A 26-year-old former Carson Junior High teacher pleaded guilty on Monday in Maricopa County Superior Court to having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old girl she met through church.
Elizabeth Livesay, a special needs teacher at the school, pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual conduct with a minor, according to information from the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. Five sexual-related charges against Livesay were dropped, according to a plea agreement.

The girl she had a sexual relationship with was not a student at the school, authorities said.
Livesay, who had taught at the school for a year and a half, was arrested on Nov. 17, and was placed on paid administrative leave until she resigned on Feb. 12, according to information from Kathy Bareiss, spokeswoman for the Mesa Unified School District.
Livesay will be sentenced on June 8.
