A high school teacher who had sex with two of her male students was sentenced today to five years probation and barred from teaching.

Gabriela Cortez, 43 -- a Spanish teacher at Roosevelt High School in Boyle Heights -- pleaded guilty Nov. 19 to six felony counts of unlawful sexual intercourse.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Edmund W. Clarke Jr. told Cortez that parents have an expectation that "when a child goes off to school he will be treated as if they were there watching" and that Cortez breached that trust.
