A former teacher in Monroe County will spend time behind bars for sexually assaulting a student.
Christopher Martinelli was sentenced Thursday to spend between 11 1/2 and 23 months in county prison.
In November he pleaded no contest to charges of having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy in 2011.
In March 2013, Pocono Mountain Regional Police arrested Martinelli at his home in Tobyhanna Township.
At the time of his arrest, Martinelli was a 10th grade social studies teacher at Pocono Mountain West High School in Pocono Summit.
The district fired him shortly after his arrest and the state Board of Education suspended his teaching certificate.
As part of his sentencing, Martinelli also has to register as a sex offender for 25 years.

Temperatures are below freezing with mostly clear skies this morning, so watch out for some black ice.
A good amount of sunshine is expected today with highs in the upper 30s. Looks like a nice late January day.
LINKS: HOUR BY HOUR FORECAST | LOCAL RADAR
The clouds will build in once again this evening as the next storm system approaches from the south-southwest.
As this low moves up the coast, we'll see snow that could mix with a bit of rain or ice arriving near midnight Friday, or a few hours earlier.
The precipitation will taper off Saturday afternoon.
Southern parts of our area (closer to Philly) will likely see more rain and ice mixing in. The more ice and rain will result in lesser snow accumulations.
Parts of southern New Jersey and Delmarva could see over an inch of rain.
At this point, we anticipate 2-4 inches of snow possible for the Berks/Lehigh Valley area (lesser end of range if more rain/ice, higher end of range if all snow).
Of course, small fluctuations in the storm's track, speed and intensity could alter the forecast.
So please stay tuned for any changes.
Sunday will be the better day of the weekend with mostly sunny skies with highs in the upper 30s.
Clouds building back in again Sunday evening as another round of snow is possible Monday.
