Prosecutors and defense attorneys continue to hammer out details for a possible plea bargain in the case of Jessica Marie Fuchs, the former BHS teacher who was arrested back in May for allegedly having sex with a student.

Fuchs, who had previously pleaded “not guilty” at her arraignment, was expected to change her plea Thursday in an appearance before Kitsap County Superior Court Judge Sally Olsen.

However, with the parties still in discussion, Deputy Prosecutor John Purves confirmed that they would be requesting a set-over of four weeks, at which point he expected Fuchs to officially change her plea.

He would not say what Fuchs’ new plea would be.

Fuchs was arrested in early May at her Bainbridge home and charged with two felonies — first-degree sexual misconduct with a minor, and tampering with a witness — and the gross misdemeanor of communication with a minor for immoral purposes.

Fuchs was arrested after police learned of an ongoing sexual relationship between Fuchs and a 16-year-old student in her 10th-grade biology class at Bainbridge High.

Fuchs entered a “not guilty” plea to the two felony charges and the gross misdemeanor at her arraignment on May 11.

Her trial had been scheduled to start Monday, Oct. 19.
