Sentencing has been delayed about a month for a former middle school counselor who was convicted last summer of raping a male student while he was working at her home.

Defense attorney Roger Struble ask for the continuance in the sentencing of 33-year-old Brooke Dinkel, because of medical issues. Judge Patrick Thompson continued the sentencing to Wednesday November 12th at 2:30pm.

Dinkel who was a counselor at Smoky Valley Middle School in Lindsborg, first had sex with the then 13-year-old boy at her Salina home in late 2012. Dinkel was convicted by a jury in June on two counts of rape. She was acquitted on 18 other counts of rape and aggravated criminal sodomy.
