A judge sentenced Daniel Tyler Morgan Friday.
Morgan, 30, was arrested last year at his Jupiter home,
He later resigned from his job as a 10th grade history teacher.
Morgan was accused of having a sexual conversation with a 17-year-old student via Snapchat, where he also exchanged a nude picture of himself, according to an arrest report.
Morgan solicited sexually explicit photographs from the teenager and also encouraged the minor to join him in smoking marijuana, the U.S. Attorney said.
