A married teacher in Australia has been charged with sexual intercourse with a child under her care after allegedly having sex with a student in the back of her car.


Tayla Brailey, 30, was arrested at Lurnea High on Tuesday and charged with sexual intercourse with a child under her authority, sexually touching a child under her authority, and aggravated sexual assault of a child under her authority.


According to bombshell court documents, the newlywed broke down when detectives arrived at the southwest Sydney school where she works and became hysterical.


She allegedly said: “I am going to jail, aren’t I? I’m going to lose my family, my husband, my job.”




According to the Daily Telegraph, new details about Brailey’s alleged crimes were aired in court.

Police allege that Brailey sent videos to the 17-year-old of herself masturbating and that she bought the morning-after pill after an alleged sexual encounter.


The alleged affair with the student started when the boy added Brailey on Snapchat and the pair began exchanging messages in early July.


“The accused [allegedly] sent a number of photographs and videos of herself both naked and while she was masturbating herself,” the police facts state.


“The victim also returned a number of photographs and videos of himself.”


Brailey then invited the teen to her North Wollongong home, where she allegedly kissed him before taking him to an upstairs room and masturbating him.


Around a week later, Brailey was on duty at school when she contacted the teen and told him she was free for an hour.

The Wisconsin teacher busted for allegedly “making out” with an 11-year-old student in her classroom has been slapped with more charges — and could spend the rest of her life in prison, if convicted.


Madison Bergmann, 24, now faces nine additional felonies — one count of using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime, five charges of sexual misconduct by school staff, two charges of child enticement causing mental or bodily harm, and a charge of exposing a child to harmful materials, according to an amended complaint filed last week.


The former fifth-grade teacher at River Crest Elementary School was previously charged with first-degree sexual assault of a child.

According to the criminal complaint, Bergmann’s alleged abuse of the 11-year-old boy came to light when the student’s mother overheard her son talking to the teacher on the phone. Suspicious, the parents checked the boy’s phone and allegedly found salacious texts between the pair.


The deranged text chain included messages from Bergmann allegedly discussing multiple encounters inside the Hudson, Wis., classroom during lunch or after school. She allegedly told the child how much she enjoyed him touching her and “making out.”

When police searched Bergmann’s classroom, they allegedly found a folder in her bag with the victim’s name on it. The folder allegedly contained handwritten notes talking about how much they kissed.


Bergmann was supposed to get married in July — but the nuptials never happened. At the time, a friend told The Post that the accusations blindsided the groom-to-be, Sam Hickman.

Teacher admits having sex with 16-year-old boy — leaving claw marks on his back — as other students served as lookouts​

A Missouri math teacher is likely headed to prison after admitting last week that she had sex with a 16-year-old student while other students served as her “lookouts” — and the boy’s dad still faces felony charges for allegedly condoning the disturbing relationship.


Hailey Clifton-Carmack, 26, was arrested in January after a student reported their illicit relationship to a school resource officer, then showed cops a photo of the scratches she left on her victim’s back.


On Friday, she pleaded guilty to sexual contact with a student, a charge that could imprison her for the next four years, according to the Daily Mail.

The plea deal let her avoid other serious charges, including statutory rape, child molestation and child endangerment.




The tartish teacher will now be on house arrest until her Oct. 11 sentencing, the outlet said.

The boy’s dad, Mark Creighton, has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child, since he allegedly knew about the affair but didn’t report it.


But that case is on hold until after Clifton-Carmack’s sentencing in Pulaski County, Missouri, according to the county’s prosecuting attorney, Kevin S. Hillman.

Clifton-Carmack’s plea is the latest turn in the sickening case, which began when a student witness reported the relationship between the teen and the Laquey High School math teacher last December.


The witness showed cops the photo of the victim’s torn-up back, which Clifton-Carmack allegedly mauled when the two had sex in the witness’s driveway.


The math teacher — a divorced mother of two — had gotten in trouble with school officials before for getting too close to the students, the witness added.


She also often wore revealing clothing, like low-cut shirts and tight leggings.


Clifton-Carmack denied the relationship when detectives caught up with her on Dec. 8, 2023.

Cops confiscated her phone, and eventually found text messages illuminating the risqué relationship, court documents said.


She took off just before Christmas, allegedly heading to Texas so she could visit family. But her roommates said she’d moved permanently and weren’t sure if she was coming back.


In January, the Garden Ridge Police Department arrested her in Comal County, Texas, and charged her with first-degree endangering the welfare of a child, second-degree statutory rape, sexual contact with a student, and fourth-degree child molestation.


Creighton, the boy’s dad, was also arrested in January on a charge of endangering the welfare of a child after another witness said they told the teen’s father about the teacher’s actions.

He simply said he knew about their sexual relationship, court documents said.


And he also knew that his son and the teacher used students to serve as lookouts — particularly when they had sex during school hours.


The man “knew of the relationship of his minor child and the 26-year-old teacher, and instead of reporting the information, he continued to cover for them and allowed the relationship to continue” and “even allowed Hailey to come over to his residence and see the victim while he was present,” prosecutors said.


He also reportedly told a witness he would lie for his son if he had to.
 

Disgraced Wisconsin teacher accused of ‘making out’ with 11-year-old-student demands charges be thrown out​

HUDSON, Wisconsin — A disgraced Wisconsin teacher accused of sexually assaulting her 11-year-old student claimed Thursday that the charges against her should be thrown out — because the preteen boy’s text messages weren’t specific enough about how they touched each other.
A judge disagreed, and said Madison Bergmann — who made headlines when she was accused of “making out” with the fifth-grader weeks before her wedding — must stand trial for charges that include first-degree child sex assault, child enticement and sexual misconduct by a school staff member.
Intimate text messages that the pair exchanged also emerged in court, in which the 24-year-old elementary school teacher allegedly said she wanted to “lick” the boy’s abs and that he enjoyed touching his chest.

She cried as she took the stand during a hearing on her defense team’s motion to dismiss the charges.
An attorney for Bergman read from her racy texts with the alleged victim — and argued that her behavior did not rise to the level of sexual assault because the boy used the word “chest” in describing their physical contact.

“The basis of this motion is that there’s not probable cause in the complaint, in one specific area,” attorney Joseph Tamburino told the court, “and that’s the area of ‘sexual contact of intimate part.'”
“Under Wisconsin statutes, there has to be touching of an intimate part in order for there to be sexual contact,” Tamburino argued. “What are those parts? The breast, buttocks, anus, groin, scrotum, penis, vagina, or pubic mound of a human being. The statute does not say it’s the ‘chest’ or the ‘chest area.'”
In one text, the 11-year-old allegedly wrote, “You were touching my chest a lot.” He argued that the word “chest” was not enough to charge Bergmann with sexual assault.

But in the end, the judge said, “It would be absurd to require a child to use the same language that the state legislature has chosen for our statues.”

“I love having my hand on your chest. I could feel your heart beating so much haha” Bergmann allegedly wrote.
The boy allegedly replied “haha it was beating so fast. I was so surprised and I loved it because you just kept kissing me.”

“When everyone was cleaning after reading, I was standing at the front and you were too, and I touched your chest,” Bergmann allegedly wrote. “When I grabbed your shirt and I pulled you into me, oh my goodness…I want to lick your abs haha.”
The judge ruled that the word “chest” does not mean that the boy wasn’t assaulted.

Wisconsin teacher accused of ‘making out’ with 11-year-old-student allegedly traded 33K explicit texts with him​

Published Oct. 7, 2024, 7:12 p.m. ET














A disgraced Wisconsin teacher accused of sexually assaulting her 11-year-old student allegedly sent him more than 33,000 racy texts — some so explicit that the 23-year-old bowed her head in shame as they were read in open court on Monday.
During a preliminary hearing in St. Croix County Circuit Court, attorneys sparred over whether the evidence supported the 10 felony charges against Madison Bergmann, including first-degree child sex assault, child enticement and multiple counts of sexual misconduct by a school staff member.
During the hearing, school resource officer Traci Hall told the court that Bergmann and the victim exchanged the staggering number of texts in the early part of this year.

Prosecutor Karl Anderson began reading from the texts, noting that things became X-rated on April 27.

“There’s a conversation about the victim being hard, and if she felt that during their hug,” he said. “Did she acknowledge that she felt it?”
“Yes,” Hall responded.
“What else did she say?” Anderson asked.
“That she would wear dresses more often because she liked how he touched her leg,” Hall responded.
“Does Ms. Bergmann ever allude to being sexually aroused in the text messages?” Anderson asked.
“She talks about being wet in the classroom,” Hall responded, as Bergmann looked downwards.

But attorneys for the teacher insisted that she has been overcharged, arguing the text messages alone were not sufficient to support five charges of sexual misconduct.
“There is never any language where she says ‘I want to have sex with you,” argued attorney Joseph Tamburino, “or that he says ‘I want you to do this with me.'”
“They talk a lot about kissing, and lips, and cheeks, and touching legs,” Tamburino continued. “They also talk about some sexual issues, obviously, about a woman’s body and a man’s body. But nothing like ‘this is what I want you to do to me,’ or ‘this is what I will do to you.'”
A judge disagreed, and found the text messages were admissible evidence of sexual misconduct on the part of Bergmann.
“It’s clear to me that the state has met its burden to find probable cause that the defendant has committed a felony,” the judge ruled in moving the case forward. “Clearly, there was probable cause presented by the detective today. The case is bound to go for trial.”

Transgender coach, rehired due to ‘transphobia’ concerns, resigns after porn video surfaces

Having sex with another man in a ski mask, smoking meth
A transgender high school tennis coach who, despite complaints of inappropriate behavior, was rehired due to concerns of “transphobia,” has now resigned after a pair of videos surfaced of him engaged in vulgar behavior.
David Yates (pictured), who goes by “Sasha,” got his job back via a 6-2 vote by the Gettysburg Area School District board last summer.
Yates had been dismissed after various complaints, including “changing in and ‘walking through’ the girls’ locker room,” and “talk[ing] to students about undergarment preferences and menstruation.”
But he later reapplied for his coaching position, and a solicitor recommended he be rehired — else the district could face a lawsuit.
Many in the local community favored Yates’ rehiring, claiming transphobia was behind his firing in the first place.
But as The Daily Wire reports today, many of Yates’ supporters now “have gone silent.”
That’s because board member Michelle Smyers received an email late last month containing a pair of videos along with the message “Thought you might find it interesting how your high school tennis coach spends her weekends.”
In one video, screenshots of which were reviewed by The Daily Wire, [Yates] appears to be smoking meth, with the assistance of a woman, and asks, “Am I a good meth whore?” In another, Yates — a middle-aged British man — is seen bent over a counter wearing a black bra and having sex with a man wearing a ski mask.

Smyers said that around the same time as the email, she received a text message from Yates’ number which said “I have information about Sasha Yates that you need to know.”
A follow-up text stated “This is Sasha Yates… I know what the video shows and I’m prepared to step down as Head Coach for tennis at the end of the girls season, which will be this Thursday.”
Yates declined to comment when contacted by The Daily Wire.
Smyers, one of the board who had voted against rehiring Yates, said other board members had “privately agreed that Yates should not work in a school, but they were afraid to say so publicly” out of fear of being labeled “intolerant.”
Smyers said she personally was called a “bigot,” “Nazi,” “KKKaren,” and “racist.”
Yates’ resignation officially took effect September 30 and cited “ongoing health reasons.” The district has yet to offer comment, and Smyers said she thinks officials never will apologize for keeping Yates employed.
“No, they won’t say a word,” she told Reduxx. “They are probably hoping I don’t say a word, and if I do they will chastise me and say this is a personnel issue and I shouldn’t talk about it.”

‘F–ked up’ married substitute teacher paid students, plied them with booze and pot for sex: cops​

Published Nov. 15, 2024, 8:07 a.m. ET











A married Missouri substitute teacher is charged with offering money, booze and pot to students in exchange for sex — including with one boy she slept with on a gravel road, according to police.


Carissa Jane Smith, 30, of Dixon, would pay off the students to keep quiet about the encounters, which occurred from August 2023 to September 2024, in return for sex or for allowing her to perform oral sex on them, according to the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office.


One of the victims claimed that Smith, who has children, forced him to ejaculate inside her.

“That was f—ked up,” he told her, according to charging documents. She then allegedly offered him more money.




Smith, who formerly taught in the Dixon R-1 School District, would have sex with the students at various locations, including her home, on the side of the road or even on gravel roads, police said.

One young victim told police he was in middle school when Smith asked him to have sex.

The victim said he first met Smith while she was substitute teaching and gave him her Snapchat contact.


“Smith began sending them pictures of her breasts and buttocks, along with her nude in the shower,” according to court documents obtained by The Post.


The alleged predator then offered the student money in exchange for sex — but told him to keep his mouth shut.


“[The victim] stated Mrs. Smith told them not to talk about it or else they would get into trouble. Mrs. Smith stated, ‘You know you can’t talk about this with anybody?'” court documents said.

She would typically pay the students $100 to have sex with her or to let her perform oral sex on them but also paid them in alcohol and marijuana.


In one encounter, Smith smoked marijuana with the victim and Smith’s friend Lacey Beam — a former school nurse for the Dixon School District, according to the documents.


Smith dropped Beam off at her home and then took the boy to McDonald’s because her husband was at her home with their children, the docs said.

The Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office said she could face additional charges if more potential victims come forward.


Smith was hired in September 2022 as a long-term substitute for Dixon Middle School, the court docs note.

She was later hired as a paraprofessional and long-term substitute with Dixon High School before she resigned in August 2024.


Dixon R-1 School District Superintendent Travis Bohrer said in a letter to parents on Wednesday that the district learned of the allegations against Smith earlier this year, but was not able to comment as the investigation was ongoing.


The district cooperated with the sheriff’s office and the administrators conducted their own internal investigation.





“This is very disturbing and distressing information for everyone in our school community,” Bohrer said of Smith’s arrest, adding that the district has been in contact with families of the victims.


She was arrested Nov. 12 and is being held on a $250,000 bond.




She’s charged with eight counts of statutory rape; one count of sodomy; three counts of sexual contact with a student; two counts of sexual misconduct with a student; one count of patronizing prostitution; two counts of sexual trafficking a child; and two counts of hindering prosecution.

The teen replied: “I don’t know, are we?”


“Are you trying to get me to lose my job?” Hancock allegedly said.

The pair then shared naked photos and sexually explicit videos, the student told investigators in November 2022, KOKH reported, citing an arrest affidavit.


The student alleged that he and Hancock, on two occasions, met in the classroom the then-26-year-old was subbing in and make out inside a closet during the teen’s lunch, claiming the teacher groped him at least once.


The teen claimed Hancock would also allow him to take hits from her vape pen.

Rumors began to spread about the illegal relationship after the teen reportedly told one of his friends, who went to confront Hancock.

Hancock initially denied any wrongdoing but then allegedly admitted to the inappropriate behavior, saying it would “not amount to anything because they were not going to get caught.”


Authorities obtained a search warrant for Hancock’s Snapchat account and discovered videos of the classroom incidents.


She turned herself in on April 13, 2023.










During the trial, Hancock’s husband, Alfred Hancock, testified in support of his wife, saying he believed she didn’t do anything wrong.


“She looked me dead in the eyes and said, there’s nothing [on her phone]. I mean, I believe that there’s nothing there,” the police chief told jurors in October according to NonDoc.com. “She’s my wife. I believe her. I’m on her side.”


Hancock, 28, who goes by Delaney, denied the relationship with the teen and claimed she never sent or received any sexual messages to or from the boy.


She was found guilty of two of the five charges she faced.

The convicted felon will only have to serve four years behind bars if she adheres to the sentence, KOKH reported.


Along with the prison time, Hancock will have to register as a sex offender.

Her teaching license was also revoked.


The ex-Charger Academy educator formed relationships with the preteens she met while in her class before playing video games, following them on social media and befriending their mothers to exploit her position of authority, WREG reported.


McCommon was fond of one student, a 12-year-old, whom she called over 200 times and sent explicit photos to over Snapchat.


In one message, McCommon threatened the boy that she would kill herself if he broke off the relationship, the outlet reported.

In a call to the minor played in court, McCommon – a mother of two beforehand – said she was ready to bring their alleged child into the world.

A judge later ruled that McCommon would have “no contact with the infant child.”


The victim’s mother, who has custody of the child, said the newborn would not be influenced by its felony mother and that McCommon has to face her punishments.

A New Jersey elementary school teacher allegedly had a child with one of her former students, 13, who lived with her for several years — and was caught when the teen’s father noticed a similarity between his son and the child on social media.


Laura Caron, a fifth-grade teacher, is accused of sexually assaulting her ex-pupil when they lived together in her home between 2016 and 2020, the Cape May County Prosecutor’s Office revealed Wednesday.


Caron, 34, first met her victim when she taught him and his brother in the fifth grade at Middle Township Elementary School in southern New Jersey.

The three siblings lived permanently with Caron between 2016 and 2020, sharing a bedroom.

During that time, Caron allegedly had “inappropriate sexual relations” with her former pupil and later became pregnant.


She gave birth to the child in 2019.


The student’s father pointed out the uncanny similarity between Caron’s child, himself and his son on a Facebook post in December 2024.


The boy’s sister told prosecutors that she remembered going to sleep with her brother in the same room, but woke up to find him sleeping in Caron’s bed, the outlet reported.

The unidentified girl claimed Caron began sleeping with her brother when he was 11 years old.


Investigators found that the teen’s brother had once seen Caron sexually assaulting his sleeping brother.


The unidentified teen victim, who is now between 19 and 20 years old, revealed to investigators the sexual relationship with Caron and that he fathered his former teacher’s child.


The two had remained in contact until his father made the December Facebook post.

Police arrested Caron at her home on Wednesday and charged her with aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, and endangering the welfare of a child.




She is being held at the Cape May County Correctional Facility without bond until her initial court appearance, according to the prosecutors and court records viewed by The Post.





“This arrest underscores the unwavering commitment of our office and law enforcement partners to protect the children in our community,” Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffery Sutherland said.


“Teachers hold a position of great trust, and the allegations in this case represent a deeply troubling breach of that trust. We will work tirelessly to ensure justice is served and to support the victim and their family throughout this process.”




The Middle Township School District placed Caron on paid administrative leave, CBS Philadelphia reported.


The school district is said to be cooperating with investigators, the prosecutor’s office said.
 

Mary Kay Letourneau’s sex abuse of hideous then-12-year-old Vili Fualaau ‘literally messed up entire class,’ ex-student says​

Infamous child-rapist teacher Mary Kay Letourneau traumatized her students when she was caught abusing one of their sixth-grade classmates — and for some, the scars remain nearly three decades later.


“It f–ked me up for a long time,” said Caitlin Steed, who was a 12-year-old at Shorewood Elementary School in Burien, Wash., in 1996 when her teacher was caught having sex with classmate Vili Fualaau.


“She was a mother figure for us because she was so nurturing,” Steed told The Post of Letourneau, then a 34-year-old married mother of four. “And then we had to process all of this really when we’re just learning what sex is all about.

Along the way, she became pregnant by Fualaau twice by the time he was 15, despite multiple court orders aimed at keeping them apart. The pair ended up having two daughters.


As the case grew into an international scandal, students at the school had to deal with news trucks in their parking lots and almost daily articles in newspapers.

By the time Letourneau was released from prison, the pair had two daughters, Fualaau was 21, and he petitioned the court to allow them to see each other. The restraining order against Letourneau was dropped, and the couple married in 2005. They settled in Washington and raised daughters Audrey and Georgia.


The marriage lasted until 2017, when Fualaau filed for official separation. The couple remained amicable co-parents until her death from cancer in 2020.

Special education teacher charged with molesting 15-year-old student claims teen sent texts to himself from her phone to ‘blackmail’ her​

The Illinois special education teacher accused of molesting her 15-year-old student claims she was set up to be blackmailed by the alleged victim and was targeted because she was “good looking.”


Christina Formella, 30, denied ever assaulting the teen while tutoring him inside a classroom at Downers Grove South High School in December 2023 following her arrest Sunday — after the boy’s mother uncovered the alleged assault through text messages on his phone.


The married teacher allegedly told investigators that the student had broken into her phone and used her number to send himself inappropriate text messages to “blackmail” her.

Formella, who also coached soccer at the school, told police that her looks and caring “too much” made her a target.

She was 28 at the time of the alleged incident.

She allegedly came across text messages between her son and Formella that discussed sexual contact — and even a relationship, which the boy reportedly ended.


After confronting her son, they both went to the Downers Grove Police Department that day to report their allegations, and investigators said they discovered additional evidence indicating sexual contact between the two.


Formella — who had been working as a special education teacher at the school since 2020 — was arrested by Downers Grove detectives during a traffic stop on Sunday.











She denied the allegations and told police she never had sex with the student.


Formella was charged with two counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse and one count of criminal sexual assault.

“It is alleged that she used her position of trust and authority as a tutor and a coach to sexually assault a minor student. The type of abuse and behavior alleged in this case will not be tolerated.”


Prosecutors sought to keep her detained following her arrest, but a judge denied the request.


However, she was released on the condition that she have no contact with anyone under 18 and not enter Downers Grove South High School.


Formella’s next court appearance is scheduled for April 14.

A twisted New Jersey special education teacher allegedly exchanged more than 25,000 text messages with the middle-school boy she is accused of sexually assaulting, according to a seven-count indictment.

Freehold Intermediate School’s Allison Havemann-Niedrach sent thousands of messages to the 15-year-old victim starting when the alleged abuse began in early 2024, and stopped in June with her arrest, according to the indictment.

Authorities began looking into Havemann-Niedrach, 44, in June, after the school’s vice principal told investigators he was worried about her relationship with the eighth-grader — after another teacher reportedly spotted her “rubbing the victim’s neck and back.”

Conestoga High School teacher accused of having sexual relationship with student, DA says​


philadelphia
By Laura Fay, CBS News Philadelphia Staff

Updated on: May 1, 2025 / 5:54 AM EDT / CBS Philadelphia







A Chester County high school teacher is facing charges after being accused of having a sexual relationship with a student, the district attorney said Wednesday.

The Chester County DA's office and Tredyffrin Township police announced that Michelle Mercogliano, 35, of Phoenixville, is facing multiple charges related to her relationship with a student attending Conestoga High School, where she was a special education teacher.

Mercogliano has not been arrested but is cooperating and arranging a time to turn herself in, officials said.

Mercogliano's charges include institutional sexual assault, corruption of minors, delivery of a controlled substance and others, according to the DA and police.

The criminal complaint alleges Mercogliano started a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old in February and provided the victim with medical marijuana about 15 times.







According to the criminal complaint, Mercogliano and the victim communicated via Snapchat and text message and met up multiple times. Mercogliano allegedly drove the victim to a dispensary and purchased medical marijuana for him, the complaint says.

Tredyffrin Township Police Chief Michael Beaty described Mercogliano's actions as "shocking and disturbing" in a news release.

Mercogliano is on leave from Tredyffrin/Easttown School District and does not have access to district property, Superintendent Richard Gusick said in a letter to the community.

The district is cooperating with the investigation, Gusick said.




Mercogliano started teaching at Conestoga High School in the fall, Gusick said. She previously worked as a teacher at Hillside Elementary from 2019 to 2024. Before that, she was a paraprofessional at Hillside and Valley Forge Elementary School from 2014 to 2018.

"We are deeply troubled by these allegations. The District remains committed to providing a safe and supportive school environment for all students," the letter says in part.

The superintendent said there is no indication that other students were involved, but anyone with information should contact Tredyffrin Township Police at 610-644-3221. Parents can contact their children's principals if they need support, the letter says.

A high school special-education teacher has been hit with 63 charges for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old student in her parents’ home after plying him with marijuana.

Michelle Mercogliano, 35, a teacher at Conestoga High School in Chester County, Pennsylvania, allegedly had sex with the teen student around a dozen times since February after picking him up after school and taking him to buy him medical marijuana, according to a criminal complaint obtained by WPVI.

“After traveling to the marijuana dispensary, Mercogliano and [the teen] would smoke marijuana together and have sex, usually in a bedroom at her parents’ residence,” police wrote in the complaint.

“The calculated actions by this defendant are shocking and disturbing,” said Chief Michael Beaty.


“We are here to support the victim and his family as we collectively work to rebuild the trust damaged by her criminal endeavors,” Beaty added.


Mercogliano was charged on Wednesday but has not been arrested yet. Police say she has been cooperative and has arranged a time to turn herself in with her lawyer, WPVI reported.

She is an academic support teacher at the high school and also works as an adjunct professor at Immaculata University, teaching Italian, according to the district’s website.


The Tredyffrin Easttown School District confirmed that Mercogliano was “immediately” placed on leave after it learned of the allegations this week, according to a letter sent out to the school community.




She’d been teaching at Conestoga since the fall and previously taught at Hillside Elementary School from 2019 to 2024. She had worked as a paraprofessional in the district since 2014, the district said.


“We have no information at this time to indicate that the criminal investigation involves other students,” Superintendent Richard Gusick said in a statement.
 

School counselor fights tears as she gets prison for sex with student: ‘I’ve lost my husband, my home, my friends’​

A now-fired counselor at an elite Ohio Catholic boys’ school fought back tears as she was sentenced to prison after admitting having sex with a student — saying she had already lost her husband, home and friends over her disgraceful behavior.

Emily Nutley, 43, had asked to stay free on probation after admitting sex with the 17-year-old student — but was left with tears in her eyes Tuesday as a judge sentenced her to three years in prison, video by WLWT showed.

The married mom had told the judge that there was “no excuse” for her depraved behavior, which included sex with the vulnerable teen in her office at their prestigious Jesuit school in Cincinnati, where she was supposed to help the most at-risk students.

“I crossed a line that should never have been crossed,” Nutley said during sentencing at Hamilton County Court.


“I think every day about the impact of my actions. I’ve lost my husband, my home, my friends. I’ve caused harm and embarrassment to my children,” said the mom, whose husband filed for divorce soon after the scandal broke.

Nutley had sex with the student multiple times, including in her office at St. Xavier High School, according to court documents obtained by WLWT.

She threatened to kill herself if the boy ended the relationship, her victim said, as he described the abuse that took place during the fall 2023 semester.

Nutley’s husband, Jonathan, filed for divorce just weeks after she was fired in October last year when the student came forward.

It emerged in court that Nutley had exchanged nudes with the student and gave him a monthly allowance, as well as answers to an upcoming test.

She “preyed on the most defenseless person she could find,” prosecutors said in pre-sentencing documents seeking at least a five-year prison term.

She was described as a “broken woman” battling mental health and substance abuse issues by a doctor hired by her defense to examine her.

Nutley, however, made clear she did not expect forgiveness. “I have not earned it.”

“When the abuse started, I didn’t know I was being taken advantage of,” the victim said in a statement read out in court by Elyse Deters, the assistant prosecutor on the case.

“She would not leave me alone. She told me she would kill herself if I ended it. Even at sporting events, people yell her name at me.”



Nutley had pleaded guilty in April to two counts of sexual battery, each a third-degree felony.


On top of her three-year prison sentence, Nutley was ordered to serve probation for five years following her release.


She will also have to register as a Tier III sex offender every 90 days for the rest of her life.
