NEWPORT BEACH – A female high school athletic trainer pleaded guilty today to having an unlawful sexual relationship for one year with a male high school student.
Hope Ashley Jacoby, 24, San Juan Capistrano, faces three years' probation – including 30 days' Caltrans service – at her sentencing July 29 before Superior Court Commissioner Greg Jones.
She pleaded guilty to seven felony counts involving sexual contact with a minor.
Jacoby admitted that she had an unlawful sexual relationship in 2008 with a male student she met while working as an athletic trainer at Tustin High School.

Not guilty.
Interesting that this story is dated July 1 yet you waited three days to post - AND/OR - incorrectly put today’s date at the top of your post. Just looking to stir things up, I see.
Innocent....
Spanking and sent to bed.
These kinds of things would never happen if gym teachers were allowed to get married.
It’s not that interesting, really. I just got the date wrong. But you’re free to make of it what you will.
Why is it that female sexual predators are not taken seriously by our justice system? I swear almost all of them get probation. It is freaking ridiculous.
Sexual predators are sexual predators, regardless of if they have breasts or a dangle. They all need to do serious time.
Exactly the reason I posted this. The double standard blows.
I agree. But in an entirely different context.
They were a lot less slutty back then, and knew better than to cross certain lines even if they were slutty. This is NOT the same culture I grew up in...
Because the "victim" was a 17 year-old boy who probably high-fived and bragged to all his buddies about banging the hot gym teacher. I doubt he needs counseling.
And why the double standard? because men are different from women and teenage boys are different from teenage girls. That's just the way it is.
No its different. We don’t get pregnant. Boys just get messed up in different ways but it would happen anyway 2 seconds after marriage when the new brides head starts spinning and green goop goes everywhere.
parsy, the very jaded
.
NOT GUILTY!
The “victim” was 16 at the time. And the law addresses age not gender. So there is no excuse for boy/girls or men/women to be handeled any differently.
I think I went golfing with this girl before. She was my caddy. I was getting ready for my next shot and she asked “3 iron?” And I replied, “No, I already have wood, thanks.”
Or would you have just "dreamed" about her?
A long time ago a 24 year-old was an adult. They were probably married with children and had nothing in common with the students they were teaching. Today's 24 year-olds are barely removed from the high school mindset. They watch the same movies, listen to the same music, have the same interests and post the same crap on their myspace pages. They have so much in common with each other, it's not unusual that they'd forget their age differences and hook up.
My freshman year in college (back when we still rode horses to campus), I was a 17 year-old "dating" (that's what we called it back then, I think the kids call it something else today) a 24 year-old grad student. Now, she didn't know I was only 17 until a few weeks into our relationship and she wasn't my grad assistant. But still, there was certainly nothing predatory about it.
As you point out, there is a difference between teenage boys and teenage girls. If this woman was in her thirties, or older, I might see a more serious problem. What she did was wrong and she should lose her job, but prison isn't the answer here.
“And why the double standard? because men are different from women and teenage boys are different from teenage girls. That’s just the way it is. “
yes they are different, boys mature at a slower rate than girls. thats just the way it is.
They were there but they weren’t being prosecuted and their faces splashed in the newspaper.
Let me guess, you'll be here all week, be sure to tip the wait staff and the bathrooms are around the corner and to the left.
Hey, I tried. :O)
innocent
Not guilty!
Simple. It's the liberal view of the world imposed on the rest of the citizenry and so that's the way it is. In the liberal worldview, there are two classes. The oppressor class and the victim class. These classes are more or less permanent and they are defined by liberals. By definition, only those belonging to the oppressor class can be guilty of "oppression" and those in the victim class, of "victimization". Examples of oppressors are men, the rich, Caucasians, Christians, hetrosexuals..etc. Those of the victim class - women, the "poor", blacks, homos..etc.

LOL! Post of the day!
Because teenage boys aren't psychologically traumatized by an encounter like this as is often the case when the genders are reversed.Yes,there are reasons why it still should be strongly discouraged but....
The saddest part of this whole story is that a beautiful young girl’s career is ruined. Four years of university for nothing. Cyndi Lauper said it best: “MILFs just wanna have fun.”
Well if a boy is going to be molested it might as well be by her.
She’s a looker!
Add 20 years,30 pounds and a nun's habit and you have my teachers.
Where were these teachers when I was in High School.
To be sure, what she did was clearly illegal
I wonder if they are going to through the book at her
So if the sex's were reversed and you were girl, the guy would have been a sexual predator and should be imprisoned?
In the past twenty years our Popular Culture has fostered Hypersexuality in Our Society.
"Joe, guess what? I'm pregnant".
Case dismissed - but the judge wishes to discuss further with defendant in chambers. Court stands adjourned.
Mine, too. St. Joe's, Needham.

BS Many if thes girls have been throwing it in the face of these teachers for years for better grades. Traumatised my butt. These girls start wearing make up and start growing breasts and think they are women They flaunt themselves and some stupid teacher takes what they are giving away. There are damned few girls of 17 these days that dont know the score.
Teachers of either gender have no business having sex woth students. When they do gender shouldnt enter into it, They both should be punished the same or given probation the same.
You are a baaaad boy. (LOL)
There should be a double standard because men and women are different. The law should go easier on attractive young female teachers, as it did in this case.
Unfortunately, the double standard carries over to domestic violence, divorce and child custody. That's the problem.
Innocent!
