Married teacher shocked as judge gives her three-year jail term for sex with 17-year-old student
An Ohio Catholic school teacher's jaw hit the floor as she received her prison sentence for having sex with a student. Emily Nutley, 43, will send three years in prison and five additional years on probation after she was sentenced on Tuesday for having sexual relations with a 17-year-old who was studying at St Xavier High School in Cincinnati. She was sentenced in the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court after she pleaded guilty to sexual battery in April, and will also have to register as a Tier III sex offender every 90 days for the rest of her life. During the case the court heard evidence of sexual messages she sent the boy, including one in which she wrote: 'What would be wild is that when the whole school is at Mass, I give you the best f*** of your life in my office.' Nutley and the boy had sex several times from November through December 2023, at least once in her office after hours at the all-boys school. She said after her sentencing: 'I crossed a line that should never have been crossed. '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.' The victim, who was not present, had a letter read by Elyse Deters, the assistant prosecutor. The male student wrote that his relationship with Nutley 'altered my high school experience and my life'. The teen admitted he 'didn't know I was being taken advantage of' and said the teacher 'would not leave me alone.' He added: 'She told me she would kill herself if I ended it.' The victim had asked for Nutley to be given the maximum penalty of 10 years. He also said that the abuse 'left me confused, lacking self-worth and depressed'. He added: 'I can't get away from this. I have a hard time trusting people, especially authority figures.' Nutley pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual battery for her affair with a 17-year-old pupil, which lasted from November to December 2023. The former educator told Judge Jennifer Branch that she is now 'engaging with professionals who will help me understand [my] choices' after previously claiming that her husband's 'neglect' drove her to pursue relations with the teen. 'I am not asking for forgiveness because I have not earned it,' the former teacher said. Nutley's husband Jonathan filed for divorce weeks after she was fired in October last year when the student came forward. She accused him of 'gross neglect of duty and extreme cruelty' in her legal response. Nutley has two daughters and a son, the eldest of whom is a junior at a different high school and only slightly younger than the victim. She previously taught at Madeira Elementary School, also in Cincinnati, and posted photos of her work and students there on social media. But Branch said she was hoping to hear more of an apology from Nutley, as she sentenced the one-time teacher to three years behind bars. 'I was looking for you to say that you acknowledge the harm that you caused this young man... You pretty much ruined the rest of his high school career,' the judge said, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. 'I didn't see it. I didn't hear it.' In separate remarks the victim's father said his dream of going to college on an athletic scholarship was destroyed by Nutley's abuse. The teenager first met Nutley in 2023 through a program she ran for academically struggling students at the Catholic high school. They began texting after school hours last autumn and she sent him nude selfies and at least nine 'sexually explicit messages.' She also paid the teen an 'allowance' of $100 a month, would buy him food, and at least once supplied him with the answers to an exam. But by March of that year, the teenager wanted the relationship to end and asked to be released from the learning center's help. Soon after the boy's grades plummeted and he was failing three classes. Meanwhile, prosecutors said, Nutley continued texting the student. Eventually, rumors also started to circulate at the $18,130-a-year school that Nutley was having sex with the student. On October 8, 2024, the teen met with school administrators and reported at least four sexual encounters with the teacher. Nutley was fired as soon as the criminal investigation began, which led to her being indicted by a Hamilton County grand jury and arrested on October 28. St Xavier said at the time it 'believed this case to be an isolated incident'. Nutley then joined the Jesuit school ahead of the 2021-22 year and was listed as the 'multi-tiered systems support coordinator' in the student handbook. In pre-sentencing documents, prosecutors argued Nutley 'preyed on the most defenseless person she could find' as her job at the school entailed identifying at-risk students and monitoring their progress. The prosecutors asked for at least a five-year prison sentence, while the victim's family asked Branch to sentence her to 10 years behind bars. But Nutley's defense argued she has already received threats from prison and has taken significant steps toward rehabilitation. Her lawyers also noted that she has already lost a lot, and a doctor who examined Nutley described her as a 'broken woman' plagued by mental health and substance abuse issues.

A new sort of unrest rattles Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland is used to rioting. But it is not used to the sort which for two nights enveloped parts of Ballymena this week. This disorder did not involve unionists or nationalists clashing over tribal disputes such as parades by the Protestant Orange Order through Catholic areas. There was another target: foreigners.
