Something we didn’t know was the fact that Beach’s husband also got in hot gravy for taking nudie pix of female prison inmates.
Ohio – from www.dailymail.co.uk- A teacher who was caught having sex with a 13-year-old boy pupil has been jailed for 20 years.
Ashley Jo Beach wept in court as a judge told her she was a disgrace to her profession and had abused her trust.
The 37-year-old mother of three had admitted to a four-month affair with the boy who was in her class at a junior school in Idaho.
Prosecutors said Beach, whose children are aged from three to ten, had ‘groomed’ the boy to be her lover from when he was 12-years-old.
She described the youth as ‘the light of my life’ and gave him presents to win over his affection.
Beach, who was married to a prison officer, admitted having sex with the boy in a locked classroom at her school in Meridian, Idaho.
The affair was discovered after she was caught partially undressed hiding with the boy in some bushes near the school.
Prosecutor Jean Fisher said: ‘The grooming was methodical and it was calculated.’
Beach wept as she begged for forgiveness, telling the court: ‘The trust that I destroyed with my family and the community haunts me daily.’
Jailing her, Judge Ronald Wilper said: ‘You cashed in your family, your husband and your children, your reputation. And you did this for the sake of lust.’
Her husband Shawn is also facing jail after it was revealed he took intimate photographs of female prison inmates in revenge for his wife’s affair.
He is facing charges of video voyeurism.
Beach pleaded guilty to one charge of lewd conduct. She will be eligible to apply for parole after serving four years.
