A twisted New Jersey teacher who groomed and abused two students ended up getting pregnant by one of the teens — then broke his heart by getting an abortion, it was revealed as she was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Julie Rizzitello, who was an English teacher at Wall Township High School, had told one of her victims that she’d gotten pregnant after convincing him to have unprotected sex with her on his birthday, it was revealed in court Wednesday, according to Jersey Shore Online.
The 37-year-old mom later informed the teenager, whom she’d groomed as a freshman, that she’d terminated the pregnancy.
“Not only does he have to deal with the fact that he’s groomed throughout his entire high school years, that he was preyed upon by his teacher who he loved and trusted … that he was sexually abused by this teacher,” Monmouth County Judge Jill Grace O’Malley told the hearing of the young victim.
“But now he’s struggling to come to terms with the fact that this individual had an abortion and [he] wasn’t comfortable with it. This is the psychological impact — the devastation.”
The disgraced teacher, who pleaded guilty last year to two counts of second-degree sexual assault, abused each of her victims for months at a time, prosecutors said.
The first boy — with whom she got pregnant — was a freshman when she started grooming him in 2017.
She told him she dreamed of having sex with him, which they then did multiple times in 2017 and 2018.
“This is grooming. It is traditional grooming that I see every week here in this courthouse. This is the behavior of a standard sexual predator. You’re no different,” the judge told the teacher, according to Jersey Shore Online.

I am. I’m the one who calls the cops so I can have all the booze and pot to myself. No wait. That’s someone else. Never mind. My partying years are far far behind me. But yes I was fun at parties.
A slut is always guilty in my eyes.
You need to rethink just what humor is. And yeah you are excusing her criminal behavior.
I fear you are right.
I survived Jr High. I can survive this.
Nice in Wall Twp. Nice big homes on acres of property, even got horse farms in “Wall’’. Local cops like to go round in Sam Brown belts and Campaign style hats. What a sick bitch.
Ruining so many lives and ending one before it could even begin.
I think you’re assuming a lot, and failing to separate one thing from another. I understand what you’re saying, but the world is full of evil and corruption. I can’t help what happened to those children, and joking about the perpetrator is not condoning anything.
Two completely normal heterosexual teenage boys, go into a public court room, claim they were groomed and abused, send a grown woman to prison for ten years, just so they can get million dollar settlements, paid for by tax payers.
Groomed and abused?
LOL!
When I was in junior high and high school in the 1960s, every boy I knew wanted to have sex with the most desirable female teachers and student mothers.
Not me. I totally excuse her salacious behavior, because I was a horny teenager once.
Well, actually, I kinda still am.
I’ll pass...too boney.
No doubt you have “Porky’s” on a continuous loop.
You are correct and I did in the late 50s, early 60s and did not tell anyone, not even my brothers.
Never once did I believe I was used and abused, but I knew I was sinning and if masturbation caused blindness, Oh Dear Lord.
Being a Catholic and an Alter Boy, Confession was tough, but has always been my favorite Sacrament. Mea Culpa.
On the other hand, let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.
60 plus years later, I would not change anything that I've done in my life, even the things that put me in jail.
You are responsible for everything you've done and there are no "do overs".
Live with it, God will judge me.
I've laser-engraved the entire movie on my corneas.
Thanks for the laugh.
“She started having sex with this young man when he was a Freshman! That is usually at the age of 13 or 14. She was in her 30’s. No doubt some believe adolescent sexual fantasies should override the legal, ethical, and moral implications of her behavior. That is wrong.”
Thank you! This is wrong and it’s not anything guys here should be poking fun at. The kid would have been 14 if he was a freshman. You know he is still messed up over it.
Think about this she had sex with him raw and got pregnant. You know he was not her only victim. How many other boys was she laying up with? Adult men maybe? What STD’s was she passing around? Imagine being 14 and catching a STD that you will carry forever like luggage from your teacher?
That kid was too young to think of stuff like that, but she knew.
Don’t hold back or beat around the bush. Tell us how you really feel.
Didn’t Mary Kay Letourneau ruin Vili Fualaau’s life?
THANK YOU!!!!
It’s disgusting when that happens.
And ironically, the men who kvetch the most about the justice system’s treatment of women are more than willing to give female predators a break themselves based on something as shallow as looks.
Sexual abuse is NOT a joke, no matter who’s doing it. It’s not OK if the victim *wants* it.
And the same people who give women a pass based on looks, never do the same for men when they’re with a young girl. The guy is supposed to be strung up and castrated and branded a sexual predator for life. But a woman? Giving her a pass?
From this woman, HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!
Give her the same treatment as men get, regardless of looks.
The hypocrisy is truly staggering.
Thanks so much for your bluntness. It sure is needed when threads like this show up.
