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.

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. ... As you point out, there is a difference between teenage boys and teenage girls.

So if the sex's were reversed and you were girl, the guy would have been a sexual predator and should be imprisoned?

Case dismissed - but the judge wishes to discuss further with defendant in chambers. Court stands adjourned.

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....

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.

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.

The young lady? Not guilty.

The 17 year old student? Sentenced to 1 year of “high fives” from his buddies.

It is a double standard and I think that is a good thing in this case. If I was involved in something like that back in the day in high school, I certainly would not have been harmed by it. (before HS is a different story) Men are more likely to be predators. It's part of biology. Also, without going into detail, different equipment.

As far as she goes, she's not my type, but I may have a different opinion if I was 16.

Why is it that female sexual predators are not taken seriously by our justice system?

I would be congratulating my 15 year old son if he hit that! She ain't Deb LaFave, but still... I sure wouldn't be trying to get her into trouble. The double standard is a matter of culture and society. If it were a male trainer and my teen daughter, I would pull the lever myself. :)

But then again, my mother was 15 when she married my father, and he was in his early 20s. Nowadays, he would be a sex offender and shunned if he ever got out of jail.

I think we have all just gotten too damn protective. This age thing is totally subjective and depends on the maturity of the individual, not some arbitrary number (18) which was invented (imposed?) by the government. I honestly don't see how we are supposed to keep our teens from doing anything sexual. Face it. Sex is FUN, interesting, and very tempting, no matter your age. We are driven to do it. It is simple biology. Folks need to wake up and realize that their kids are sexual beings and are gonna at least experiment with sex whether or not they want them to.

I know that when I was 15, I would have given my left arm to have sex with a hot 24 year old teacher. I fantasized about some of my teachers so much that I found their classes difficult. Sophomore year geometry... Wow, was she hot. Every jock in my class was constantly flirting with her, trying to get her to date them, etc, but she was married to an undertaker of all things.

No. I don't think that a seven year age difference, especially when the younger party is so close to 18, constitutes sexual predation.

As I said, it's a lapse of judgment in the extreme, and jobs should be lost and teaching certificates revoked, but there's no "victim" here - unless of course the person in authority used her authority in a coercive manner. Then that's a completely other circumstance.

You can make that argument as a few in this thread have. But the laws on the books draw no distinctions between genders; ALL offenders should be treated equally under the law until which time the laws are changed.

The law says there is or she would never have been charged.

Time for the Debra Lafave defense.

"..to place an attractive young woman in that kind of hellhole, is like putting a piece of raw meat in with the lions."

"The law says there is or she would never have been charged. "

There's laws in my state that says you can't water your horse in the public square. That doesn't mean that law is either right or relevant. Sometimes laws (and we have WAY too many of them already) are either poorly written, poorly enforced or just past their point of relevance from when they were enacted.

I can promise you, in 1780, there was no law about 17 year-olds having sex with 24 year-olds.
