Former Tustin High School personal trainer, Hope Ashley Jacoby, 24, was today sentenced to three years of informal probation and 240 hours of community service, after pleading guilty to four counts of unlawful sexual intercourse and three counts of oral copulation with a minor.

Jacoby admitted to having sex with a 16-year-old male student in her car and at her home on several different occasions throughout 2008.

School officials learned of the relationship when pictures of Jacoby were found on the student's phone.

The prosecution, led by Deputy District Attorney Nikki Buracchio, asked Judge Gregory W. Jones for a more substantial punishment considering the position of trust Jacoby held as a trainer at the school, before handing out the sentence.

But Judge Jones ruled against the DA's office wishes.

All of Jacoby's offenses are considered felonies, but were reduced to misdemeanors on account of what Judge Jones considered "a totally consensual relationship." Judge Jones described the student as a "willing participant" and "somewhat enthusiastic" about his relationship with the defendant. He also noted that the student "engaged in deception" in an effort to have the relationship continue for as long as it did.

Sad to say, but I have to agree with some of the commenters' views...

If the teacher was a guy, and he had this 'consensual' relationship with a female student, he'd be vilified, faced a prison term and labeled a pedo for the remainder of his years, and be affected socially as such.

It's another example of 'equal rights for women, as long as it's convenient in their favour'.

This is not saying anything about whether it is "hot" or anything as such, most male students would jump at the chance to do something like this...but the judge should have applied the law in the same fashion against her, as it would have done against a guy.

SPK you have some good points there, I guess we look at this case and see a young boy who willingly engaged in this activity. At the same time the question always is if the roles were reversed with an older man and teenage girl why is it that society finds this "more" unacceptable.
