A Catholic school teacher in Ohio, Emily Nutley is in legal trouble. Apparently, she got caught having a little fling with one of her teenage students. And now she’s going to spend the next three years behind bars. I mean, talk about a scandal!
I can’t even imagine what was going through her head to think that having relations with a student was a good idea. But hey, lesson learned – hopefully, she’ll use this time in prison to reflect on her actions and come out a changed person.
Emily Nutley previously pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual battery and, this week, was given three years for each count; the sentences will run concurrently, per WCPO. Upon release, she’ll also have to register as a tier 3 sex offender.
She was originally charged with six counts of sexual battery and faced up to 15 years in prison, after an investigation found she had an unlawful sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student from St. Xavier High School, where she worked as a “supervisor of a program to assist students struggling with academics.”
According to the Hamilton County Prosecutor, the teen was assigned to Nutley’s assistance program in Fall 2023, to work on “academic matters.” Prosecutors say that’s when she began to “have additional contact with the victim outside of school hours,” which included “sexually explicit” text messages, nude photos of the teacher, and her requests for nude photos of him in return.
Things allegedly became physical in mid-November 2023, with Nutley accused of “performing oral sex on the victim at least one time on the campus of St. Xavier High School and one additional time while off campus.” She’s also accused of having “sexual intercourse with the victim after hours while in her office at the school.”
Prosecutors claim that “when the victim attempted to stop the encounters, Nutley continued to contact the victim via text messages.”
One of the prosecutors read a statement from the victim during sentencing this week, saying the situation “altered my high school experience and my life.”
“When the abuse started, I didn’t know I was being taken advantage of,” the statement reportedly read. “I really didn’t want to have sex with her, but she insisted.”
“She would not leave me alone. She told me she would kill herself if I ended it. I really didn’t know how to get out of this situation,” he added, before addressing some of the fallout by saying, “Even at sporting events, people yell her name at me.”
Nutley herself also spoke at the sentencing, telling the court there is “no excuse” for her behavior.
“I crossed a line that should never have been crossed. I think every day about the impact of my actions,” she said. “I’ve lost my husband, my home, my friends. I’ve caused harm and embarrassment to my children.”
Let this be a warning to anyone else out there who thinks crossing that line is a good idea – consequences are no joke when it comes to crossing the line.
Flip the pages for Ms. Nutley photos and yes she is MAGA.
