Former teacher Jessica Beraldin was given a six-month conditional sentence with 18 months probation Thursday after she pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a student.
An emotional Beraldin said she was “deeply sorry” when she addressed the court.
“I'm very disappointed in myself and I recognize now I did take advantage of my position,” she told the court.
