Married teacher who s£xually ass@ulted two students and got pregnant gets 10 years in prison

 A married English teacher in New Jersey has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for sxually assaulting two of her students and becoming pregnant by one of them. Julie Rizzitello, 37, pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree sxual ass@ult last year after engaging in ‘various sxual acts’ with two of her students for months at a time. She met her first victim while he was a freshman at Wall Township High School. Rizzitello had sex with him multiple times between 2017 and 2018. On one occasion, Rizzitello allegedly encouraged the teen to have unprotected sx with her on his birthday.She got pregnant and had an abortion, telling the student about the timeline, reported Jersey Shore Online. Monmouth County Judge Jill Grace held nothing back during Rizzitello’s hearing, accusing the disgraced teacher of ‘grooming’ her students. ‘Not only does he have to deal with the fact that he’s gro0med throughout his entire high school years, that he was preyed upon by his teacher, whom he loved and trusted that he was sxually abused by this teacher,’ she said. ‘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.’ Rizzitello reportedly invited the freshman into her classroom during lunch, engaged in conversation and even told him she had a dream about having sx with him. At the sentencing, O’Malley read the boy’s statement. ‘No kid should have the feeling of sickening anxiety and panic attacks while just trying to get through school,’ he wrote. He reportedly dropped out of college in the fallout of the case.Rizzitello allegedly had ‘vaginal and oral sx’ with each of them across three cities, at her home, in her car and even at the shop during operating hours. ‘The defendant knew because of her position as a teacher, that these victims were particularly vulnerable,’ O’Malley said. ‘She preyed on them in a safe place. She isolated them.’ Rizzitello was arrested in 2024, just days after resigning from her teaching position. She reportedly contacted both victims afterward, asking them to scrub evidence from their phones. Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago addressed Wednesday’s sentencing in a statement. ‘These crimes were not isolated incidents constituting moments of poor judgment; they were textbook cases of grooming, involving a defendant who repeatedly leveraged tactics of isolation, manipulation, and control for the sake of her own selfish purposes,’ he said. ‘The egregious nature of the conduct was further compounded by the plain fact that the emotional and psychological harm she inflicted came at the expense of two of the very same young minds she had been entrusted to develop and nurture.’Rizzitello will serve two ten-year sentences concurrently. She will be subject to parole for life and must register as a sx offender. ‘This is grooming,’ O’Malley said. ‘It is traditional grooming that I see every week here in this courthouse. This is the behavior of a standard sxual predator. You’re no different.’The post Married teacher who sxually ass@ulted two students and got pregnant gets 10 years in prison appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
