MURRIETA, Calif. -- A female high school English teacher who had sex with an underage girl at her school was sentenced Thursday to three years probation.

Crissy Torcella Hisey, 28, must also serve 118 days in the county jail, to be served on weekends, according to court records.

But Hisey will not have to register as a sex offender, said Ryan Hightower of the Riverside County District Attorney's Office. 

Hisey pleaded guilty in August to 10 counts of oral copulation with a child under 18.

As part of a plea agreement, Riverside County Superior Court Judge John Monterosso dismissed a charge of distribution or exhibition of lewd material to a minor.

Hisey was arrested in May, after Murrieta police were told Hisey was having sex with a minor at Vista Murrieta High School, where she taught, said Murrieta police Sgt. Jim Ganley.

The teacher and the student both admitted to having an ongoing sexual relationship, Ganley said at the time of the arrest.

  • my two cents worth Friday, Nov 14 at 10:14 AM FLAG COMMENT I agree with all of the above. What the heck? Just because she's a woman, she doesn't have to register? Its actually a little weird, given the recent passage of Prop 8, one would think the courts would be more inclined to "bring down the hammer" on a gay relationship giving the recent "support" of California voters' homophobia. For the record, I'm female & hetrosexual and think prop 8's defeat was a sad commentary of t ... MORE >
  • Enough Already Friday, Nov 14 at 6:03 AM FLAG COMMENT If the girl was Judge John Monterosso's or Ryan Hightower's daughter I bet she'd have to go to prison and register as a sex offender. Too bad this Court, this Judge and the D.A.'s office won't protect children. Now female child molesters will think they can go to Riverside Co. and get away with hurting children. When men do this they get prison time.... selective prosecution.
  • Jay Friday, Nov 14 at 3:47 AM FLAG COMMENT Thank you Riverside County! You just showed the world you are a bunch of MORONS. See how the media romanticizes these female idiots - oh poor little girl! Oh, there, there. You poor thing. Let's throw her a freakin' parade! Check out http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14499056/ for the story on Debra Lafave. That lenient sentence would never happen to a guy. He'd be under the jail. I hope an advocate group pickets Riversid ...
