"Nicholas Moseby, 44, was convicted last October of committing a lewd act on a child and sending harmful material to a child, both felonies, along with misdemeanor counts of annoying or molesting a minor and sexual battery of a girl. He maintained throughout his trial that he was the victim of a student-led smear campaign after an innocent mistake, where he sent a picture of his genitals to a student while intending to send it to an online sex worker."
"Judge Joni Hiramoto handed down the sentence, rejecting a recommendation by the county probation department to forego jail altogether. Moseby worked as a biology teacher at San Ramon Valley High School and a cheerleading coach at Nor*Cal Elites at the time of the crimes. He had also worked as a middle school teacher in Danville. He was charged in 2022, and spent about months behind bars, which will count toward his prison sentence. Moseby can reduce the sentence by half with good behavior, authorities said."
Nicholas Moseby received the maximum sentence of three years and eight months in prison after convictions for a lewd act on a child and sending harmful material to a child, along with misdemeanor counts including sexual battery and annoying or molesting a minor. He asserted that he was the victim of a student-led smear campaign after mistakenly sending a genital photo intended for an online sex worker to a student. A judge rejected the probation department’s recommendation to avoid jail. Moseby worked as a high school biology teacher and cheer coach and had prior legal problems, including a 2015 prostitution arrest and earlier alcohol-related offenses. Time already spent in custody will count toward the sentence, and he may reduce the term with good behavior.
