Jacqueline Ma, once recognized as San Diego County's Teacher of the Year, is heading to prison for 30 years following her conviction for grooming and sexually abusing two young students. The 36-year-old educator was arrested in April 2023 and had previously pleaded guilty in February to serious charges, including forcible lewd acts on a child. During her sentencing, Ma expressed deep remorse and acknowledged how her actions affected the victims' childhoods. The case gained attention when a mother reported Ma to authorities after discovering inappropriate correspondence with her son, leading to a thorough investigation.
At her sentencing Friday, Ma said she was "deeply ashamed of my actions," and apologized for ripping" away their childhood."
Jacqueline Ma had been facing over 100 years in prison, but was ultimately sentenced to 30 years after pleading guilty to multiple charges.
