"A former Grade 8 teacher in Ontario who pleaded guilty to sex crimes, after persuading students to exchange explicit selfies with her, has been sentenced to four years in prison. Kelly-Anne Jennings, 41, stood in a Kawartha Lakes, Ont., courtroom Thursday as a judge delivered the sentence. "The impact of having a child perform sexual acts on camera for the gratification of an adult is severe," Ontario Court Justice Nathan N. Baker said."
"Jennings pleaded guilty earlier this month to six charges involving three boys, including child luring, invitation to sexual touching and making child sexual abuse and exploitation material referred to as child pornography in the Criminal Code until recently. Additional charges, including sexual assault and sexual interference involving a fourth complainant, were stayed at the Crown's request. Police are seen outside the Peterborough, Ont., home listed as Kelly-Anne Jennings's address on Sept. 4, 2024, in a video shared with CBC News."
