<p>A California teacher, who had previously been labeled &#8220;Teacher of the Year&#8221; in San Diego County, sobbed in court as she admitted to sexually abusing two students, ages 11 and 12.</p>
<p>Jacqueline Ma, who formerly taught at Lincoln Acres Elementary School in National City, was arrested in spring 2023 after the mother of a 12-year-old boy alerted authorities about Ma’s explicit texts to her son.</p>
<p>She had initially faced up to 180 years in prison for her crimes but entered a plea agreement for lesser charges, a likely 30-year-to-life sentence.</p>
<p>Per the New York Post, Deputy District Attorney Drew Heart <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/02/07/us-news/teacher-of-the-year-jacqueline-ma-sobs-as-admits-abusing-students-ages-11-and-12/">said</a>, “This was very significant to us, not just because she won an award, but because of who she was in the community.”</p>
<p>Ma pleaded guilty to possessing illicit material of a minor, which authorities said resulted from her sending X-rated images to the students and urging them to reciprocate. Prosecutors noted that Ma repeatedly pressured the minors to send explicit photos of themselves, prompting the 12-year-old to state, “Sometimes I think you don’t understand that I am a kid still.”</p>
<p>Superior Court Judge Maryann D’Addezio presided over the preliminary hearing in 2023 and later described the evidence as “overwhelmingly clear that the defendant took advantage of two children.”</p>
<p>Prosecutors said one instance involved Ma removing her shirt in a private meeting with the 12-year-old victim inside a classroom. After her arrest, law enforcement also discovered a photograph of one of the boys in her wallet.</p>

<p>“We think this plea deal sends a message to the community, not just about sex offenses on children, but when you leverage a position of trust, when you leverage good faith with parents in the community and you do this to their children, there will be significant penalties to pay,” Heart said.</p>
<p>Ma’s sentencing is set for May 9.</p>
