   A teacher who admitted to having sex with one of her students in   
   public areas, as as well smoking cannabis with him, has been   
   jailed for more than four years.   
      
   Sonia Mackay, 43, of Adelaide, Australia, pleaded guilty to the   
   persistent sexual exploitation of a 17-year-old boy after   
   starting a relationship with him at the prestigious Christian   
   Brothers College High School in 2016.   
      
   Mackay admitted she groomed the teenager before having sex with   
   him multiple times over the course of a month, including at her   
   house, at his family's home, in an elevator and in a public car   
   park, reports ABC Local.   
      
   The teacher was also found to have sent the student sexually   
   explicit images of herself and plied him with cigarettes and   
   alcohol, as well as smoking cannabis with him.   
      
   In a victim statement read out in court in November, the boy   
   said Mackay also stubbed a cigarette out on his flesh and that   
   the relationship caused him to withdraw from friends and family,   
   reports 9 News.   
      
   During sentencing submissions last month, Mackay apologized for   
   her actions while asking for a suspended sentence.   
      
   "I know I abused the victim's caring nature at a time he needed   
   support. I made a really big mistake. If only I could turn back   
   time," she said.   
      
   Upon sentencing, Judge Liesl Chapman told the 43-year-old that   
   her behavior was “manipulative and unforgivable,” reports ABC   
   Local.   
      
   The judge told Mackay that she had “lost touch with reality” and   
   appeared to be living in “some sort of fantasy land” following   
   the breakdown of her marriage, prompting her to start the   
   relationship with the boy.   
      
   “In light of what you were doing and the way you were doing it,   
   it is evident to me that you could not have been thinking   
   straight,” Chapman added, reports news.com.au.   
      
   "The victim's mother said she does not pity you because you are   
   a grown woman, a teacher, a mother and a wife who she says   
   manipulated her son's emotions to meet your own selfish needs.   
      
   "Your behavior causes a feeling of outrage, quite rightly, in   
   the community.   
      
   "You breached the trust of him as a teacher, you breached the   
   trust of his parents and sibling," Chapman added. "You breached   
   the trust of your employer, you breached the trust of the school   
   community."   
      
   Mackay was sentenced to for four years and five months in jail   
   and will not be eligible for parole until 2021.
