Sarah Jones, one-time captain of the Cincinnati Ben-Gals cheerleading squad and a former high school teacher in Kenton County, Ky., will accept a plea deal on charges she had sex with an underage student, according to the latest updates.
Her mother Cheryl Jones, a school principal, is also expected to accept a plea deal tomorrow after she was charged over tampering with evidence in her daughter's case. Jones had taught at Dixie Heights High School in Kentucky before resigning last November.
She was indicted in March. Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Sara Farmer of Louisville, who is prosecuting the case, couldn’t be reached Sunday for comment. The women's lawyer Eric Deters told WCPO that both of his clients would accept a deal but refused to give further details.
Judge Patricia Summe said she will decide another day on Jones’ motion to ban the text messages, which Deters said “are embarrassing” to his client.
Jones said in July during her appearance in Good Morning America, "People don't know the real me. There's blogs and postings out there that I have slept with numerous people. I married my high school sweetheart. I just asked the general public to maybe hold their judgment a little bit longer until the truth comes out."
The case was scheduled to go to trial Wednesday. The indictment states the alleged sexual relationship with the high school student took place between October 1 and December 31. She also grabbed headlines in 2009 when photographs and postings uploaded on TheDirty.com branded her a 'slut' with 'two STDs'.
