Former Teacher of the Year Sentenced for Sexually Abusing Student

Jaqueline Ma taught elementary school. In 2022, she won San Diego County's Teacher of the Year title, but less than a year later, Ma was arrested for sexually abusing a 12-year-old in her classroom. His parents thought the boy was at an after-school basketball program. Prosecutors say she also preyed on an 11-year-old. At her sentencing, Ma stood in shackles and read her apology. San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan spoke with Inside Edition.
