(San Mateo, California) Former Red Cloud Elementary School teacher Rebecca Ann Boicelli's lengthy and circuitous journey through the criminal justice system seems to be over. Yesterday, as part of an agreement for her no contest plea, she was sentenced to two years in state prison. According to the agreement, several charges were dropped and she was only convicted of one count of committing a lewd act upon a child at least 10 years younger than herself.
Rebecca Ann Boicelli
Convicted child sex offender
To refresh the memory, Boicelli was investigated for a long period of time due to suspicions by fellow teachers and students about her relationship with the boy, starting when he was her 14-year-old student. Apparently, she was tickling his elmo for at least two years before she got pregnant. Although there were suspicions, authorities had no hard evidence until she bore the child. Paternity testing then confirmed that the boy was the father and Boicelli was arrested.
When she is released from prison, the court specified that she will have to register as a sex offender for life. With credit for time served, she will be on the street in about seven or eight months.
By the way, the child they had is being raised by the boy's parents. I'm sure they're thrilled.
