Coach Gets Prison for Sex/Drug Crimes - Updated

(Monterey, California) Earlier today, former Bobby Sox League softball coach Eraelia Glisson, 35, was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison for having sex with a minor and possession of child pornography and drugs.

Glisson was also ordered to register as a sex offender for life.

To summarize, her offenses were exposed during an investigation of a domestic dispute.

Glisson was arrested in November by the Greenfield Police Department, who responded to a verbal domestic dispute call. During the investigation, the District Attorney's Office said, officers found that Glisson was having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old boy.

They said officers found that the domestic dispute was over a videotape her husband found that depicted one of the sexual encounters she had with the boy.

The District Attorney's Office said Glisson was also found in possession of methamphetamine and ecstasy.

Therefore, Glisson assisted the investigators by documenting her sex crime on video. It's not known whether Glisson's marriage will survive the infidelity and incarceration.

(Monterey, California) Former Bobby Sox League softball coach Eraelia Glisson, 35, pleaded no contest yesterday to charges of unlawful intercourse with a minor, possession of child pornography, and possession of a controlled substance.

The conviction carries a possible sentence of four years and four months in prison and registration as a sex offender.

Glisson's no contest plea means that she did not admit guilt, but offered no defense. The plea carries the same punishment as if she pleaded guilty or was convicted.

No details about the sex crime or child pornography charge were discussed in court Wednesday.

The controlled substance in her possession was MDMA, better known by the street name Ecstasy, a psychoactive amphetamine drug.

Sentencing is scheduled for March 3 before Superior Court Judge Terrence Duncan.
