In October, Caldwell pleaded no contest to a charge of indecency with child by exposure. The prosecution and defense agreed to 10 years in prison.A longtime elementary school teacher whose repeated sexual encounters with a 12-year-old student came to light following a high-speed chase in which she let the boy drive her SUV was sentenced Tuesday to 10 years in prison.
Lucinda Rodriguez Caldwell, 41, choked back sobs as she was placed in handcuffs after asking state District Judge Lori Valenzuela for probation.
Although the judge denied the request, she did retain jurisdiction of the case, leaving open the possibility that Caldwell could be released from prison on shock probation sometime in the next six months.
If it occurs, I contend that six months and shock probation sends the wrong message to female child sex abusers.
