A Catholic high school teacher faces 15 years in prison for allegedly having sex with her teenage student in her office.

Emily Nutley, 42, a married mother of three, was charged with six counts of sexual assault and fired from St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati.

Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Powers said Nutley met the 17-year-old when he was sent to a program she runs for students with academic difficulties.

They began texting after school last fall and she allegedly sent him nude selfies and “sexually explicit messages.”

Powers claimed their relationship escalated and had sex several times in mid-November, at least once after hours in her office at the all-boys school.

Nutley allegedly continued to text the student after he tried to break off the illicit affair.

The school discovered the alleged relationship, conducted an internal investigation and then notified Springfield Township police.

Nutley was fired as soon as the criminal investigation began, which led to her being indicted by a Hamilton County grand jury and arrested Monday.

She joined the Jesuit school prior to the 2021-22 year and was listed in the student handbook as the “Multi-Tier System Support Coordinator.”

The disgraced educator has two daughters and a son, the eldest of whom is a student at another high school and only slightly younger than the victim.

She previously taught at Madeira Elementary School, also in Cincinnati, and posted photos of her work and her students there on social media.

“The children who need love the most will ask for it in the most unloving ways.” “Be THAT person for THAT student,” one post said.

Another post read: “HELLO! Third graders! “See someone alone, reach out and help them, say hello.”

Nutley’s mother, Cheryl Rose, praised her daughter in a birthday post just months before she began her alleged relationship with the student.

“Emily, my sweet, lovely, fun-loving girl.” I love you so much, darling. “So proud of everything you are,” she began.

“A good daughter, a great wife and loving mother, and a wonderful advocate for all of her students.”

Nutley worked with young children at her previous school but switched to teenagers at St. Xavier

Nutley will be in court on November 8th.

“This is absolutely unacceptable and reprehensible behavior by an adult toward a minor child,” Powers said.

“This child needed help and guidance, but instead found an adult who wanted to live out his perverted sexual desires.”

Powers said Nutley’s alleged conduct was nothing short of “child sexual abuse” and would be prosecuted “fully and thoroughly.”

“This child was the victim of an adult predator who should never again play a role that brings him into contact with children,” she said.

“She used this child for her own sexual gratification while also taking advantage of the position she held.”
