Jennifer Jacobi, 35, of Greenville, Indiana, a former substitute teacher for the New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated Schools has been sentenced to 76 years in prison, with 10 years suspended, on child-molesting charges and still faces sentencing on federal child pornography charges.
Jacobi did substitute teaching at Galena and Mt. Tabor elementary schools, Highland Hills Middle School and New Albany High School.
In pleading guilty to counts of child molesting and conspiracy to commit child molesting Jacobi admitted that she molested a girl twice during a two-year period starting in 2004, when the victim was 8-years-old.
As a result of the plea deal 13 counts of child exploitation were dismissed.
In addition to molesting the child, Jacobi also made arrangements by computer for Richard D. Prado, of Brownville, Maine, to molest the girl. Prado killed himself while in a Maine jail as he was being investigated there.
The 10 federal counts of producing child pornography and one count of possessing child pornography involved children under age 12.
Jacobi has a plea deal with federal prosecutors under which she will plead guilty to two counts of producing child pornography and Assistant U.S. Attorney Gayle Helart will recommend a 35-year prison term that would run concurrent with Jacobi’s state sentence. The federal plea deal must receive a judge’s approval before taking effect.
11/10/07 - Guilty Plea Accepted
U.S. District Judge John D. Tinder accepted Jacobi’s guilty plea in court Thursday and set a sentencing date for December 20. According to Jacobi’s attorney if the judge accepts the 35 year concurrent sentence contained in the plea deal it will give Jacobi the possibility of getting out of prison before she dies.
12/26/07 - Sentencing
On December 20th U.S. District Judge John Daniel Tinder accepted the plea deal arrangement regarding sentencing and formally sentenced Jacobi to 35 years in the federal prison. With “good time”, Jacobi might be eligible for parole in 30 years.
