Jennifer Diane Mally, a 26-year-old Paradise Valley High School English teacher and cheerleader coach, has been busted in Maricopa County, Arizona and is facing numerous counts of sexual conduct with a minor.
Mally is accused of having sex with a 16-year-old male student and indications are that the sexual relationship may have been ongoing since October 2006.
The alleged sexual relationship came to attention of authorities when the parents of the alleged victim contacted the school with their concerns and school officials notified police.
Mally was arrested at the school’s administrative offices and immediately placed on administrative leave.
5/18/07 – Jennifer Mally Charged
Jennifer Mally has been officially charged with 17 counts of sexual conduct with a minor, for having sex with a 16-year-old boy.
Mally has hired former U.S. Attorney for Arizona Mel McDonald and will plead not guilty at her arraignment on Monday morning.
Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas in announcing the indictments stated that Mally persistently engaged a 16-year-old male student in sexual misconduct at various locations, including his home and her home over a seven-month period.
Additionally, Thomas indicated that three of the counts allege that Mally had sex with the boy in her Nissan Xterra on the day it was purchased.
5/21/07 – Jennifer Mally Arraigned
Jennifer Mally entered a not guilty plea earlier today to charges involving a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student.
Mally, who remains free on $18,000 bond was as ordered to appear back in court on July 12 at 8:15 a.m. She is also required to wear an electronic monitoring device, remain at home under house arrest and to have no contact with the victim or anyone under the age of 18.
5/28/07 – Another Boy?
Shortly after Jennifer Mally was arrested for sex with a 16-year-old student, another student spoke with police, an 18 year old saying he too had sex with Mally, twice.
According to police reports the 18 year old indicated:
he tried to talk to Mally about “girlfriend problems,” but she “got upset” and told him it was socially unacceptable to talk to a teacher about that.
Then, he said, a couple of months later he was at her place when her husband was out of town and they had sex twice.
Police indicate that if the second boy and Mally had sex and he was 18 at the time, she would not face additional criminal charges.
6/08/08 – Secret Tapes
Jennifer Mally facing numerous sex related charges for an affair with a 16-year-old male student saw her fortunes take a turn for the worse as the Phoenix Police Department releases tapes secretly recorded of Mally and the victim discussing intimate details of their relationship.
The audio tapes, secretly recorded with the victims cooperation and allegedly containing Mally’s voice, included the following exchanges:
Woman: What did they want to know?
Boy: If we had sexual relations.
Woman: What do you say?
Boy: I said no.
Boy: We had sex a lot. We should not have gone further.
Woman: You’re 16, (his name), if they find out, I’m going to f***ing jail.
Woman: All you need to do is tell your parents this is all crazy and that it’s done.
Boy: You want me to lie to my parents?
Along with two audio tapes, a videotaped interview with Mally was also released. In that interview, Mally confessed to nothing. When detectives left the room, she called her husband. It seemed evident she didn’t realize the conversation was being taped.
“I know what I’m doing,” she says, “I watch CSI.”

To start off, I had her this year and her love buddy in my class
I wasn’t shocked at all. They’d flirt and text message eachother all day. We ALL knew they did what they did. Im glad someone told. She favorited students. There was one night she came to taco bell drunk off her ass to pick up one of my friends lol. I think the team mally shirts were SO DUMB! Cheerleaders are air headed thats why they stuck up for a sex offender. She wasn’t a good teacher anyways!

Her laywer said that she feels remorse. Yeah artifical remorse. When they get caught, they almost always feel remorse. She needs to go jail for 2 yrs. I think the being on probabtion for life is good enough to suspend the rest of her sentence. I hope that 16 yr old was worth all the pain and trouble you have caused everyone including yourself.
