Teacher Pleads Guilty to Teen Abuse

0:00You're listening to Sydney News today, powered by the Daily News Now. A former Sydney schoolteacher has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing two teenage male students. 32-year-old Taylor Lee Braley admitted to four serious charges in court this week, including sexual intercourse with a 16-year-old under. Her special care, sexual touching of a 17-year-old, and two counts of using an online service to handle child abuse material. She faced arrests twice last year, first in August over incidents with a 17-year-old student, then just weeks later at her woolen-gong home. For offenses against the 16-year-old, Braley has been on strict, conditional bail ever since, with the case bouncing between courts and hit by several delays. In Campbelltown Local Court, the magistrate dropped three other charges against her, paving the way for sentencing. Braley calmly entered her guilty pleas as the charges were read out, while her lawyer noted some facts, and the case are still disputed. The court heard details from last July, when the abuse took place across different New South Wales suburbs.

Braley left the hearing with her parents, and the focus now turns to what penalty she'll face. We'd like to thank our sponsor for making this episode possible. Some chased peace. I put my head in it.
