An Ottawa teacher who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a student was handed a six-month conditional sentence with 18 months probation Thursday. In 2016, Jessica Beraldin was charged with sexual assault, sexual exploitation and making sexually explicit material available to a child. She pleaded guilty last year to the sexual assault charge. During the investigation police said the assault happened while Beraldin was employed by the Ottawa Catholic School Board. Along with the conditional sentencing and probation released Thursday, Beraldin will be on the sexual offender registry for 10 years and must submit her DNA to authorities.
