It began at a church summer camp (!) and ended when fellow school employees spotted naked photos of the 16-year-old on the aide's cell phone.
Melody Ybona Gawliu was a 24-year-old teacher's aide at El Camino High School in South San Francisco when she began having oral sex with an underage female student. Perhaps no one would've ever found out this was going on if Gawliu hadn't made three key, boneheaded mistakes...
First, she showed up at school with a massive amount of balloons for the girl's 17th birthday, which apparently first aroused the suspicions of fellow teachers and teacher's aides.
Next, she saved those nude photos of the jailbait girl on her phone, which snooping teachers later discovered.
And finally, she made the classic mistake of putting the relationship in writing, by texting the girl and telling her to keep quiet about it. Stupid!
Gawliu was initially charged with two counts of digital penetration
with a person under age 18, attempting to dissuade a witness and
felonious possession of sexual images of a person under age 18.
Digital penetration? Does this mean if we have virtual reality sex with Alicia Silverstone we're committing a crime?
Anyway, Gawliu does not have to register as a sex offender under her plea deal, which also limits her prison term to less than a year.
