A former Titusville Area School District physical education teacher accused of statutory sexual assault of a 14-year-old boy in 2018 and 2019 was sentenced Tuesday in Crawford County.
Rochelle Lee Cressman, 34, was sentenced before Judge Mark D. Stevens to 10 years in state prison followed by 10 years of probation for three counts of statutory sexual assault.
Cressman was also ordered to register as a sex offender for the rest of her life.
Corry state police had said the assaults on the boy occurred at multiple locations, including private residences in Oil Creek Township and Titusville.
Police said the investigation into the allegations against Cressman began after the boy’s mother had been advised by the boy of the nature of his relationship with Cressman.
Upon further investigation and interviews, police said they learned Cressman and the boy had been in an intimate relationship that began in September 2018 and ended in April 2019.
Police said the boy told them he had sexual relations with Cressman at least 10 times and that he had multiple other sexual encounters with her.
Cressman had taught at Titusville Middle School.
