As part of Emerick's plea, the state agrees not to file any additional charges against her in the case. The judge also allowed her stay out of jail on a conditional bond, which means Emerick is free as long as she cooperates with the investigation and has no contact with the minor involved.
The judge also labeled Emerick a sexual offender, which means she will have to register her address for the next 10 years. Her next court appearance is scheduled for April.
According to Emerick's attorney, she will also voluntarily forfeit her teaching certificate.
