Alicia Gray, 28, was sentenced to six months in prison on Friday and forced to surrender her teaching certificate, AL.com reports. She will also need to register as a sex offender. In a clip produced by Mrs Gray's church, Deeper Life Fellowship, the former teacher apologises to the boy and says her faith has helped her reform herself. "I realise I hurt many people, and I also realise the implications of what I've done, and the possible difficulties that have been caused to people who have been hurt," Mrs Gray says. "I apologise for what I've done," she says. The person I was a year ago is gone. Mrs Gray's relationship with the 14-year-old reportedly started on Facebook last year. She sent the teen nude photos of herself, and it eventually progressed to the point of sexual contact, The NY Daily News reports. Mrs Gray hugs her pastor. "This situation should have never, ever happened," she says in the clip. I'm ready for the consequences that should befall me. Mrs Gray's school district placed her on administrative leave when the allegations of sexual misconduct arose last year. She later resigned, and walked hand in hand with her husband as she turned herself in to the authorities. "I confess my sin and ask forgiveness from each person involved," she says. It should never have happened to you, but God still makes beauty from ashes. In addition to her six months in jail, Ms Gray will spend five years on probation.
