@crimeatyourfingertips: A female teacher who admitted to having s3x with her 16-year-old student in the backseat of her car will not be sent to jail. Monique Ooms, 31, of Maffra, was sentenced on March 24 by County Court of Victoria Judge John Smallwood to a 4-year community corrections order, with 300 hours of community work for the crime. That sentence was promptly appealed by Victoria's Office of Public Prosecutions amid claims the judge got it wrong. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court of Victoria Court of Appeal dismissed that appeal, allowing Ooms to walk free yet again & granting her costs be paid. Sitting in the dock with the hand of a supporter on her shoulder, Ooms began to cry as the decision was handed down. The court had heard Ooms had been depressed about being infertile when she decided to bed her victim. But in July, it was revealed she had fallen pregnant the very week she was sentenced in the County Court of Victoria. Ooms had pleaded guilty in Victoria's Latrobe Valley County Court to four counts of s3xual penetrati0n of a child under her supervision & care. Her barrister Jason Gullaci, SC told the Court of Appeal Ooms' pregnancy was the most 'significant factor' of her latest defence. Psychological reports tendered on Ooms pre-sentence hearing claimed the s3x offender had been in a 'fragile mental state around the time of the offending'. Dr Suzanne Williams was of the view that Ooms' low self-esteem & poor sense of self significantly contributed to immature and poor judgment in making decisions about relationships. Ooms had used her own wretched upbringing to convince psychologists she was not responsible for her perverted actions. The court heard she had been rap3d in 2018 and involved in several relationships with men that involved 'a degree of either degradation or abus3'. The judges accepted that because of her childhood difficulties, Ooms had been diagnosed as having a complex post-traumatic stress disorder, diagnosis of bipolar, extreme anxiety & extreme depression. During her initial sentence, the court heard Ooms' young victim who was just a few weeks short of turning 17 had snuck out in the dead of night to have s3x with his then school teacher. The 16-year-old had been grieving the loss of a close friend who di3d in a fatal car crash the week before and was in a 'vulnerable situation emotionally'. The court heard Ooms had preyed upon her student in the weeks after his friend was kill3d. While the pair initially chatted over social media & phone, before long Ooms was texting her student photos of herself in her underwear. In July last year the pair shared their first kiss & discussed all the things that were wrong with what had occurred. The pair had s3x in the back of Ooms' car while parked in a forest at night. The court heard Ooms had s3x with her student at least 4 times over the next few weeks in the backseat of her car before arranging hook-ups at her home. While Ooms initially attempted to deny her antics, she eventually confessed to police. In bringing on the appeal, Crown prosecutor Elizabeth Ruddle, KC argued Ooms should have been jailed due to the fact she used her good character to get a job as a teacher in the first place. She further claimed Judge Smallwood might have acted differently had the accused teacher been male. Ooms had faced a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail. #crimejunkie #crimestories #crimetiktoker #crimetiktoks #crimetiktoks #crime #truecrime #truecrimetiktok #crimetiktok #crimetok #truecrimecommunity #truecrimetok #truecrimetiktoker
