The boy’s mother told the judge how her son was ridiculed by other students and teachers and was forced to leave school and is not the happy son she said he was before the crime.
The judge called it a terrible event, but suspended the five years in prison Deluca could have faced and instead gave her 90 days in the county jail. She will also be on probation for three years and will undergo sex offender treatment and have to comply with sex offender special conditions. The judge did not specifically tell her she must register as a sex offender, but Eyewitness News found in the fine print that it will be a requirement of her probation.
The judge planned for Deluca to go straight to jail, but was persuaded by her attorney to give her until tomorrow at noon, to tell her two young children goodbye, first.
As for the victim’s family, they say they are relieved this situation is finally over.
