file4441309024845

The Long Beach police department is investigating a case in which a 52-year old woman has been charged with having an inappropriate sexual relationship with a teen over the span of three years. The suspect, Mary Jahn, has been charged with nine felony counts, including four counts of sexual penetration by foreign object, three counts of lewd act upon a child and two counts of oral copulation of a person under 18.

At the time of the reported crimes, Jahn was a teacher at Lakewood High School. The defendant’s sexual relationship with a 15-year-old female student began in Jul 2008 and reportedly continued through July 2011.

The now adult victim notified authorities about the sexual abuse earlier this year, and upon further investigation, law enforcement arrested Jahn in connection with the alleged crimes. Mary Jahn faces a maximum possible sentence of eight years and four months in state prison and will have to register as a lifetime sex offender.
