    San Diego 6: Teacher Who Had Sex With Student is Pregnant (Feb 6 2013)

    A high school special-education teacher who admitted having sex with one of her 17-year-old former students is pregnant with his child.
    Kelly McKenzy Watson, 34, was sentenced to three years of probation and time in county jail Wednesday for having a sexual relationship with the former student. They judge allowed Watson to be released from jail early, in April, because she is due to give birth later that month. She will not be required to serve additional jail time if she successfully completes probation. The 34-year-old was visibly emotional during Wednesday's sentencing hearing. The 17-year-old boy was also present, and prosecutors noted he too was crying when Watson was sentenced. Watson will not have to register as a sex offender. A psychological evaluation suggested she was not a deviant, and had a low risk of re-offending.

    New York Daily News: Calif. special ed teacher gets a year in jail for sex with underage student (Feb 7 2013)

    A California special education teacher arrested in August for having sex with a former student claims to be pregnant with the student’s child.
    As a result, Kelly McKenzy Watson, who was sentenced this week to a year in jail for charges stemming from the illicit relationship, may get out of prison early so she can deliver the baby ... The unborn child’s father, who turns 18 in April, says he is in love with Watson, his attorneys claim, and may be granted permission to be present for the child’s birth, despite a no-contact order put in place by the judge, according to KGTV. Watson, who is due April 5, met the boy while teaching "emotionally disturbed" teens at New Haven Youth and Family Services, a residential school for troubled and at-risk teenagers in Vista, Calif., between September 2010 and August 2011.

    Union Tribune: Pregnant teacher says sex with teen ‘just happened’ (Feb 9 2013)

    In a letter to the court, Kelly McKenzy Watson, 35, wrote that the boy had a falling out with his parents and she allowed him to stay with her temporarily in downtown San Diego. But what started as a friendship soon turned into something more. “We both realized at some point this past summer that we both really liked and cared for each other,” Watson wrote in the letter before her Superior Court sentencing. “At some point I realized that he was still only 17 yrs old. But it was too late, our feelings were very strong by then.” ... Watson told the court she knew it was wrong to have a physical relationship with the teen, but they loved each other and it “just happened.” “I hate to admit this but we would most likely be together at this time if it weren’t for the age issue,” she wrote.
