A former high school softball coach accused of having a sexual relationship with a student pleaded guilty last week to multiple sex-related offenses.
31-year-old Ashley Rison reportedly had sex with a 17-year-old student eight times, including in the back of a car, and that included her also begging him not to report what she was doing to him.
The former New Miami softball coach could spend five years in jail and might have to register as a sex offender, according to Fox 19.

“In addition to what the child tells us, we do have recordings between Ms. Rison and the child of where Ms. Rison makes multiple incriminating statements in asking, begging the child not to report her to the authorities,” Assistant Prosecutor Lindsay Sheehan said in previous court hearings.
