A former Apache Junction High School girls basketball and softball coach was sentenced Tuesday in Pinal County Superior Court to 20 years supervised probation in connection with having an inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old girl.
Raenna Jewell, 25, of Gilbert had pleaded guilty to one felony count each of sexual conduct with a minor and furnishing unlawful materials to a minor, according to information from Kostas Kalaitzidis, spokesman for the Pinal County Attorney's Office.
Jewell worked at Apache Junction High School from Sept. 19, 2008 through March 20, 2009.
A plea agreement allows her probation to end after 10 years if she abides by all the court's requirements. A 93-day jail sentence also was suspended on the condition that she completes court-ordered rehabilitation programs by the end of the year, according to Kalaitzidis.
Jewell also no longer will be able to work in schools around minors and no longer can work as a volunteer or coach where minors are involved, Kalaitzidis said.
