Predatory lesbian teacher is confronted by victim in court before being carted off to prison
A predatory teacher who committed years of 'dark and disturbing' sex offenses against a female student at a California high school has been confronted by the victim in court.
Disgraced drama teacher Stacy Michelle Walker, 40, was sentenced to three years in state prison after admitting to sexually abusing the pupil from 2018 until 2020, when the girl was aged 15 to 18.
Walker pleaded guilty last month to sex crimes with a minor while she worked at Mount Carmel High School in San Diego.
The former student, whose identity is protected, gave a heart-wrenching victim impact statement in court alongside her mother - as Walker fixed her gaze on the ground and appeared to fight back tears.
'I know it wasn't my fault. None of this was ever my fault. I was a child, your student, and you were the trusted adult,' the student, now 22, told Walker in court, CBS8 reported. 'You manipulated me so deeply it still runs through my veins.'

The victim went on to describe the horrors Walker inflicted on her, which began when she was just 15.
'I would rush home, run into my room, close the door, and submit to her entirely on signal,' the victim told the court.
'Whatever she asked for - sexually explicit photos and videos in certain poses or positions, the entertainment of her twisted sexual fantasies - degrading me and humiliating me.'
The victim's mother also blasted Walker in court, saying there was 'no sentencing that will ever erase my daughter's pain.'
Addressing Walker, she said: 'How could you take my daughter's hand as a sophomore in high school, and lead her into your adult world of abuse, psychological manipulation and control?
'You took her out of her innocence and carefree existence and offered her entrance into a place so dark and disturbing.'

The victim also described how Walker groomed and manipulated her into believing they were in a loving relationship.
She said Walker would take her to restaurants and shows before starting to bring up sexual subjects in their conversations.
This escalated into requests for sexually explicit photographs and videos via an encrypted messaging system, as well as sex acts.
The former student said she frequently lied to protect Walker and that it took a hefty toll on her mental health.
'She forced me to live a complete double life,' the 22-year-old told the court. 'It exhausted me to the point of no return.'

She added: 'I was forced to contain the vast burden of everything I had experienced to myself in order to protect what I thought was a relationship of true love.
'Now I know it was all just to protect her. My feelings, my wellbeing, my safety, were never a part of the equation.'
The victim, who has been diagnosed with PTSD, said she now suffers from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and feelings of guilt.
As part of her plea deal last month, Walker admitted to taking advantage of a position of trust to commit the offenses. She must register as a sex offender register for life.
