The 43-year-old was fired from the school last October when the abuse came to light, which led to her arrest and indictment.
She addressed the crimes while at Hamilton County Common Pleas Court on Tuesday.
The mother-of-three said: “There is no excuse for what I did.
“I crossed a line that should never have been crossed.
“I think every day about the impact of my actions.
“I’ve lost my husband, my home, my friends. I’ve caused harm and embarrassment to my children.”
Nutley further told Judge Jennifer Branch she is now “engaging with professionals who will help me understand [my] choices”.
She previously claimed that her husband’s “neglect” drove her to the horrifying abuse.
“I am not asking for forgiveness because I have not earned it,” she added.
The abusive sexual encounters are reported to have taken place between November to December 2023, the MailOnline has reported.
Nutley’s husband filed for divorce following her arrest.
The judge sentenced her to three years behind bars, adding that she was hoping to hear more of an apology.
“I was looking for you to say that you acknowledge the harm that you caused this young man,” the judge said.
“You pretty much ruined the rest of his high school career.
“I didn’t see it. I didn’t hear it.”
The teen also reflected on the abuse in a letter read out in court.
He said it had “altered my high school experience and my life”.
“When the abuse started, I didn’t know I was being taken advantage of,” the teen added.
“She told me she would kill herself if I ended it.
“Even at sporting events, people yell her name at me.”
He further said it had “left me confused, lacking self worth and depressed”.
“I can’t get away from this. I have a hard time trusting people, especially authority figures.”

Dropping back to the second tier of English football will put some serious financial strain on the club.
And to cut costs, they have released 12 players – including former Liverpool star and England international Adam Lallana.
Youngsters Derrick Abu, Josh Lett, Josh McNamara and Lewis Payne have all been released from their respective contracts at St Mary’s.
Scholars James Martin, Tevin Myers, Alfie Prescott, Ben Sheaf and Harry Upstell have also been moved on.
Lallana, 37, isn’t the only big name to depart the Saints this month.
Kyle Walker-Peters and Joe Lumley are also set to leave the club following the expiration of their respective contracts.
Lallana, however, could still be at St Mary’s come the start of the Championship season in August.
The midfielder has been linked with a coaching role under new gaffer Will Still.

Still, 32, inked a three-year deal with Saints last month to succeed Ivan Juric, who left the club after confirmation of their return to the Championship.
Still is relishing the challenge on his hands, saying: “There is huge potential here and we have a great opportunity to do something special.
“The project that has been laid out to me is very impressive and, all together, I believe we can build a clear identity and a very positive future for the team.
“I’m eager to get to work this summer and start building a close-knit group that can make everyone proud and ultimately get us back to where we belong; in the Premier League.”

GRETA Thunberg claims she didn’t now her “Freedom Flotilla” crewmates had shown support for Hamas and Hezbollah.
The 22-year-old activist told Swedish media she hadn’t “heard about it or what this person has said”.

Upon being asked why she didn’t know about the views of the people she was on the boat with, she said: “Because I haven’t had a phone.”
Greta was also challenged in questions from reporters on why she hadn’t looked into the issue before setting off on the ship bound to Gaza.
She responded: “Should I ask exactly everyone what exactly they have said about everything?
The vessel’s controversial crew includes figures who have openly supported terrorist organizations and have made inflammatory public statements.
Brazilian activist Thiago Avila attended the funeral of slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, calling the terrorist a “beloved” leader and a “martyr”.
Avila said he was “very honoured” and “very happy” to attend, and described the funeral as something that “amazed him”.
He wrote that Nasrallah was an “important figure” who “inspired people all over the world”.
Also on board was Yasemin Acar from Berlin, who reportedly danced as Iranian rockets rained down on Israel and once told a white woman at a protest: “You’re a white person, you shouldn’t tell us what to do.”

French journalist Omar Faiad, of Al-Jazeera, sparked outrage for comparing the IDF to Nazis.
On X, he wrote: “The Israeli army resembles the Nazi army,” and claimed: “Israel is committing a new Holocaust in Gaza.”
Rima Hassan, meanwhile, previously tweeted: “Kfir, Ariel, and Shiri Bibas were killed by an Israeli attack,” despite Hamas being responsible for their abduction and deaths.
She was also seen at a protest where demonstrators chanted: “We die for jihad.”
Greta was taken to dry land on Monday after Israeli authorities seized the yacht.
Adalah, a legal rights group in Israel representing those on board, said Thunberg and two other activists and a journalist hadagreed to be deported and leave Israel.
Other activists refused deportation, were being held in detention, and their case was set to be heard by Israeli authorities.
Israel accused the group who were aboard the boat of supporting Hamas terrorists who detonated Middle East mayhem by massacring 1,200 and kidnapping 251 hostages.

The activists said they were protesting the ongoing war and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
But Israel says such ships violate its naval blockade of Gaza.
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said that he had instructed the Israeli Defence Forces to screen footage of the 7 October attacks for the activists as soon as they arrive.
The disturbing footage – titled “Bearing Witness” – shows innocent people being massacred and mutilated.
And all the footage was taken from the Hamas terrorists’ body cams as they filmed their massacre.
But Greta and the other activists refused to watch the clips as soon as they were told about it, Katz told reporters.
The boat was carrying a “tiny amount of aid” on board – which will be sent to Gaza, officials said.
Hamas branded the interception of the yacht as a “crime of piracy”.
The group said in a statement that activists were on a “humanitarian mission aimed at breaking the siege on the Gaza Strip and exposing the crime of mass starvation.”
The flotilla’s latest voyage follows a failed attempt in May, when another of its vessels was struck by two drones in international waters off Malta.
The group accused Israel of being behind the attack.
Despite the risks, activists aboard the Madleen attempted to enter Gaza’s territorial waters on Sunday.
5 days agoNew York StateComments Off on Inside the rumoured Liverpool-Manchester rail link plan

Train journeys between Liverpool and Manchester could soon be half as quick if the rumoured rail link goes ahead.
The quicker rail link has been on the wishlist of the Greater Manchester and Liverpool mayors after the HS2’s northern leg was axed.
The multi-billion pound rail link, which would cut journey times between the cities by 20 minutes, could become a reality if it receives government funding in the Chancellor Rachel Reeves’ £113 billion spending review today.
Journeys between the cities usually take between 45 and 55 minutes, with multiple stops in between.
The government is expected to announce funding for the project today, a source told Metro.

Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham said the Victorian rail infrastructure is ‘now acting as a brake on growth,’ while Steve Rotheram, the Liverpool City mayor, argued that the faster link is ‘something that the people in the North quite rightly deserve.’
The £3 bus cap will also remain in place for at least two more years, the Chancellor confirmed.
Here is everything that has been revealed about the new rail link so far.
What is the new Liverpool-Manchester rail link?

The Liverpool-Manchester Railway could ‘supercharge economic growth’ with a £15 billion boost and 22,000 new jobs during the construction, which could start in the early 2030s, the region’s leaders said.
Plans show the express rail link would have only three stops between Manchester Piccadilly and Liverpool Lime Street.
The proposed stops would be at Manchester Airport, Warrington Bank Quay and Liverpool Gateway, although the exact gateway location has not been confirmed yet.
Liverpool Lime Street, the seventh busiest train station outside London, and Manchester Piccadilly would be revamped.
The city’s stations have become ‘bottlenecks’ with limited platforms and track capacity, Rotheram said.

The new railway would help alleviate the ‘immense pressure’ on the existing network, the mayors said.
The areas around each station, will be redeveloped as new ‘growth zones,’ with new homes, jobs and regeneration in the pipeline ahead of the new rail link.
As many as 500,000 new homes could be build along the rail corridor.
People in Liverpool reacted to the news on social media, with many saying there should be a direct rail link to John Lennon Airport first.
One person said: ‘Create a direct link to John Lennon Airport, South Parkway is a total waste of time for people trying to use our airport.’
Another Liverpool resident said: ‘Manchester has the most to gain out of this plan – not Liverpool.’
Burnham said: ‘Just over 200 years ago, the world’s first passenger railway was built to connect Liverpool and Manchester, transforming the nation’s fortunes for centuries. But Victorian infrastructure is now acting as a brake on growth.
‘A new Liverpool-Manchester Railway would be shorter than both London’s Elizabeth line and East West Rail connecting Oxford and Cambridge, but would punch well above its weight in both growing the UK’s economy and better connecting our high-growth sectors.
‘For too long, such major infrastructure projects in the UK have been delivered in a top-down way.
‘We want to work hand-in-hand with government to plan and deliver this railway from the ground up, enabling us to maintain our growth momentum for Greater Manchester. A new, locally-led delivery model will mean we can build our pipeline of regeneration, new homes, skilled jobs and green growth around the rail line with real certainty.’
The northern mayors travelled to Westminster ahead of the spending review to ramp up the pressure on the government to back their plans.
