Horse drawn sleigh rides through Larkin Park were a big hit with families during the West Barrhaven Community Association’s annual “Winter in Brrrhaven” celebrations. Skating, a chili cook-off, hot chocolate and kids’ activities highlighted the day. For more photos, see page 11. Jeff Morris photo

Barrhaven teacher gets conditional sentence for sexually assaulting student A Barrhaven high school teacher has been given a six-month conditional sentence with 18 months of probation for sexually assaulting a 16-year-old student. St. Mother Teresa

High School teacher Jessica Beraldin pleaded guilty to charges of sexual assault last June. Charges for sexual exploitation and making sexually explicit material available to a child

were withdrawn. The court heard that between the summer of 2015 and March, 2016, Beraldin, then a 30-year-old mother of one, and a male student kissed, and she al-

lowed him to touch her breasts. Beraldin, who taught Grades 7-9 at St. Mother Teresa, apologized when she addressed the court, adding that she was disappointed

in herself and that she took advantage of her position. Her family was in the courtroom with her to offer support, as were a number of St. Mother Teresa students who were there to sup-

port both her and the victim. Beraldin was required to provide a DNA sample, and she will be added to the National Sex Offender Registry for 10 years.
