Sarah Jones Reality Show: Bengals Cheerleader Who Slept With Student Goes 'Jersey Shore' (PHOTOS, UPDATE)

The Huffington Post     First Posted: 10/30/12 EDT Updated: 10/31/12 EDT

The former Bengals cheerleader who admitted to sleeping with her underage student is bringing her special talent to your living room.

Sarah Jones, now 27, will star in her own reality show, the New York Daily News reports.

A source told Radar Online that Jones shouldn't be able to make money off her crime: having sex with a 17-year-old former student while she was a teacher at a northern Kentucky high school.

UPDATE: In an email to WLWT, Jones' attorney Eric Deters said, "Sarah Jones does NOT have a reality show, plans or discussions about one. This report is false."

Jones pleaded guilty to the relationship with Cody York -- who claims to be her boyfriend -- earlier this month.

"She's totally cashing in on her crime, and I'm pretty sure that if it was a 27-year-old man that had pleaded guilty to having sex with his 17-year-old female student he wouldn't have been given a TV show!" the source told Radar Online.

CBS reports that the creators of MTV's "Jersey Shore" approached Jones with a proposal to star in her own series. Further details are unclear.

Meanwhile, Jones is suing The Dirty for $11 million for defamation and libel after website published an article calling her "a liar and a child molester," Radar Online reports.

In court earlier this month, Jones expressed remorse for having the relationship while she was employed -- but doesn't regret being with York.

"Yeah, what I did was wrong," she said. "And I feel guilty as to what happened and that other people were hurt in this in a sense from our families having to go through this."

According to the U.S. Justice system:

A dude commits statutory, he's arrested and imprisoned. A woman commits statutory, she gets her own reality show. Nice.

If she were a Conservative/Republican, believe me, she'd be getting the book thrown at her. A government union employee? She's a hero to them.

Amazed by how many people say 17 is a child. Not hardly.

that's another argument but the law is the law...what i have issue with is the fact that if an older man had sex with a 17 year old girl he would be given a much harsher punishment by the law and society than an older woman and a 17 year old boy...the law is supposed to be blind but the reality is women get an unfair advantage when it comes to "justice"

Have you had a conversation with a 17 year old recently? Do you remember being 17? They think they know everything, make horrible decisions without rhyme or reason and feel they are invincible. Every 17 year old is different as well. Environmental factors such as; who raised them, what neighborhood they grew up in, were they socialized well in childhood, the education level that they mentally fit into as opposed to the one actually completed. There are 14 year olds more mature than some 50 year olds I know and plenty of hormonal 17 year olds who have the emotional development of a 10 year old. Just because they choose to make adult decisions does not make them an adult.

Thanks for making a general statement about 17-year-olds and then back-tracking. The only accurate statement you made was Every 17 year old is different..."

Now; would I have hit that cheerleader? Like the fist of an angry...

And if you watch even one minute of this show, then YOU are what is wrong with this nation.

Ah hell, no crime was committed here. This was a great learning experience for the young lad. Helps prepare him for future engagements. Cheers to both participants.

It is America where only the dollar matters...

not to be negative - but thats far from true - seriously! Look around at the rest of the world (Vatican for one example) and you'll take your comment back

I love USA so Id hate to just pin these money grubbing issue as "American"

Cheers thou!

Saying that if the genders were reversed there would be no show is ludicrous. Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchinson are on a reality show as we speak.

How can she be a child molester when 17 year olds have fought as soldiers for our country in Iraq?
03:27 PM on 11/05/2012
She isn't - in fact I'm pretty sure she was never even charged with a sex crime, because 17 is a legal age of consent - the only reason she was charged at all is because she was a public employee having a relationship with a student. If she hadn't been a public school teacher, it wouldn't have even been a crime at all.

So the headline was indeed libel. In some states you can legally marry as young as 14 with parental consent - the media outlets who called her a "child molester" and a "female Sandusky" are shameless and had no problem defaming someone with sensationalist headlines just for the ratings - they should be sued out of business.

Only 17 year olds would be one's who the parents sign in to the military. In the 3 years I was in I only knew of two. One in Basic one at Ft. Bragg. Both were messes.

child molesters need jail time

the fact that she is a female and the victim is ok with this means nothing

just like a wife who doesnt want her abusive husband to go to jail

If the 'victim' was 14 I might agree, but 17 is hardly different than 18. In my state 17 year old's may vote in primaries and such if they will be 18 before the general election. If they are competent to make those decisions, surely they are competent to make a decision like this.

Men who sleep with 17-year-old girls should be treated the exact same way.

Where was she when I was 17? To be sure, I would have kept my mouth shut about it.
