Forward: LA Orthodox school’s former guidance counselor will avoid jail time in sex abuse case

Louis Keene writes:

An Orthodox Jewish high school’s former director of academic support will avoid jail after pleading no contest Thursday to sexual abuse charges involving a student in her charge at the school’s boys’ division.

Julie Tichon, 38, was working at YULA Boys High School in May 2024 when two students reported having separate sexual relationships with her. The LA-based school fired Tichon and referred the matter to the police department. Tichon was charged four months later in connection with one of the students, who was 16 at the time of their alleged encounters.

Tichon will face two years of probation and will be registered as a sex offender for a minimum of 10 years.
