A text message sent by a jailed former Sydney private school teacher for having sex with a 17-year-old boy asked the teenager if she would be sent to prison.
The 34-year-old woman was jailed for 15 months on Friday at the New South Wales District Court.
In a series of messages, she asks the boy: 'Am I going to gaol?' to which the teenager simply replies: 'No, you're not.'

But the ex-teacher, who also texted the boy about her fears of the story getting out, was told by a judge she would spend at least seven months in prison.
The pregnant former teacher at Sydney Grammar School will give birth to her child behind bars when she is due in May.
She pleaded guilty to five counts of sexual intercourse with a person under her care during a three month period in 2016.
The text messages revealed how the two of them talked about what had happened.
The teacher says she could not eat, sleep or breathe and despised herself 'for having hurt you', she wrote.
The judge said he considered there was no other alternative but a full-time prison term as he gave her a 15-month sentence
She later described herself as a 'f***ing monster' in messages to the teenage boy and speaks of her terror of the story 'getting out'.
'I'm absolutely terrified the story of us will get out, and you're the only one with any control over that,' she wrote.
'And lastly, of course, because I love you. I loved you so much it is killing me.'
She then goes on to express her concerns about the teenager telling someone creating a rumour getting back to 'parents and staff' leading to a police investigation.
During a heated exchange between the pair, the boy replies he would not forget they both loved each other 'for some time'.
He added: 'This isn't a gesture of friendship because while not distancing myself I shan't make attempts towards the opposite either.'

Judge Paul Lakatos in the New South Wales District Court sentenced the woman to at least seven months in jail.
He told the teacher he considered there was no other alternative but a full-time prison term as he gave her a 15-month sentence.
Gasps were heard from the gallery and one woman bent forward and started crying as the court was told she would be going to prison, news.com.au reported.
The father of the baby is the woman's husband and not the 17-year-old boy.
The teacher cannot be named to protect the identity of the student.
The court was told the pair started meeting in relation to a school activity at first but started messaging
Earlier, the court was told the pair started meeting in relation to a school activity at first but subsequently began messaging each other.
They then had oral sex together on the school grounds before having sex at her own home.
After the relationship turned sexual, she started sending gifts to the boy and encouraged him to write sexual fantasies for her.
Judge Lakatos said: 'It was her duty to care for her student's welfare and exercise proper regard for his welfare in circumstances where he could not.
'I consider no other alternative to full custodial term.'
He described the case as a tragedy because of the teacher's previous standing as a well respected professional.
