Cressman, who previously taught at Titusville Middle School, appeared before a judge in Crawford County Court.
She said: “I’m sorry for being selfish and not taking into account anyone else’s feelings.
“In the fall of 2018, I made decisions that I will regret the rest of my life.”
According to the Meadville Tribune she was also ordered to serve 10 years of probation and must register as a sex offender upon her release.
State police said the 34-year-old initiated the “sexual relationship” with the boy from September 2018 to April 2019, when the student was just 13 years old.
Cressman repeatedly told the boy not to “tell anyone of the relationship” and even threatened to harm herself and the boy if their illicit acts were uncovered, according to police documents.
