>> i said to you, did you ever have sex with a student. you said no, no, it was never, never leak that, no. >> that's partly true. it was never like that. you know, there is a fine line about telling the truth, lying. >> you did have sex with him, though, you said no to that question. >> right, well, openly in an interview, you can't come out and express what the facts of the case are. we are talking about a criminal court case. it would not be very smart for me on an interview to come out and tell you the truth when i have a court case in a couple of months. >> you swooer this is the truth, so help you god? >> sheryl's mother, too, pled guilty to a reduced charge. >> tell me what you did. >> i sent a text message to cody and the tech message said, "get rid of the phone." >> sarah made you lie for her. hide. i hid it in the fact that, yes, i did send a text message. did i destroy anything? i just did what i needed to do. i supported my daughter and loved her unconditionally knowing full well that at some point in time, the truth had to come out. >> a lot of moms are probably watching this right now saying, look, i would do the same for my kid. i would lie, i would protect them at all costs. >> sure. >> then there are others who say, you are supposed to set the example. are you supposed to teach them you don't lie. i'm sorry you made a bad choice, but here are the consequences. >> yeah. i, you know, i understand that side of it, too. >> sheryl did pay a price. forced into early retirement from her job as a school principal. >> after 35 years ago i walked out and that was it. i didn't go to my office. i couldn't say good-bye. i couldn't tell my teachers i was retiring. nothing. >> sheryl and sarah have both come clean. now it's cody's turn. >> you had this giant secret you were trying to keep from people, from everyone. >> it was very difficult. >> the teenage boy at the heart of it all tells his side of the story. coming up, cody york opens up about the beginning of the affair. who hit on whom? >> that's how it crystal geyser is always bottled at the mountain source. crystal geyser. crystal geyser. crystal geyser. then we deliver it directly to you. we don't have a ten step filtering process for our water. we don't need it. because crystal geyser is made by nature, not by man. crystal geyser is always bottled at the mountain source. we live in an uber connected, hyper documented, social media savvy and totally technologically enhanced world. and it's important for you to be the first to talk with your kids about the internet. you'll help them be responsible online... the more you know. for me it's not a problem. >> we've heard from sarah jones. we've heard from police and the prosecutor, but no one has ever heard from cody york until now. >> i'm not used to seeing my face on the media at all and it was just the, it was overwhelming. >> cody sat down with "dateline" for an exclusive interview. a young man on the verge of adulthood, under the law, a victim of a sex crime, committed by his teacher, sarah jones. what was it like to be called the victim?

>> absolutely. >> yet, you guys did it. >> it was worth it. i never in my million years thought this would happen, so, i don't know. >> you never thought it would get to this point? >> absolutely not. >> there was no turning back. now it was all about covering it up. you had this jeent secret you were trying to keep from people, from everyone. >> it was very difficult. it was because i wanted to be able to tell my friends like this is my girlfriend. >> did your friend say to you, dude, did you do this? >> oh, yes, absolutely. almost every single day. >> what did you say to them? >> no. >> you lied? >> i just kept my mouth closed. >> and sarah needed him to keep his mouth closed, if ever questioned. >> honestly in my mind as dumb as it may sound, i admit it, i literally thought nothing could happen to me unless cody turned me in. >> and you now he wouldn't do that. >> i never thought he could do that. >> did you and sarah zephyr ever say, deny, deny, deny? >> sure. she knew i had her back. >> who could ever know, how could they present it? >> that's what i thought. >> little did they know, investigators were one step ahead of them, they had those steamy and incriminating texts. >> where did you get these? >> after that game changing police interrogation, sarah and cody felt they were backed into a corner. >> i was a nervous wreck. i would slam up and cried. i knew she didn't deserve to be in trouble. i did not want anything to happen to her at all. >> it was time to drop the bomb on their families. >> we thought, we let both our parents, we sat them down. we came out with everything. we knew at that point in time once the police were called, we were caught. >> the jig was up? >> mm-hmm. >> it was nerve racking, but both families were very understanding. >> they weren't, what were you thinking? zplirp saying we were bum dumb, who wouldn't? >> when they sat you down? your first reaction. >> i wanted to ring her neck. that's plain and simple. what in the name of all that if holy are you thinking? >> i'm sure western laughing, were you? >> no, i was sick. i was sick. >> sarah's parents had the choice to make, tell the police the truth or protect their daughter. in the end, they chose their daughter. was it hard for you to keep this all bottled up inside? >> it was hard, it was very hard. because i didn't want to be dishonest and i didn't want to portray that she was totally innocent in that and i don't think i did. i mean, some people may look at me and say i was a bold faced liar. i don't feel i was. i said multiple times, she's not totally in this, but she's not what they're trying to make her out to be. >> when sarah was indicted sitting on house arrest, the court had cut her off from cody. banned from seeing him, calming him, or texting him. that, she says, was the worst part of all. >> it was very hard to not be able to contact him. i mean, if you can imagine what it's like to not see your best friend for a long time, six months, i struggled with it daily. i cried daily. >> what was it like being apart?
