In the transcript, the male student asks Ragusa, "What part do you remember about it?"

Ragusa answered, "I don't know. It was fun."

According to the log, Ragusa also admits she broke the law.

Male: "Well, like what exactly that we did was wrong, though?"

Ragusa: "It's illegal."

Male: "Like what, though?"

Ragusa: "You're under 18; I'm over 18 and I don't know; whatever."

Ragusa's attorney asked the judge to withhold the recording on grounds the release might hurt the former teacher's chances of getting a fair trial.
