Teacher scandals shake up Defiance
About two weeks before a Defiance County grand jury in Ohio is to decide whether she should be charged with a felony, a 29-year-old English teacher resigned because of allegations she engaged in sexual conduct with a 17-year-old student.
And the same grand jury will hear evidence that another Ayersville High School teacher showed an inappropriate video to her Spanish class. The Defiance County Sheriff’s Department received a report from a concerned parent late last year.
Nicole Long of Defiance taught English at Ayersville High School, and on Monday night the Ayersville Local School board accepted her resignation, tendered Friday. On Jan. 18, prosecutors will present evidence to a grand jury about the alleged sexual encounter, asking it to indict Long on a charge of sexual battery, a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
Megan Espen, 39, of Bowling Green is accused of showing an adult movie to her Spanish class in November. She may be indicted on a charge of disseminating matter harmful to juveniles. That charge could be either a first-degree misdemeanor or a fifth-degree felony, officials said.
Comment: Where in the Hell were these teachers when I was in school, however if it was my kid I would be calling for heads on spikes.
