A 33 year old former teacher’s aide at an Ohio middle school has been charged with rape involving a 12 year old student.
According to the Daily Mail, which obtained the criminal complaint, the aide, Mandy, is accused of sexual conduct with the student over roughly two weeks, between April 26 and May 11. The complaint alleges the incident took place at her home.
Another school employee reportedly noticed concerning behavior and reported it to administrators, who investigated. The Pickaway County Sheriff’s Office then obtained a search warrant for the home and says it found enough evidence to make an arrest.
Mandy is charged with first degree rape, third degree gross sexual imposition, and fourth degree unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. All are felonies. She was arraigned in a Circleville, Ohio court on Thursday. A response from Mandy was not available at the time of this report, and she is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
The school district said she has since been fired. In a statement, the district said it takes these allegations very seriously and is committed to the safety and well being of its students.
