Mother finds son in car with ex-Columbus charter teacher, leads to sexual battery charge
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – A former teacher with a north Columbus charter school faces sexual battery charges after she was reportedly found with a student inside her vehicle. According to a police complaint report, the mother of a 15-year-old boy was unable to locate her son and noticed that his teacher's car was parked in front of her residence. Upon approaching the car, the mother told police she witnessed a woman, a teacher from Horizon Science Academy, jump off the lap of her son, who was seated on the front passenger side of the vehicle. Ex-Ohio State and Olympic wrestler Kyle Snyder speaks at prostitution plea hearing The boy told police that he had been having an inappropriate relationship with 28-year-old Jamelah Daboubi, his English teacher, and admitted that the two were kissing and touching each other while clothed in the car. The incident occurred during the school's spring break on April 2 at around 8 p.m. The victim was taken to The Center for Family Safety and Healing where he participated in a forensic interview in which he relayed similar information that he told police. Police processed the boy's cell phone, where text messages were found between him and Daboubi that supported the alleged inappropriate relationship. Daboubi was arrested Sunday and on Monday a Franklin County Municipal Court judge issued her a $15,000 bond. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for May 28. A statement from the school said Daboubi was immediately placed on administrative leave and is now no longer employed at Horizon Science Academy and that it is fully cooperating with the investigation.
