Teacher indicted after admitting to sexual relations with teen students, sending nude photos
Earlier in November, a 23-year-old substitute teacher who taught at Kettering Fairmont High School in Ohio admitted to having sex with at least two of her underage students. On November 21, that teacher, Madeline Marx, was indicted on two counts of sexual battery. According to The New York Daily News, “Marx allegedly engaged in oral sex with a 17-year-old student over the summer in a Big Lots parking lot in Kettering, the victim told police.” Another 16-year-old student told police that he had intercourse with Marx in September in an apartment complex parking lot.
In addition to teaching at Fairmont High School, Marx also taught in Oakwood. She was terminated from her teaching posts following the allegations of sexual misconduct with her minor students. Marx admitted to police to having sexual relations with multiple students and sending nude photos via Snapchat and Instagram to at least one of the victims.
According to The Washington Post, Scott Inskeep, the District Superintendent for the Kettering City School District, said that he first heard about Marx’s alleged sexual affairs when “a student or students” came forward to report her activities in early November. Cleveland.com reported that the teacher was physically removed from Kettering Fairmont High School and taken into custody on November 8 after school officials were made aware of the sexual relationships she was having with the two high school juniors. The Post quoted Inskeep as stating that people should generally be worried about inappropriate sexual relationships.
“Today with the incidents that seem to be occurring regularly in all walks in the professional world, including in the media, including the arts, including our most profoundly successful senators, it’s just … it’s an issue we’ve got to keep working on,” the superintendent said. “But it worked here. Kids, students were concerned, and they made an administrator aware, and we investigated immediately, and that person is no longer working with our students.”
Marx was freed on her own recognizance and was ordered by the court not to have any contact with her teen students.
