Ohio teacher busted for 'sex' IN HER VAN with junior high boy student, age 14

[Liberalism In The News]

An Ohio woman who formerly worked as a teacher in Washington,
D.C., was arrested Friday for sexually abusing a boy from 2009
to 2014, starting when he was 14.

According to WLJA, a mandated reporter at Two Rivers Public
Charter School alerted authorities last year to the relationship
between Joan Meyer, 45, and the victim, called “Z.J.” in
documents. Z.J. reportedly revealed in emails that he had a
sexual relationship with Meyer that began when he was 14 years
old.

An investigation revealed that the alleged relationship was the
subject of two prior Youth Divison investigations that
transpired in 2010 and 2012. Allegations also arose in 2010 at
Two Rivers and 2012 at a different school. During the first
investigation, students reported seeing Meyer and Z.J. holding
hands in an alley near the school — and seeing Z.J. kissing the
teacher on the cheek twice, according to the news outlet.

During the same investigation, staff members allegedly indicated
there were “intimate encounters” between Meyer and the student.
Despite this, police closed their investigations, and the two
internal investigations were deemed “unfounded.”

Meyer reportedly told police that she had a sexual relationship
with Z.J. in 2013 and 2015, starting weeks after his 18th
birthday. However, Z.J. told police last year that their
relationship began in 2007, when he was 12 years old, after his
mother asked Meyer to drive him to school and they connected
over books and essays. Z.J. said their sexual relationship began
two years later, according to the news outlet.

Z.J. allegedly recounted Meyer sexually abusing him in her van
and home. Meyer’s husband reportedly caught the boy in the home
on two occasions. Marijuana and alcohol were allegedly used
during the illicit encounters.

The relationship ended in 2014, but Z.J. and Meyer reconciled in
2018. The pair split a year later.

According to WJLA, Z.J. had texted Meyer insinuating he was
going to report her to the police. In turn, Meyer and her lawyer
showed police texts in which Z.J. allegedly threatened to find
her and called her a “filthy woman.” Meyer also claimed Z.J.
sent text messages demanding sex.

Shaker Heights City School District officials said Meyer is a
library media specialist at Onaway Elementary in Ohio. Officials
said none of the allegations transpired when Meyer worked at the
elementary school, according to WOIO.

Meyer was charged with felony child sex abuse. She is currently
on paid administrative leave.
