Madalyn Arnett, 26, of Dayton, pleaded guilty in March to sexual battery in Warren County Common Pleas Court.

According to the county prosecutor’s office, the student had approached Arnett at school about what he could to do improve his grades, and the teacher initially declined to assist him. Later, Arnett contacted the student on social media and began conversations that were “sexual in nature.” Arnett also sent the student nude images and videos of herself.
