Daboubi pleaded guilty in February to amended charges of gross sexual imposition and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, according to our news partners, WBNS.
On April 2, 2025 someone was looking for the 15-year-old boy and saw that Daboubi’s car was parked in front of her home, according to court records.
The person walked up to the car and reportedly saw the teacher jump off the teenager’s lap.
The student reportedly admitted to police that he had an inappropriate relationship with Daboubi, and they allegedly kissed in the car, according to court records.
Text messages processed by authorities reportedly show that the woman and teenager had an inappropriate relationship.
Daboubi was scheduled to be sentenced on Friday, but the hearing was continued. A new sentencing date has not been set yet.
