Teacher’s aide accused of raping teenage student with mental capacity of 9-year-old after boy’s mom catches her at their home on a snow day, cops say

Christin Coble (Sandusky County Jail).

A teacher’s aide in Ohio is behind bars for allegedly raping a teenage student with the mental capacity of a 9-year-old — with his own mom catching the 45-year-old woman at her house with her son — after classes were canceled for a snow day, cops say.

Christin Coble, a paraprofessional for the Woodmore Local School District, is charged with felony rape after being caught with the 15-year-old victim on Monday at his home in Sandusky County. The boy’s mother told local ABC affiliate WTVG that he has an intellectual disability and was home that day due to their school district being closed for inclement weather.

“Our family is absolutely devastated over all of this,” the mom said.

While they’re keeping most details private, the underage victim’s mother confirmed to WTVG that she called the police on Coble after finding her at her house with her son.

“The investigation is still ongoing, and there may be some additional charges,” Sandusky County Sheriff Chris Hilton told local outlets.

Coble appeared in court Wednesday and was granted a $100,000 bond. Her case will be presented to a grand jury.

“While the District cannot comment on an ongoing investigation or the personally identifiable information of students, the District’s primary concern is always the safety and well-being of its students,” Woodmore Superintendent Dr. Schaeffer told WTVG.

A law firm representing the victim’s family on Wednesday said the teen and his mother had been through “an unimaginable 48 hours.”

In addition to rape, police are weighing possible charges of burglary related to how Coble allegedly entered the victim’s home.
