Ex-Ohio State Football Star Is Facing Lengthy Jail Time
Ex-Ohio State Football Star Is Facing Lengthy Jail Time originally appeared on The Spun. An ex-Ohio State Buckeyes football star is facing a long time in prison. Kirk Barton, 40, starred at Ohio State from 2003-07. He was an All-American in his final year with the Buckeyes. Barton, who lives in Columbus, has gone on to become a popular media member in the Ohio State football world. However, tragedy struck on Saturday morning. The ex-Ohio State Buckeyes football star was arrested after being involved in a fatal car accident in Dublin, Ohio - an affluent suburb of Columbus. Barton was allegedly driving at a fast rate of speed when he crashed into another vehicle. Ethan Perry, a 24-year-old Columbus resident, was pronounced dead on the scene. Barton was taken to the hospital to get treated for non-life threatening injuries, before being released into police custody. Barton, who is facing charges of aggravated vehicular manslaughter, is now facing serious prison time. He is likely looking at a possible prison sentence of at least a couple of months, if convicted. "Vehicular homicide is a first-degree misdemeanor when the defendant was driving negligently. If convicted, you face a potential sentence of anywhere from 15 days (the mandatory minimum) to six months in jail. In addition, there is a mandatory suspension of your driver's license from one to five years," Columbus criminal attorney shared. "Vehicular homicide becomes a fourth-degree felony with a possible sentence of up to 18 months in prison if you were driving on a revoked or suspended license or you have a prior conviction for any other traffic-related homicide, manslaughter, or assault." Barton's mugshot is rough to look at, too. "The mugshot is here, and honestly, as somebody that has struggled with alcoholism myself, Barton's friends and family are in my thoughts. I hope he comes out the other side of this," The Rooster shared. Our thoughts are with the friends and family members of the victim on Sunday. May he rest in peace.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – A former teacher with a north Columbus charter school faces sexual battery charges after she was reportedly found with a student inside her vehicle. According to a police complaint report, the mother of a 15-year-old boy was unable to locate her son and noticed that his teacher's car was parked in front of her residence. Upon approaching the car, the mother told police she witnessed a woman, a teacher from Horizon Science Academy, jump off the lap of her son, who was seated on the front passenger side of the vehicle.

The incident occurred during the school's spring break on April 2 at around 8 p.m. The victim was taken to The Center for Family Safety and Healing where he participated in a forensic interview in which he relayed similar information that he told police. Police processed the boy's cell phone, where text messages were found between him and Daboubi that supported the alleged inappropriate relationship. Daboubi was arrested Sunday and on Monday a Franklin County Municipal Court judge issued her a $15,000 bond. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for May 28. A statement from the school said Daboubi was immediately placed on administrative leave and is now no longer employed at Horizon Science Academy and that it is fully cooperating with the investigation.
