    Olentangy Local School Teacher Arrested For Rape, Sexual Imposition

    [Matthew D. Rausenber] is charged with using his fingers to rape one student while the little girl sat on his lap and fondling a second student in a similar circumstance. Rausenberg is accused of setting up his phone to videotape one incident. One of the victims, now a teenager, tipped off investigators.

    ...

    Olentangy school officials said Rausenberg had been disciplined two years ago after a parent complained about inappropriate touching. "Her daughter was rubbing his shoulders and sitting on his lap during story time," said Wade Lucas, superintendent of the district.

    Delaware County Elementary School Teacher Arrested

    10TV has learned this isn't the first time [Matthew D.] Rausenberg has come under fire for inappropriately touching a student. Olentangy Schools say two years ago, the teacher was disciplined after a parent complained her young daughter rubbed Rausenberg's shoulders and sat on his lap. Another parent reported similar concerns six years ago, but the school seemed confident Rausenberg wasn’t out of line.

    The now-16-year-old student claims Rausenberg sexually abused her over four years, starting in 2006 when she was in the second grade. She says it started with him "... touching her in weird ways." She says beginning in the 4th grade, Rausenberg would: "... Pull her into his classroom when no one else was in it... Ask her to sit on his lap and read children's books to him." She says as she read, he would: "... Rub on her body ... Unzip his pants and expose himself." She said he would also "... Lift up her shirt and put his hands down her pants ..."

    The girl claims this happened multiple times and continued into 5th grade. She told detectives during one of these incidents, she remembers Rausenberg turning on a camera positioned near his desk that was pointing at them while he sexually abused her. She says one time at the end of the day, she ran into his room, took the camera and wrote him a note saying she'd report him to police if it continued.

    She continues that the next day she discovered Rausenberg had "ransacked her locker and book bag." She goes on to say he went to the high school her sister attended, drove her home and demanded to be let in so he could search for the video camera. She says her sister didn't know "... the camera contained videos of Rausenberg sexually abusing her and other children that she recognized from school." The girl's grandmother found the camera and gave it back to Rausenberg without knowing what it contained.

    Olentangy Schools Teacher Arrested On Rape Charges

    According to the Delaware County Sheriff's Office, 39-year-old Matthew D. Rausenberg was arrested and charged with rape and gross sexual imposition. According to court records, Rausenberg's alleged victims are a 10-year-old girl and an 8-year-old girl. Records also showed that Rausenberg was the teacher of the 8-year-old at the time the alleged incidents occurred and both incidents happened on school grounds.

    ...

    Lucas tells NBC4 they investigated Rausenberg 2 years ago when an anonymous parent contacted the district. During their investigation, Lucas says Rausenberg admitted to allowing some students to sit on his lap during reading time. The district says that he was told that was not allowed, and that would stop immediately.

    'Betrayal and anger' prevalent after Olentangy teacher charged with rape

    Authorities were notified after a 16-year-old girl told her youth-group counselor that Rausenberg previously had molested her. The counselor notified the sheriff’s office, which began to investigate. According to a search warrant, the girl accused Rausenberg of multiple incidents of abuse between 2006 and 2010, and of videotaping one of the assaults in an empty classroom as he groped and rubbed her while she, about 8 at the time, sat on his lap and read children’s books to him. In the other case, a 10-year-old was raped with a finger, again as she read books to Rausenberg on his lap ...

    Parents Hit With Tough Questions after Teacher is Charged with Sex Crimes

Prosecutors said Arrowhead Elementary School teacher Matt Rausenberg had sexual contact with two students in his classroom between 2006 and 2010. Officials at Delaware County Job and Family Services said parents should listen to questions, but not start a difficult conversation with young children about the allegations. “If they've heard things, they'll talk. Ask open minded questions, open ended questions,” said Shanice Jenkins. “I think parents should just remain calm and just listen to their children as ...

    Mom not surprised after third grade teacher charged with rape

    “He seemed to want to lure the girls into fighting for his attention. He would call them girlfriends, a different girl would be his girlfriend each day, holding hands with them.” McGowan said [Matthew] Rausenberg behaved inappropriately in plain view of parents, teachers, and even the principal.

    But what led the Ohio mother to file a complaint with the district were the details revealed during a conversation with her daughter. “She came home and told me that he was having the girls rub his back in class and having him sit on his lap to read books,” she said. The district then investigated — but McGowan said officials never spoke with her daughter, and the principal assured her nothing more serious was happening.

    Investigators say they've discovered a sophisticated marijuana-growing operation inside the home of an Olentangy elementary school teacher accused of raping one of his students. Authorities said they discovered the marijuana during a raid of Matthew Rausenberg's Maynard Ave. home in Clintonville as they were searching for evidence of sexual abuse. One investigator said the amount appeared to be more than an amount for personal use, but it's not clear if Rausenberg was selling the drugs.
