URBANA, Ohio —
The incident came to light while the teacher was on suspension on accusations he improperly talked to a different student online.
The teacher's name is James Zaborowski, a 42-year-old math and science teacher at Urbana High School.
Newscenter 7 pored through Zaborowski's personnel file, hundreds of pages.
He was first placed on leave at the end of March, accused of exchanging improper messages with a female student through the Web site MySpace.com.
Urbana Schools Superintendent Susan McCarty said, "This communication was not about academics."
The MySpace messages, all included in the file, detail the conversations.
They indicate Zaborowski, who went by the name "Binary," told a female student she was attractive, once even writing he knew he shouldn't say it.
The file also shows Zaborowski admitted to the messages, and he, the school system and state agreed on a punishment.
McCarty said, "A five-day suspension without pay was put in place as discipline for (the) incident."
But while Zaborowski was on leave, another student came forward.
This one was a boy who accused Zaborowski of inappropriately touching him before a basketball practice back in the winter. Zaborowski was the school's freshman basketball coach.
The teacher remains on leave as the school, the Ohio Department of Education and the Urbana Police Department investigate the newest alleged incident.
