COLUMBUS, Ohio – A long-term substitute teacher is on trial after she allegedly showed a sexually graphic video to her Spanish class.

Sheila Kearns, a teacher hired by Columbus City Schools on a long-term basis to teach Spanish despite not knowing the language, is charged with five felony counts of “disseminating matter harmful to juveniles,” according to The Columbus Dispatch.

Kearns’ attorney, Geoffrey Oglesby, claims that the teacher had her back to the screen during the showings of “The ABCs of Death” and was “unaware of the graphic nature of the movie, which she thought was in Spanish.”

“It was a mistake that the state wants to turn into a crime,” Oglesby says.

That “mistake” apparently happened five times, as that’s how many classes of students – ranging in age from 14- to 18-years-old – viewed the video.

Assistant Prosecutor Kacey Chappelear claims Kearns tried to fast-forward the movie when an assistant principal appeared in the room, but instead accidentally paused it “with bare female breasts on the screen.”

The principal confiscated it at that point.

The prosecutor says the video graphic violence and explicit sex, including “full frontal nudity, masturbation, ejaculate, feces and vomit.”

The theme of the movie, which is not rated, includes 26 ways to die – one for each letter of the alphabet.

According to the paper, “D” is for “dogfight” and “L” is for “libido.”

Oglesby is trying to shift the blame to the school district, accusing leaders of hiring a substitute to teach Spanish despite not knowing how to speak the language.

He said his client’s job amounted to “an act of glorified babysitting.”

Kearns says she thought the video was in Spanish and admits not viewing it prior to showing it to students.

The jury is tasked with determining whether the video is harmful to juveniles and if so, whether it is considered obscenity under Ohio law.

The maximum punishment for the “low-level felonies” is one year in prison and a $2,500 fine per charge.

The paper reports there is a “presumption” of probation in the case.
