At age 25, Adrian D. Hill is a member of the military, has been named an Ohio student employee of the year and has been appointed by Ohio’s governor to a statewide volunteer commission.

But on Tuesday, the recently-hired Dayton Public Schools teacher and Eagle Scout was arrested at Edwin Joel Brown Elementary School on suspicion of raping an 8-year-old girl in what district officials said “is not a school matter.” The alleged victim is not a DPS student, police and school officials said.

The district placed the Butler High School and Wright State University graduate on administrative leave as police and prosecutors review his case. Hill was released from jail Thursday afternoon and declined to comment on why he was arrested.

Englewood police records show a report filed just after midnight Saturday indicate rapes of the girl occurred at an Englewood home from Aug. 26 to just minutes before the complaint was lodged.

An officer responded to Dayton Children’s Hospital about 12:20 a.m. Saturday regarding “a possible sexual assault,” police records show.

Hill was booked into the Montgomery County Jail Tuesday afternoon. However, charges have yet to be approved pending further investigation, said Greg Flannagan, Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office public information officer.

The prosecutor “feels she needs some additional information before she can make a charging decision,” he said.

Hill was hired by the district Aug. 10 at a starting salary of $41,409, following a background check, said DPS Public Information Officer Jill Moberley.

In addition to being a DPS teacher, Hill serves with the Army Reserve’s Kentucky-based 449th Engineer Company, deployed with the unit to Afghanistan. In 2013, he was appointed by Gov. John Kasich to the Ohio Commission of Service and Volunteerism, commonly known as ServeOhio.

Around 9:30 a.m. Friday, special agents with the Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation arrested Shelley Jo Duncan, 48, after Tishomingo Police asked for help. The OSBI was able to interview several people and gather enough evidence to make the arrest.

Police in Glendale arrested a teacher who is accused of having sex with a female student.

Allen Scott Johnson, 53, has been a teacher at Paradise Valley High School for the past four years and was arrested at the school.

Johnson had sex or sexual contact with the same student on three separate occasions. Arrest paperwork said the sexual conduct happened in a bathroom at the school and inside Johnson’s car at a public park.

Johnson was the girl’s teacher for English, speech, drama and debate, according to court documents.

At his initial court appearance, Johnson was given a $500,000 bond that the judge was not happy about.

"Absolutely makes me incensed that you get a bond. You need to keep your mouth shut,” said the judge in a courtroom video of the initial appearance. “The law requires I set a bond for you. If I could hold you non-bondable I would do it in a moment.”

Police said the girl recently came forward. Investigators staged a phone call where the secretly listened as the former student called Johnson, getting him to admit what he did and even asking the girl to imagine and relive graphic sexual moments with him.
