D.C. Teacher Arrested for Having Sex With Student On The First Day

The following is the text of a court document that outlines text messages between Symone Greene, a substitute teacher at a D.C. charter school charged with having oral sex with a student football player, and a D.C. police detective purporting to be the victim. The phone was in police custody at the time.


On October 21, 2014, the undersigned Metropolitan Police Department detective called the defendant to ascertain whether the defendant would be willing to meet to discuss an incident that occurred at the school. During the phone call the undersigned did not mention any specifics regarding the incident. Immediately after the call, the defendant began text messaging the victim via his cell phone, which was in the custody of the Metropolitan Police Department. The defendant asked the victim “Why is the police calling me?” and the undersigned detective responded, purportedly as the victim. The defendant asked the victim if he told anyone about the sex act and instructed him not to tell anyone about what happened. The defendant also instructed the victim what to say to police if he is contacted, specifically, that he should tell them that she only helped him with his resume and nothing else happened while they were in the classroom together. The specific relevant messages are as follows:
