She originally was indicted in October for four counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and two counts of sexual imposition.
The Kettering Police Department began an investigation when the boy’s mother reported the allegations after receiving information from a friend, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.
McBride admitted to having intercourse with the teen “no more than five times” over the summer, according to an affidavit filed in September in Kettering Municipal Court.
She had been free on $50,000 bail plus electronic home monitoring and had been granted work privileges but ordered to not have contact with the boy or any other minors.
Police learned in late December that McBride violated the terms of her bond with continued contact and abuse with the boy and had provided him with gifts, according to the prosecutor’s office.
“Justina McBride has been in almost daily contact with juvenile victim since mid-October,” an affidavit filed last week in Kettering Municipal Court stated. “These contacts include in-person contact and communicating via cellphone through Snapchat. These communications include the sharing of nude photos back and forth of both the suspect and juvenile victim.”
The child pornography-related charges are for incidents that happened between Oct. 21 and Dec. 30, 2022, court documents state.
Her original case has been continued to Tuesday.
She had been held in the Montgomery County Jail on $100,000 bail since her Dec. 30 arrest by Kettering police at her home.
Her bail is now $250,000 following her second indictment, jail records show.
McBride’s attorney did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
“The fact that the defendant was out on bond, having been released by the judge, and yet continued to have contact and abuse the victim after being indicted is very disturbing,” Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck Jr. stated in a release. “This defendant needs to remain in jail in order to protect the victim from further abuse.”
