Former teacher in nude photo case pleads guilty

A former Cincinnati school teacher pleaded guilty this morning to disorderly conduct stemming from a police investigation into a nude photo of her that was posted online.

Jaime Climie, of West Chester Twp., was sentenced to 10 days in jail but the days were suspended. She was also given two years of non-reporting probation and ordered to pay a $200 fine and $125 court costs.

She declined comment after her hearing.

Climie had been charged with obstructing official business, a second-degree misdemeanor. She was charged in January by West Chester Police who say she obstructed their investigation late last year.

On Nov. 24, West Chester Police were called to Climie's home in the 9000 block of Lynn Avenue on a report of a theft. At that time Climie claimed she could not locate her cell phone and she reported someone had posted a nude photograph of her without her permission on the Internet, according to police. That photo was taken on the phone reported stolen.

Through the investigation, it was discovered Climie had been untruthful. Police said Climie later admitted she had sent the photograph of herself to someone other than whom she originally claimed, according to police.

Climie resigned from her teaching position at Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy on Snider Road in December after the nude photo was discovered online.

The nude photo was discovered on a revenge porn website, where hackers, ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends often post inappropriate photos, along with personal information about the person. Next, the embarrassing photos can be forwarded to family, friends and colleagues, according to our news partners at WCPO.

The photo was posted to the website Nov 23. Climie filed the theft report the next day.
