In April 2019, after the case against her son surfaced, Lisa Hopkins - employed with Springboro Schools since 1990 - was reassigned to teach fifth grade at Dennis Elementary. She had been teaching second grade at Dennis since 2015.
On Friday, Judge Robert Peeler read the individual verdict forms indicating her son was guilty on 34 of 36 charges. After that, Lisa Hopkins became upset and yelled out a question suggesting the parents were being paid for making the allegations.
John Austin Hopkins was taken into custody, pending sentencing, expected next month.
Peeler said he would have John Austin Hopkins psychologically evaluated before sentencing him.
