Substitute Teacher and Her Boyfriend Indicted After They Allegedly Sexually Abused Girl, 5, Multiple Times

A substitute teacher and her boyfriend have been indicted for dozens of child sex crimes involving a 5-year-old girl in Texas.

Madison Paige Jones, 30, was indicted on March 4 on 19 counts, including aggravated sexual assault of a child, sexual contact with a child and possession with intent to promote child pornography, according to public court records from Ellis County.

Zackery Dondlinger, 37, was indicted on March 4 on 20 nearly identical counts, per the public court records.

The indictment means a grand jury found that there was sufficient evidence against both Jones and Dondlinger for the case to proceed to trial.

Attorneys for both Dondlinger and Jones did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
