According to court records, Abdurahman Milani -- a math teacher at Marshall Middle School -- would send one of his 14-year-old students pictures of himself via Instagram. Court records said some of the pictures showed Milani from the waist down, wearing bottoms and touching himself.
The 14-year-old said they exchanged several explicit photos of each other via Instagram and she only sent photos of herself because he repeatedly asked her to.
She told investigators she started to get uncomfortable around Milani when they were at school because he would ask her to do a trick for him, court records said.
Milani is also accused of having oral sex in his classroom with another 14-year-old student.
Court records said the student went to his classroom on one occasion to help him organize. That is when the young girl told investigators that he touched her private body parts over her clothing. On another occasion, she said he sent her an Instagram message asking to talk about her grades. That's when investigators said the sexual act was performed.
According to court records, the two later talked about their sexual encounter via Instagram message where Milani said, "you going to keep it going till finish."
Milani is charged with two counts of indecency with child sexual contact, two counts of sexual assault with a child between 14 and 17, two counts of improper relationship with a student and one count of online solicitation of a minor younger than 14.
Milani was given a $250,000 bond during his first court appearance Thursday. He is scheduled to be back in court next week.
