A former Bellefontaine fourth-grade teacher that lost her job last year for soliciting sex online faces a new charge.

The Bellefontaine Police Department charged Amber Sommer (formerly Amber Carter), 36, of 328 East Sandusky Avenue, Bellefontaine, with child endangering Tuesday afternoon.

Sommer (pictured) has been at the Logan County Jail on a probation violation since last Wednesday afternoon.

Officers started their investigation after Sommer’s live-in boyfriend, Anthony McLaughlin, 45, contacted police about Internet activity between children and adults.

Sommer admitted that she videotaped herself beating the bare buttocks of her 7-year-old son to appease her “master” in Dayton.

The “master”, Christopher Myers, 27, of 2800 Arden Avenue, Dayton, received the video over the Internet.

Police executed a search warrant at Myers’ home last Friday night.

Detectives have seized computers from Sommer and Myers.

The computers are being sent to a crime lab, which could take a few months to process.

Sommer met Myers over the Internet on a social networking dating site.

Sommer also has a 9-year-old son.

The boys are now in the custody of Sommer’s parents, who live outside of Logan County.

On February 10th, 2009, the Logan County Sheriff’s Office arrested Sommer (Carter at the time) in the Bellefontaine Super 8 parking lot on a third-degree misdemeanor prostitution charge and a fifth-degree felony unauthorized use of property charge.

She allegedly used Craigslist on a school computer to arrange daytime services with clients.

Sommer resigned less than two weeks after her arrest.

The Ohio Department of Education revoked her teaching license last spring.
