Dawn Marie Baloun, 43, of Lake Forest, is charged
with one misdemeanor count of child annoyance and faces a maximum
sentence of one year in jail if convicted. She is scheduled to be
arraigned April 12 at the Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach.

Wile working as a teacher at the Joplin Youth Center between March and April 2009, Baloun is
accused of having an unlawful intimate relationship with the unidentified boy housed at the facility.

She met him alone in classrooms, the facility office and in a
towel closet, where she kissed him, fondled him over
his clothing and had him touch her breasts over her clothing, according to the OCDA.

The youth was transferred to another state facility in April 2009, but from then through the following December, Baloun is accused of exchanging
approximately 65 graphic, sexual letters with the lad.

A counselor at the facility where the boy was housed discovered the letters and squealed to the Orange County
Sheriff's Department.
