YouTube Video Cast A Dark Shadow On Westerville Teacher/Coach
Updated: Oct 28, 2022
A couple of teenagers out for kicks to expose dirty old men on Omegle, a popular online chat website, busted a 32-year-old Westerville Central High School math teacher and football and track coach.
The YouTube video – Catching Predators on Omegle – shows Justin Christoff getting frisky with a girl who told Christoff she was just 15 years old. It didn't stop the former Otterbein University football standout from trying to score.
Here is part of their conversation.
Christoff: You've ever been with an older guy?
Girl: No, not really.
Christoff: So, what are some of your turn-ons?
Girl: Probably hands; I really like hands.
Christoff: Are my hands good? (Shows girl his hands).
Girl: Yeah, I love your hands.
Christoff: You do, huh? What would you want me to do with my hands?
Girl: I don't know.
Christoff: I wouldn't mind holding you in my hands.
Girl: You want to hold hands with me?
Christoff: Yeah, well, I'll hold your hand, hold your body.
Girl: My body?
Christoff: Yeah, hold it in my hands, up and down you.

Given that this is an active Human Resources investigation into a personnel matter, I am not at liberty to provide any information beyond what has been shared above. We appreciate those who contacted us to ensure we were aware of this matter and assure you that it is being addressed appropriately."
Christoff is on paid administrative leave.
On its website, Omegle states that you must be 18 and older to participate in chat rooms. According to the video, the teen who claimed to be 15 and chatted with Christoff is 19.
But, as you will see in the video, Christoff truly believed he was talking with a 15-year-old girl. "Oh, dang. I wouldn't have guessed you were that young," Christoff said when the teen revealed her age. "It's probably the makeup," the girl responded. "Oh, see, you look a
Dang is right. Christoff has lots to explain to his bosses, and I'm sure his wife will have a few questions, too.
