A substitute Teacher and her boyfriend have been charged with sex crimes against a 5-year-old girl.

Madison Paige Jones, 30, and Zackery Dondlinger, 37, from the town of Happy in northern Texas, face a combined 39 counts of child sex crimes, KVII reported. They are being held on bonds of almost $9 million.

The alleged abuse took place between Dec. 5-17, 2025, and involved a young girl, Midlothian, Texas, said.

Cops were called on Dec. 17 to investigate reports of sexual assault involving a child; Jones was arrested two days later.

The call was made by a woman who identified herself as a friend of Jones. She said she had concerns over Dondlinger’s behavior towards a 5-year-old child in Jones’ home, court documents obtained by NewsChannel10 read.

Officers then spoke to Jones who confessed to sexually assaulting the child, adding Dondlinger told her to do so, court documents show.
