KANSAS (KSNW) — A high school teacher and wrestling coach in eastern Kansas has been arrested for sex crimes, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
The arrest took place at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday.
The teacher and coach was arrested on a warrant for suspicion of eight counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child.
The KBI initiated an investigation after a sheriff’s office in eastern Kansas took a report from a former student who said she had a sexual relationship with the teacher in 2012 and 2013 when she was a sophomore and the teacher was then a student teacher.
The investigation revealed a second former student who reported she also had sexual intercourse with the teacher on multiple occasions in 2013 when she was 15.
The teacher has since been booked into jail.
