IDA GROVE, Iowa (AP) — A substitute teacher has been accused of having sexual relationships with students at two northwest Iowa high schools.
Online court records show 32-year-old John Tietsort, of rural Battle Creek, is charged in Ida County with two counts of sexual exploitation by a school employee and three counts of lascivious conduct with a minor.
The Iowa Department of Public Safety says in a news release that while working as a substitute teacher, Tietsort had repeated sexual contact with a high school student from Odebolt-Arthur and Battle Creek-Ida Grove Schools and with a high school student from Maple Valley-Anthon Oto Schools.
