KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A former North Kansas City Schools teacher has been charged with sex crimes.

The Kansas City Star (http://bit.ly/1V0yb6c ) reports that 31-year-old Samuel D. Waltemath is charged with first-degree statutory rape and first-degree child molestation in Clay County. Bond has been set at $250,000. No attorney is listed for him in online court records.

Court documents say Waltemath had sexual intercourse with a child less than 14 years old this spring on private property.

North Kansas City Schools spokeswoman Michelle Cronk says Waltemath hasn't been employed by the district since May 1. Cronk says Waltemath resigned from the district for reasons unrelated to the allegations.
