FOREST CITY, Iowa (AP) — Court records show a former North Iowa Community School District kindergarten teacher accused of inappropriately touching a child will plead guilty in the case.
The Mason City Globe Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/1N35QKo ) that 62-year-old Allen Twait, of Forest City, will enter the plea at a hearing set for Tuesday. Online court records to not indicate to what charge Twait will plead guilty.
He had been set to be tried on Dec. 9 in Winnebago County District Court on a charge of lascivious acts with a child.
Prosecutors say a criminal complaint alleges Twait fondled a child under 14 last February, but that the incident was not alleged to have occurred at the school where Twait worked.
Twait was placed on administrative leave after he was charged.
