LE MARS, Iowa (AP) — A former northwestern Iowa teacher accused of having a sexual relationship with a student has been given probation time.
The Sioux City Journal (http://bit.ly/1T0hmYx ) reports a judge Monday sentenced 25-year-old Samantha Kohls to one year of probation.
Kohls, a former Remsen-Union Community School teacher, has already lost her teaching license and must register as a sex offender. She previously pleaded guilty to lascivious conduct with a minor.
Arrest affidavits say Kohls had sex with a 17-year-old male student while she was a teacher at the school. The documents say the sexual encounters happened at her apartment in 2014.
She was initially charged with two counts of sexual exploitation by a school employee but Plymouth County Attorney Darin Raymond agreed to the reduced charge, saying jail time was not appropriate.
