Crimes of accused teacher outlined publicly

(KAIR)--The victim was under 12-years-old when the crimes began.

That detail is among others outlined in court documents related to the arrest of a former elementary teacher for the Saint Joseph, Missouri School District.

KQ2-TV reports the alleged crimes committed by 27-year-old Cole Charboneau occurred between August 1 2015 and February 1, 2017.

The documents state the incidents involving the young victim happened on multiple occasions at Charboneau's home and included improper touching, kissing, and showering together.

School District Superintendent Dr. Robert Newhart said the district learned of the accusation on November 17 and immediately contacted Missouri's Family Support Division. At that time, Charboneau was placed on paid administrative leave.

The TV station reports the School District Monday announced that Charboneau would be placed on unpaid administrative leave, effective immediately.

Charboneau remains jailed in Buchanan County, held on a $50,000 bond.

He's scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.
