Deputies arrested a Mounds View High School teacher Tuesday on suspicion of criminal sexual conduct of a 17-year-old female student.
The 58-year-old was taken into custody at his Minneapolis home, according to the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office.
The teacher was put on administrative leave Monday and the school is cooperating with the investigation, Principal Rob Reetz wrote in a letter to parents on Tuesday.
“Because this is an active investigation and at this time there are no formal charges, we are limited in what we can share and when we can share it,” Reetz wrote. “We understand that this news may be upsetting to many, and our top concern remains focused on our students.”
The man is being held in the Ramsey County jail. He is an English language arts teacher and has worked for Mounds View Public Schools for 26 years, according to the school district.
