A substitute teacher has been accused of having sexual relationships with students at two northwest Iowa high schools.
32-year-old John Tietsort, of rural Battle Creek, is charged in Ida County with two counts of sexual exploitation by a school employee and three counts of lascivious conduct with a minor.
The Iowa Department of Public Safety says while working as a substitute teacher, Tietsort had repeated sexual contact with a high school student from Odebolt-Arthur, Battle Creek-Ida Grove Schools and also with a high school student from Maple Valley-Anthon Oto Schools.
