GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – A former elementary school teacher pleaded not guilty Tuesday to two child sexual assault charges with two students at Beaumont Elementary School.
Kelton Jennings, 26, is charged with repeated sexual assault of the same child and first-degree child sexual assault.
No trial date was set. Jennings returns to court in November.
According to the criminal complaint, the incidents happened between Oct. 1 and Feb. 10. The complaint says two students told investigators Jennings touched their chests inappropriately.
Another student told police she witnessed Jennings touch one of the victims.
The criminal complaint does not contain any statements by Jennings.
In a letter to families and staff, the Green Bay Area Public School District said it received an allegation in January of inappropriate student contact against Jennings. As the district and police investigated, another allegation was made. Jennings then resigned from the district, according to the letter.
Jennings was arrested in early March and made a court appearance then, but the charges were not filed until April.
