A Pacific Junction, Iowa teacher is behind bars after being accused of sexual abuse.
Mills County authorities say on Tuesday, 39 year old Christopher Lee Irvin was arrested following a report of sexual assault. Irvin is an elementary art teacher, head cross country coach and assistant track coach employed by the East Mills School District.
Investigators say in an interview on August 17, a young girl disclosed that in late July or early August, Irvin touched her in the groin and buttocks. The girl then further disclosed that back in April, Irvin allegedly rubbed his genitalia on her bare feet.
Irvin is being held at the Mills County jail on charges of Third Degree Sexual Abuse and two counts of Sexual Exploitation by a School Employee.
