Kansas City, Kan—An elementary school teacher in Kansas City, Kan., has been charged with sexual solicitation of a minor.

The Kansas City Star reports 42-year-old Jason Crum, of Shawnee, was charged Friday on a felony count of sexual exploitation of a child.

He was released from jail after posting $100,000 bond.

The charge alleges that between January 2014 and January 2015, Crum attempted to convince a child under the age of 18 to engage in sexually explicit conduct.

“That individual has been placed on Administrative Leave.

“KCKPS takes incidents such as these seriously and is cooperating with law enforcement in this matter.”
