Oskaloosa Middle School teacher charged
OSKALOOSA — An Oskaloosa Middle School teacher has been charged with assault with intent to commit sexual abuse in an alleged incident that occurred almost two years ago.
Jeremy Chamberlin, 31, of Oskaloosa, was charged on Aug. 6. On Aug. 7, he was released on his own recognizance and has a preliminary hearing on Aug. 27 at 3 p.m.
According to the complaint and affidavit filed at the Mahaska County Courthouse, he allegedly fondled a 16-year-old girl at her birthday party in September of 2006.
Oskaloosa Community School District Superintendent Carolyn McGaughey said that personnel matters are confidential and that when the district needs to take action in regards to personnel matters, it does so in an appropriate manner. She wrote in an e-mail that when the district is required to act upon personnel issues, it does so in accordance with state and federal statute as well as district board-approved policy.
Chamberlin had no comment on the alleged charges.
