School Superintendent Accused of Child Sex Assault
Kenneth Cody Weber, the superintendent of Colorado's Karval School District, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with seven counts of sex assault on a child by a person in a position of trust. The 36-year-old educator had been hired as superintendent of Karval in June of this year, and the seven counts against him date back to January 2009, when he was working as an agricultural science teacher in the Colorado town of Limon.
"Part of the reason we ended up moving out here was for the wholesome, small-town environment and then we find out this," Limon-area parent Elizabeth Zertuche told Denver7 News. "You send your students to class thinking they're safe, and they may not be." As of now, it's unclear whether any alleged victim of Weber was his student at the time. The Karval School District sent a note to parents saying that school doors would be locked for the time being and that Weber had been placed on administrative leave. After posting a $100,000 bond, he was released from the Lincoln County Jail and is due to reappear in court on December 13.
