A former North Mahaska teacher faces several charges related to sexual abuse of three females who were juveniles at the time of the incidents.

Christopher Robin Sampson, 44, of New Sharon, has been charged with two counts of lascivious acts with a child (a Class C felony), two counts of indecent contact with a child, and four counts of lascivious conduct with a minor. According to the Mahaska County Sheriff’s Office, Sampson was arrested on that warrant Tuesday.

Sampson was an instructional coach and technology liaison in the North Mahaska district who resigned last week, prior to charges becoming formalized. An adult female submitted a complaint to police about alleged sexual abuse occurring from 2004 to 2015, and during the investigation, two more victims have come forward, accusing Sampson of similar behavior. Additional charges may be forthcoming, according to the Mahaska County Sheriff’s Office.
