An Iowa teacher who had just recently been married is facing criminal charges over allegations she sexually abused a 14-year-old and sent nude photos to boys as young as just 13 on Snapchat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cassidy Kraus, 24, resigned from her job with IKM-Manning Schools on August 25, just three days before her husband filed for divorce. They had been married for just 58 days.<\/p>\n
At the time, the school board announced that they were investigating alleged conduct by Kraus after a parent reported her for sending illicit materials.<\/p>\n
Last week, Kraus was arrested and charged with\u00a0two counts of lascivious acts with a child, three counts of dissemination of obscene material to a minor and third-degree sexual abuse.<\/p>\n
If convicted, the 24-year-old could face up to 33 years in prison.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition, Kraus was alleged to have ‘fondled or touched’ the genitals of multiple children.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
She’s also accused of\u00a0‘disseminat[ed] obscene material’ to a student in 2022 and two more in 2023.<\/p>\n

She attended school in the same district where she taught and allegedly committed these crimes, running on the track team. Kraus attended Iowa State University.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her first appearance in court was Thursday. She has yet to enter a plea.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
In Iowa, sexual abuse in the third degree is a felony punishable by no more than 10 years in prison in the state of Iowa and a fine of more than $1,370 but less than $13,660.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The committing lascivious acts with a child charge has the same punishment.<\/p>\n
The dissemination of obscene materials carries a sentence of up to one year and fines of up to $2,560.<\/p>\n
