Lindsey Schneeberger, 24, was arrested on Thursday by the Rochester Police Department. On Friday, she was arraigned on three felony counts of criminal sexual conduct with a child under 14 by a person in a position of authority in the first degree.
A former teacher and coach was recently arrested and charged for repeat sexual assault of a teenager, authorities in Minnesota say.
Schneeberger coached volleyball and taught physical education at Pine Island Middle School, where she allegedly met and groomed the victim in the case, according to the Post Bulletin.
The sexual assaults are alleged to have occurred even after the defendant was no longer employed in education – between March 1 and May 15, and the charges allege that penetration occurred, the paper reported. On March 6, when she was still a teacher at the school, she was placed on leave due to the beginning of an investigation, Pine Island Public School Superintendent Tamara Champa said. Schneeburger resigned 10 days later.
“Any time we have any concern about students, we are going to react swiftly, always, and always make sure that students are at the forefront of every decision we make,” Champa told the paper.
After resigning, the defendant obtained another job in a school district roughly 13 miles due south.
The Byron Public School District reportedly only learned about Schneeberger’s charges on Friday – after her arraignment.
The student’s mother found text messages on her 13-year-old daughter’s cellular phone, which suggested an inappropriate relationship, according to the Rochester Police Department, Austin, Minnesota-based ABC affiliate KAAL reports.
The teenager was then interviewed by law enforcement and said that her teacher began grooming her in August 2022, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the Post Bulletin. The teenager said the sexual abuse occurred almost weekly earlier this year.
Schneeberger also allegedly sent nude images of herself to the girl.
