Teacher charged with criminal sexual conduct, appears in court today

A Chaska high school teacher is accused of having sex with a student.

Julia Ozirski Lund has been a language teacher at Chaska High School for two years, but what happened with a 17-year-old didn't involve teaching.

"In any situation people are perceived to be an authority - a teacher, a coach, a boss on the job has to be aware of that. It carries with it special responsibilities and there are certainly boundaries," said Chaska High School Principal Paul McMahan.

But 28-year-old Lund is accused of crossing that boundary with a 17-year-old student. She is charged with criminal sexual conduct in the third degree.

According to a criminal complaint filed this week in Carver County, the student told police he first noticed Lund staring at him in the school hallway last school year. He was not one of her students.

This fall, he had a class next to her classroom and the eye contact continued. About a month ago, according to the complaint, Lund asked the student to call her and she allegedly sent him text messages.

Lund allegedly told the student her husband was away and she was lonely.

The student said he and Lund met at a park in Eden Prairie where, according to the complaint, Lund performed oral sex on him.

"There is one student involved. The teacher had access and contact as any teacher would to multiple students, but we have no indicators presently that there is more than one student victim," said Chaska Police Chief Scott Knight.

School officials say they found out about the alleged relationship after the student came forward. He spoke to a staff member and then to police.

Julia Lund teaches English as a second language at Chaska High School. Her resume, found on-line, shows teaching jobs in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Kiev, Ukraine. Authorities don't believe she targeted any other students, but hope anyone with information will come forward.

"These are always very emotional things to deal with. You have concern for the student's welfare, families and staff," said Principal McMahan.

Chaska High School sent a letter to parents this week to tell them about Lund's arrest.

She is now on paid administrative leave, pending the outcome of the criminal case.

Lund appears in court Friday morning.

Given the circumstances of her transgression, having a picture of the "visitor Entrance" arrow pointing toward her mouth is rather amusing....

The age of consent in Minnesota is 16. What's the hubbub?

"Julia Lund teaches English as a second language..."

From the sound of things, she's fairly adept with the French tongue as well....

I think it's kind of un-gentlemanly to willingly receive a BJ and then turn the woman in for it.

Monica and Kathleen Willey might disagree.

I think it might be a case of the student grading the teacher....

I think that at least some states forbid that kind of thing (student and teacher) regardless of the age of the sudent.

Nah, she's guilty. She's about a 5 beer number judging by her picture, and kids shouldn't drink.

Ditto. I had some great teachers, but most of them had faces that looked like they had been set on fire and then stomped out with a track shoe. On the flip side, I did get a pretty good education.
