former physical education teacher at Shakopee Junior High School was charged Monday in connection with a sexual relationship he allegedly had with a 15-year-old female student.
James E. Solum, 28, who resigned Nov. 28, told authorities he had "developed a close personal relationship" with the girl, according to charges filed in Hennepin County District Court. He is charged with two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct.
On two occasions in September, the girl went to Solum's Eden Prairie apartment, where he had sexual relations with her, according to the charges.
Solum was in his second year of teaching at the junior high, said Shakopee Superintendent Jon McBroom.
McBroom said the district received a complaint regarding Solum about three weeks ago, but, he said, he couldn't discuss it.

Ex-teacher by one week.
15 -ugh- She's legal in some places.
What you want to bet he doesn't get three years of house arrest?
How many of those places end in -stan?
Wanna bet that the "I'm too cute" defense won't work? LOL
Hang him by his testicles!
Yeah, he resigned Nov.28th and had the sexual contact while a teacher in September.
This is every 15 year-old girl's dream! He should be given an award.
Well, whaddya gonna do? Kids are having sex younger and younger, and, unfortunately, some 15, 14 and even 13 year old girls are sluts. They are sleeping around and having sex, getting pregnant before they're 18. She shouldn't have had sex with the teacher, but he certainly should have known better.
Nobody's going to force morality on anybody in this world. If I had my way, there would be laws against any kid having sex until they were 18, and a law against having babies until after 18.
But that will never happen. Promiscuity is celebrated in this country and encouraged. Pass out the condoms and birth control.
Good grief! What in the heck is wrong with this guy? The girl is fifteen years old! My sexual desire for fifteen-year-olds ended about the time I turned seventeen.

------Because you are normal and have morals and are a decent man. I honestly think these are just your garden variety pedophiles with the title of Teacher on their resume. They figure out ways to get close to children and molest them while getting a paycheck.
...and don't forget the marijuana!
What in the heck is wrong with this guy?
pedophile.
