(Wapello, IA) A former Spanish teacher at Columbus Community High School in Columbus Junction has been found not guilty of charges he sexually exploited a student. The Louisa County jury deliberated less than two hours last month. Prosecutors had argued that Eusebio Jimenez Junior rubbed the student’s leg in his classroom and made inappropriate sexualized remains to him in person and through text messages. The student told authorities he was uncomfortable with the way the teacher treated him because Jimenez is openly gay.
