Ex-Iowa teacher convicted of filming student in restroom allowed to volunteer at school

[TexasTowelie]

A former Iowa teacher who in 1998 secretly videotaped a high school athlete changing her clothes has been allowed to volunteer in an eastern Iowa school district and coach a spelling bee program that works with students.

Trent Yoder, now 47, pleaded guilty to exploitation of a minor for recording the student in a restroom at an Anita elementary school, where he was a teacher.

Mid-Prairie school officials say they are aware of Yoder's felony record, but they won't bar him from working with students.

A Cass County judge sentenced Yoder, then 28, to the maximum 10-year sentence and ordered him to register as a sex offender.

1. A convicted sex offender "volunteering" at a high school?

What could possibly go wrong?

You really cannot make it his stuff up.

2. What does it take if being a registered sex offender doesn't ban you for volunteering around kids?

I don't get it.

4. Well unregistered ones can work at the White House...
