Trial set for former Lake City High science teacher
COEUR D’ALENE – A late summer trial is scheduled for a former Lake City High School science teacher who faces lewd conduct charges.
The Coeur d’Alene Press reported that a two-week jury trial is scheduled to begin Aug. 26 for Jeffrey Kantola.
Kantola is charged with lewd conduct with a minor under the age of 16. The felony charges can carry up to 15 years in prison.
Kantola chose not to enter a plea at his Friday arraignment in First District Court, so Judge Rich Christensen entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
According to court records, Kantola is accused of sexual misconduct with a 15-year-old girl on two occasions.
Kantola, who is not in custody, was assigned a public defender last week. His next court appearance is an Aug. 11 pretrial conference.
