(KAIR)--An area elementary teacher, accused of sex crimes involving a young student, appears in court.

KQ2-TV reports 27-year-old Cole Charboneau was arraigned Tuesday on charges of 1st degree statutory sodomy.

During Tuesday's hearing in Buchanan County Court, the judge ordered Charboneau to have no contact with minors while free on $50,000 bond.

Charboneau, a teacher at the Saint Joseph School District's Eugene Field Elementary, has been placed on unpaid administrative leave by the district.

He was arrested Friday following an investigation launched after the allegations were brought to the district's attention.

Court documents state the alleged crimes, involving a child under the age of 12, took place at Charboneau's home, between August 1, 2015 and February 1, 2017.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for January 25.
