(KAIR)--A former teacher for the Leavenworth School District is going to prison, sentenced last week in Leavenworth County District Court to more than 10-years of incarceration for child sex crimes.

That's according to a release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, which says 55-year-old Jerome Riscovallez, last month, was found guilty of two counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child after pleading no contest to the charges, with the release saying "each count involved three victims, for a total of six victims," two aged 8, three aged 9, and one aged 10.

According to court records cited in the release, the investigation that led to the arrest and conviction of Riscovallez began earlier this year, on February 25, when "a Leavenworth police officer was dispatched to investigate a report of a juvenile being inappropriately touched at school," with prosecutors saying he sexually abused six students in his classroom between August 1, 2023, and February 25, 2025.
