Wheaton North teacher suspended without pay following sexual assault charges

WHEATON — A Wheaton North High School teacher charged with the sexual assault of a former student has been suspended without pay by Community Unit School District 200, according to a district news release.

CUSD 200 officials were informed late Tuesday that Edwin Klemm, 43, of the 1100 block of Howard Street in St. Charles, was arrested Tuesday afternoon and charged with 11 counts of criminal sexual assault, according to the release. Klemm is an English teacher and former speech coach at Wheaton North. He was not arrested on district property.

It is alleged that between February and November 2011, Klemm sexually assaulted a 16-year-old female student multiple times at various locations, including movie theaters, his vehicle, a classroom and his house while his daughter was home, according to a news release from the DuPage County's State's Attorney's Office.
