Daniel R. Callan, 25, a 5th grade teacher at St. Bernadette School in Appleton, Wisconsin has been arrested on allegations that he sexually assaulted a 10-year-old male student.

Callan has been initially charged with 1st degree sexual assault of a child, two counts of exposing himself and one count of causing a child to view sexual activity. Police are continuing to investigate, saying there may be additional victims.

The prosecution says that Callan used conversations about sex in the classroom to groom one of his pupils for sexual encounters. It is alleged that when one boy said he didn’t know what sex was, Callan met with the boy on several occasions after class and showed him photos in a book about sexual topic. Prosecutors also say that Callan exposed himself to the boy, accompanied the boy to the bathroom, exposed himself, had the boy expose himself, and showed the boy how to masturbate.

Following his arrest Callan was initially held on $15,000 bond. He bonded out of jail Wednesday night.
