Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff Danker, today (Tuesday), said a warrant was issued Monday for the arrest of a teacher/coach with the Treynor Community School District. The warrant charges 44-year old Michael Douglas Travis with two counts of Sexual Exploitation by a School Employee, both of which are Class-D Felonies.

An investigation determined three separate females were victims in the case. Travis, a 5th grade teacher and Assistant Softball Coach, is accused of having inappropriate contact with former female students while the girls attended the Treynor High School. One victim, age 29, falls outside of the State of Iowa’s Statute of Limitations. The other victims, age 22 and age 27, fall within the timeline threshold for reporting.

Danker says on April 24th 2014, the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office began an investigation into Travis’ alleged activities after authorities were notified by Treynor School District Attorney Joseph Thornton that the School Board had received two separate letters written by former female students accusing Travis of inappropriate contact. Travis was placed on paid administrative leave from the district while authorities investigated the allegations against him.
