A nurse practitioner charged with sexually abusing a teen is now connected to two more schools. Both Grand View University and Iowa Falls Alden Schools say Carl Markley performed sports physicals for their students. In an e-mail Friday to current and past Grand View students, President Rachelle Keck said…

“It has recently come to our attention that Carl Markley, a GV alumnus and nurse practitioner, has been arrested in Ames on charges of sexual exploitation of a minor, among other charges. Over the last few years, he has performed physicals at Grand View and a number of other schools. This is the first we have heard of these allegations and wanted to share what we know so far.

We have been in communication with the Ames Police Department and the Story County prosecutor’s office. Details are still emerging, but we want to bring this to your attention. If you are aware of any relevant information about this individual, or were affected, we encourage you to contact the Ames Police Department at 515-239-5533. You can also submit anonymous information via Central Iowa Crimestoppers.

Ames police have arrested Carl Markley twice in the last week. Officers now say more than 70 tips have come in about him. They don’t know how many of them are potential victims. Markley faces charges of sexual exploitation, human trafficking, pimping and prostitution.

Since his first arrest, Ames and Gilbert school districts told parents that Markley performed athletic physicals for some students.
