DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A former Des Moines school district art teacher has been arrested and charged with having a sexual relationship with a female student. Television station KCCI reports that 50-year-old Jason Soliday was arrested Friday and booked into the Polk County Jail on a charge of sexual exploitation by a school employee.

Soliday remained jailed Friday afternoon on $5,000 cash-only bail. A spokeswoman for the district says Soliday resigned Thursday to avoid being fired.
