From KATC -

Joshua Krieg, 27, is accused of having inappropriate contact with a juvenile.
Lafayette Police Cpl. Paul Mouton said police are not releasing the age of the juvenile or where the juvenile is a student. He said the investigation began following a complaint from a parent about inappropriate sexual contact between Krieg and the juvenile.

KATC says LPS records, Krieg resigned from Comeaux High School on January 7th.

St. Thomas Moore Rev. Richard Greene with the Diocese of Lafayette says Krieg's arrest is not connected in any way to his employment at STM.

St. Thomas More Catholic High School is aware that on Wednesday, January 21, 2015 the Lafayette City Police arrested Mr. Joshua Krieg for questioning involving misconduct with a juvenile. The arrest of Mr. Krieg is not connected in any way to his employment at STM. Mr. Krieg was hired only seven days ago as a temporary teacher replacing a teacher on maternity leave. Appropriate background checks were conducted. Mr. Krieg has been placed on administrative leave pending the conclusion of the investigation. We are, of course, cooperating with the law enforcement investigation. We have no further information at this time.

Krieg is being held in the Lafayette Parish Jail on a $40,000 bond as of this morning.
