-A former Abbotsford teacher accused of sexually assaulting two of his students appeared in Marathon County Court on Thursday for arraignment.Back in January of 2014, the Abbotsford Police Department began an investigation into allegations that 26-year-old Andy Follen of Spencer had an inappropriate relationship with some of his female students. After authorities interviewed the two female students, who admitted to engaging in sexual activities with Follen, authorities charged him with five counts of sexual assault of a student by school staff here in Clark County. He was also charged with bail jumping and intimidating a victim after he was caught contacting one of the victims in this matter.
Follen has also been charged with two more counts of sexual assault of a student by school staff after investigators learned of two more incidents that occurred in January of last year at Follen's home in Spencer which is in Marathon County.
Follen pleaded not guilty to the charges in Marathon County on Monday and he'll appear in court again in Clark County in May with a jury trial scheduled in June.
