Troopers say a former student of Kenai Peninsula Education Association president Nathan Erfurth told investigators they began a sexual relationship when she was 17.
A Soldotna teacher and union president was arrested this weekend for sexual abuse of a minor. The incident, troopers said, occurred years ago while he was a high school teacher.
Charging documents say a former student of Erfurth’s reported years of sexual abuse to the Soldotna Police Department in April. Investigators with Alaska State Troopers said she reported knowing Erfurth since ninth grade when they developed a personal relationship while she was a student at Soldotna Prep and he was her teacher. Their close relationship was investigated twice by Soldotna police, in 2016 and 2017, but they brought no criminal charges.
In April, troopers say, they obtained a warrant and recorded a conversation between the former student and Erfurth, during which she told him she had kept a journal documenting their encounters, and that her partner had found the journal and planned to bring it to the police. According to troopers, Erfurth expressed anger and frustration about this, and said it would lead to him spending years in jail.
Clayton Holland, superintendent of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, said the district is aware of the charges. He said, “Student safety and welfare is the highest priority for the district. We are working closely with law enforcement in this investigation and are unable to provide further comment at this time.”
