The Wichita Police Department has arrested 39-year-old Rodney Wren of Wichita for three counts of unlawful sexual relations. Wren was a High School teacher at Wichita Collegiate School.
Last month, WPD Officials were notified of possible sexual relations occurring between Wren and a former teenage student at Collegiate. Wren was arrested on Friday following an investigation.
The school issued the following statement:
The arrest of Rodney Wren, Sr., is extremely disturbing to our Wichita Collegiate School community. After previously learning of law enforcement’s investigation, Mr. Wren was placed on administrative leave. With his arrest, Mr. Wren has been terminated from Collegiate.
Collegiate has been fully cooperating with authorities and will continue to do so. Our school has zero tolerance for any unprofessional conduct that falls below the standards we expect from our employees. The safety of our students is – and always will be – paramount.
We are contacting various local organizations who can help our school community better understand and combat the issues of sexual harassment and sexual abuse. We want to ensure that our students have all the resources available to them so that they feel supported, protected, and informed.
