As part of a plea agreement, a former Pella band instructor has received probation for charges in Floyd County.

Benjamin Thompson, 32, also has to register as a sex offender and has a suspended 10 year prison term. He pled guilty to sexual abuse in the 3rd degree earlier this year for a series of incidents in 2011, in which he had sex with a then 15 year old student in Charles City.

Thompson had a status hearing in Marion County that was scheduled for today delayed to April 15th. He is accused of enticing a student in May 2014 at Pella High School. Thompson was charged with three counts of sexual exploitation by a school employee, one of which is a class D felony.
