OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — New Omaha Police reports list 30-year-old Gregory Sedlacek as the suspect in new sexual assault allegations against four more students at Fontenelle Elementary.

Sedlacek, a first-grade teacher at the school was arrested on December 3 for allegedly sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl on the school's playground.

The new reports show the new victims, four six-year-old girls who are students in Sedlacek's class, reported the assaults happened at the school near 52nd and Spaulding streets. All of the incidents were reported to police on the day of Sedlacek's arrest.

Investigators say Sedlacek has given them a list of other students he touched inappropriately at previous schools he worked at.

A judge denied Sedlacek bond and will remain in jail until his trial.

On Wednesday, the OPS Human Resources officer sent out a letter to Fontenelle Elementary parents saying Principal Eric Nelson is out on leave. The letter did not mention Sedlacek's name.

Sedlacek was placed on administrative leave on November 20.
