A former therapist at the Iowa State Training School for Boys in Eldora has agreed to enter a guilty plea to a charge of solicitation to commit a felony-the felony being solicited was sex with a student.
40-year-old Sarah Jean Perry was arrested in November of 2023 and was originally charged with solicitation to commit a felony, with sexual exploitation by a school employee, and with sexual misconduct with an offender.
The state had alleged that Perry provided contraband to as many as 7 residents she was engaging in sexual acts with.
The Iowa Department of Correctional Services is preparing a pre-sentence investigation report with a sentencing recommendation. Solicitation to commit a felony is a class “D” felony, punishable by up to 5-years in prison.
Her sentencing hearing is set for April 15th at 11:30am in Eldora.
