Nelson is not the only Fontenelle staff member currently on leave. Gregory Sedlacek, 30, was placed on administrative leave after he admitted to sexually touching a 7-year-old girl earlier this month. Tuesday evening, Omaha Police released reports saying therewere six total first-grade girls targeted by Sedlacek this school year.
