FARGO (KFGO-AM) -- A fellow teacher has testified in the Aaron Knodel sexual misconduct trial that the former student who made the accusations against the popular teacher did spend a considerable amount of time with Knodel.
But at the same time, Shawn Krinkie said he never had any suspicions that something might be going on between the two. Krinkie's classroom is next door to Knodel's at West Fargo High School.
A close friend of the the ex-student has told the jury that she was suspicious about their relationship. She said her friend seemed depressed, started to lose weight and quit answering phone calls around the time of the alleged sexual activity five years ago.
Under cross examination, the woman said Knodel, who she described as one of the cool teachers, spent extra time with many students.
