From KTIV:
Court papers show Cuperus allegedly had sex with a then 15-year old student of the Boyden-Hull Public School, where she works. O’Rourke says the incidents took place at Cuperus’s house and car. “It is alleged on one of the incidents in May 2005, the defendant picked up the student in her vehicle and drove that student to the home and that some sexual activity did take place there,” O’Rourke said.
Court documents also show Cuperus had sex with the student 15 to 20 times during the current school year.
By that time the student turned 16, the legal age of consent in Iowa, but officials say the alleged relationship still violated the law.
“School employees are in a special role with the students in the school,” O’Rourke said. “No matter the age of the employee or the student, there should not be sexual conduct between the two.”
Cuperus received an e-mail from Boyden-Hull, this week, asking her not to come in. Superintendent Steve Grond released a statement saying the school notified authorities, which lead to the investigation.
He also said Cuperus will remain on paid leave with the district until the issue is resolved… adding that the district may not know all the information in the case and will make no judgment on her guilt or innocent.
Cuperus is still getting paid! That’s hilarious.

I work at Boyden Hull and everyone who knows Kelly, knows she is not guilty. She is a wonderful, happy, and caring person, who would never think to do something like this. She will probably be suing the student for slander. The student is known for being a compulsive liar, and they will catch him in his lies. He is required to draw a picture of her bedroom as he remembers it, and he will not remember what it looks like as he has not been there. Be kind with your words to those who are not guilty.
The school was the one to turn her in. Some in the community are trying to turn this in to a good family vs. bad family kind of thing. Yes, I was shocked when I first heard it, but all that says is I guess she was really good at hiding her true self. If it is proven that she had ANY inappropriate contact with this kid, she deserves everything she gets. My boys will not be allowed around her until theres proof she’s innocent.
Her face is a war crime!
Your face must be really bad then!
The school did not turn her in. If you dont know the truth then dont say it. How do you know if she is hiding her true self? Do you know her? I bet not! It is so sickening hearing people “talk.”
Didnt your mother ever teach you if you dont have something nice to say dont say it? What happens when she is found innocent? Think about that? I bet not! That would be too nice huh!
Hey Tami & Mikeb,
You guys have alot to learn. I feel sorry for your boys Tami.
Mike, You havent seen war crime until you see what is going to happen after she is found innocent.
Cuperus gave her pay check to the church, which proves to me that she was right, & has shown “HER TRUE SELF” when she said she never worked for the $. She worked because she truly cared.
Tami,
Do you think its Cuperus’ fault for turning this into a good family vs. a bad family? Facts are facts & nothing will change that. I believe you KNOW the truth. And by the way, Im sure she doesnt want to be around your boys anyway! I feel real sorry for you.
I am just sickened by Tami and Mikes comment. I would like to see how wonderful you would look after being lied to by your local sherrifs department and getting arrested of a crime you did not commit. I can see by the way that Kelli looks she is just sick and saddened by the way she has been treated. The only crime Kelli has ever commited is being too caring. Kelli has a wonderful husband and a awesome family. Kelli and her husband now that is the picture of true love, Her husband has been by her side throughout this entire ordeal. I think the people that are talking against her they should take a good look at the evidence… A election year a county attorney that loves to see her name in print and on the news, a county attorney that fires her assistant because he is going to run against her (can we say insecurity) Kelli is a good person with a big heart. Kelli has high moral values and would not do the things she is accused of. I would trust my children in her care with out a doubt.
Amen Sara! Way to go.
Whether you believe it or not, I am actually a friend of Kelli’s. And although I believe she’s a wonderful person, she really messed up. No matter what the outcome of this is, she needs to be open with everyone about the part she played in this, and the reasons why. But in a town like Hull thats really hard to do. You don’t admit to making a mistake like this and expect people to be lining up in church to give you hugs(ain’t that right Paul and Sara). Kelli & Lyn both know the truth about her inbvolvement in this, but they also know the repercussions from the majority of people in this town. Those people that so caringly support her now will turn their backs in a second when they find out the truth. And if Lyn chooses to stay he will be the town fool, just like Marge Vander Esch. The high and mighty people in this town, sure don’t practice what they preach, instead they try to keep their own dirty little secrets hidden, and claim they are one of the “good” families. As far as my boys are concerned they have been around Kelli numerous times since than, I spoke out of anger, that she could do this to herself and everyone that cares about her. No ones kids are in any danger from her this was an incident between her and one young man. When the truth comes out I will still care about her. How many of you will actually still be there, with more than just a quick “hi” as you go into your little groups to talk shit.
Tami,
I am a true friend of Kellys.
First of all, IF you were a friend of Kelly, like you say, you wouldnt think shes messed up.
Second, she is very open about all of this to the people she NEEDS to be & is not allowed to be open about it to anyone else, for court reasons. Where did you go to school anyways? Thirdly,you act like you KNOW she is guilty. If you are soo sure, then why dont you put your REAL name on here & turn her in so you can be a witness? The DA would like that! Oh noooo….Its too much fun being 2-faced to her,huh? Fourthly,you think she doesnt know who her REAL friends are? Think again, they both know. Your foolin’ yourself. Fifthly, its a lie that your boys have been around Kelly numerous times. I know that for a fact. How do you know there arent more boys out there that claim Kelly is a sexual predator? You dont know…so dont tell me this is between her & 1 person. You say no kids are in danger around her anymore but Lynn will be the town fool if he stays. Man, you make alot of sense! You change your story as much as the accuser does!
Sixthly,I bet you didnt know she offered to take a lie detector test & her accuser refused. HUH? See, you dont know as much as you think. That is only one thing out of hundreds of facts that you have no clue about.
Seventh,I dont believe Kelly expected or asked for a line up of people to hug her at church. That just goes to show how much her church family supports her family no matter what. Sounds like your jealous to me.
Eighthly, Kelly & Lynn have a great marriage & everyone knows it. Its too bad 8 out of 10 couples cant say that. He is not a fool, he is a true christian who loves his wife & kids.
Ninethly,I know her & Lynn are christians & dont let out to claim they are “high & mighty” or one of the “good” families. What is your definition of a “good” or “bad” family “Tami”? Did you know God sees everyone as equal people? You need to get to Sunday School child!!!
I feel that Tami is hiding behind a alias if she has so much to say why doesn’t she come out and be open?? I would also like to know what kind of evidence you have Tami to make your claims??? You do not have anything to back your self up do ya?? You know why you don’t?? I DO its because it never happened, I know Kelli personally I have probally known Kelli longer than most. Kelli is not the kind of person to cheat lie and commit adultery. Kelli is a strong christian with good values. As far as Lynn goes lets see he is a deacon in the church a great daddy a wonderful husband and he is a owner of a business.. a fool I think not. I also failed to mention Lynn is a great friend and a fun person to be around but Lynn is not a fool he would know if Kelli was messing around, Kelli and Lynn do everything together, along with their kids. I would like to see what your background is? I am comming to the conclusion that maybe envy is the root of these malicious comments. If you have the guts to post these comments have the guts to use your real name. Remember this “those who live in glass houses should not throw stones”
Sounds like he or she does not have the balls to say his or her real name, that tell ya something?
We found out who “Tami” is. People dont realize Kelly has got some very good people working for her. I think “Tami” knows that Kelly & her family know WHO she is too!
Have a Great Day Everyone!!!
Who is it?? do tell everyone that reads these bogus posts that “Tami” is posting want to know!!
Until there is a trial you can only speculate as to what the truth is. I do not know about most of you people but I sincerely beleive the defendant is still innocent until proven guilty. Additionaly, I would advise a word of caution as to those who are certain of her guilt and say as much or write as much. If the defendant is found to be in fact innocent of all claims against her then she may have a cause of action (slander or libel) against those who said as much. Furthermore, I hope that if she is found innocent, that she takes the individual responsible for these accusation to civil court for defamation. If this is the case she will likely be awarded damages.
i know the guy she slept with and her. I know she is guilty. i saw them together, i saw almost all the texts and emails. i have seen them together and i know they had sex. dont for one second believe that she is innocent. her husband left her because she did cheat on him with the student
Wow, I don’t know whats going on in her head, but now she accusing her husband of abusing her. Now how are any of you going to defend that? There is no way Lyn would have ever hurt Kelli or anyone else before this all started. And Mike K., are you kidding, thats like digging in the bottom of the barrel!! Kelli please get help before you lose everything you have ever had. You are, or at least WERE, better than this.
Wow, she admitted she had an affair with this kid which didn’t stop until she got caught. And he was the liar?! And now she gets probation, big surprise.
she is guilty of the charges. this is her ex-husband and she did do what she is accused of!!!
Kelli & her attorney have proved beyond a doubt that there was no sex involved. So give up the negativity people. She is a good person who got caught in a bad situation. Move on to some better rumors.
Her husband beat her & her children. People have witnessed his anger & alcohol problem. He chose his alcohol over his family & has made that a public choice.
Thanks.
Dave
And now she gets caught breaking probation. Big surprise! The best thing for those kids would be to lock her up and get them away from all of the chaos she has caused in their lives. She does not deserve to be a mother!
