Five former students testified against him and said he had sexual relations with them.
Three were from Riverside High School, his most recent school, and two were his students eight years ago at Covington High School in Miami County. The current charges did not involve Covington.
Shook was also a teacher at Clark-Shawnee Local Schools beginning in 2007 until he was laid off in 2010, according to district records.
The allegations were brought to light after Riverside High School officials and the Logan County Sheriff's Office began investigating an incident where Shook was accused of spanking one of the alleged victims in class as part of a birthday tradition.
The 16-year-old girl complained to her mother and later admitted she had sex with Shook multiple times, including in a janitor's supply closet, weight room and teacher's bathroom.
Two other female victims came forward claiming they were molested by Shook.
After Shook's indictment and subsequent arrest were publicized in March, the Logan County Prosecutor's Office received reports that Shook did similar things as a teacher in Covington.
