"Mr. Jindal has denied the allegations. We cooperated from beginning and gave access to Raleigh police of entire premises. They interviewed teachers and Mr. Jindal," a defense attorney said, according to the report.
"It is his intent to plead not guilty. On this particular day of the alleged incident, he was covering for another teacher who was out for lunch. There were at least 11 students in that classroom, and it was naptime."
Parents had a mix reaction, according to WTVD, with one not believing Jindal was guilty of the accusations. Another said she did not enjoy asking her child about any assaults.
Jindal is being held in a North Carolina jail on $2 million bond.
