Bemidji, MN (Learfield) - A former assistant principal at Bemidji Middle School faces two felony charges involving sexual conversations on social media.
The school board accepted Brandon Bjerknes' resignation just hours after he pleaded not guilty to posing online as a 13-year-old boy to have sexual conversations online with children.
The 34-year-old Bjerknes allegedly had email accounts and accounts on Facebook and Snapchat under a false name (Brett Larson), claiming he was a student at a now-closed Duluth school.
