ELK CITY, Okla. (AP) -- A former Elk City middle school teacher charged with soliciting sex from students and with rape by instrumentation surrendered in Elk City Tuesday morning.

Prosecutors are charging 29-year-old John David Smithey with sex felony counts and he faces up to 60 years in prison if convicted on all charges.
