A teacher at Williams High School is scheduled to appear in Alamance County Court on Monday after being arrested on charges of sexual activity with a student.

Burlington Police say last Wednesday they were notified by administrators of an ongoing inappropriate relationship at Williams High School between a student and a teacher.

Investigators say 34-year-old Robert Carlsson Wooten, of Burlington, was allegedly having a “personal relationship” with a student of the school while he was employed as a teacher.

Wooten was charged on Friday with one count of sexual activity with a student by a teacher and one count of indecent liberties with a student by a teacher.

Multiple outlets are reporting Wooten resigned from Williams High on Thursday. He had been a social studies teacher at Turrentine Middle School – which feeds into Williams High – since 2005 and moved to Williams High in 2015.

Police say the investigation is ongoing and administrators with the Alamance-Burlington School System were assisting.

Wooten was released from custody after posting a $40,000 secured bond but is scheduled appear in court on Monday afternoon.

Anyone with information in regards to this case is encouraged to contact the Burlington Police Department at (336) 229-3503 or Burlington/Alamance Crimestoppers at (336) 229-7100.
