A teacher at Williams High School has been arrested on charges of sexual activity with a student.
Burlington Police say they were notified by administrators on Wednesday 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.
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.
