VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A social studies teacher at Ocean Lakes High School has pleaded guilty to a sexual abuse charge against a child.
Court records show Robert Weisenbeck admitted to sexually abusing a child in his custody or supervision in the summer of 2016. Authorities say the abuse did not happen at school.
Virginia Beach police say someone filed the report last November and after an investigation, Weisenbeck was arrested in New Jersey in December.
Virginia Beach City Public Schools said Weisenbeck was suspended without pay, pending the outcome of his criminal case. He hasn't taught since before winter break.
A school division spokesperson said Weisenbeck retired, effective March 29, which was one day before his guilty plea.
He's scheduled to be back in court for a pre-sentencing hearing on August 1.
