   A teacher at a South Carolina high school was removed from the   
   classroom after he was arrested for sexually abusing a minor.   
      
   Emergency action was taken to suspend the teaching certificate   
   of Robert Eugene “Gene” Valbert, according to the S.C. State   
   Board of Education.   
      
   “It is alleged that Mr. Valbert fondled the genitals of a young   
   male under the pretense of performing a medical exam,” on   
   multiple occasions, according to the state board. The abuses   
   occurred in 2016 and 2018.   
      
   Because the state board said Valbert posed “a threat to the   
   health, safety, and welfare of students,” he is no longer   
   teaching Health Science at Colleton County High School.   
      
   The school is located about 50 miles from Charleston in South   
   Carolina’s Lowcountry.   
      
   “It is a top priority of the district to ensure the safety of   
   our students and staff and we take all allegations seriously,”   
   Colleton County Superintendent Dr. Franklin L. Foster said in a   
   news release, WCSC reported.   
      
   The school district placed Valbert on administrative leave after   
   he was arrested Dec. 5 by the Richland County Sheriff’s   
   Department, the state board reported.   
      
   Valbert was charged with two felony counts of criminal sexual   
   conduct with a minor, according to the state board, and remains   
   under investigation by the Richland County Sheriff’s Department.   
      
   It is unclear why Richland County is leading the investigation,   
   since the high school is located approximately 100 miles from   
   the South Carolina capital.   
      
      
   On his teacher-biography page, Valbert said he is also a nursing   
   student at USC Beaufort, with the hope of transferring to the   
   University of South Carolina’s main campus in Columbia.   
      
   In his biography, Valbert said, “Nursing, Teaching, and Ministry   
   are major passions,” and he is a native of Colleton County.
