A Naperville high school teacher has been granted pre-trial release after allegations arose of an inappropriate relationship with a student. As reported by WGN-TV, William Schaub, 56, an English teacher at Neuqua Valley High School, was arrested last Thursday and is now facing multiple felony charges, including aggravated criminal sexual abuse and grooming.
According to WGN-TV, Schaub was taken into custody at a traffic stop near his home. The accusations against Schaub became public knowledge after Naperville police received an anonymous tip on March 7. An investigation ensued, revealing electronic messages of an inappropriate nature exchanged between Schaub and a female student from November 2024 through March 2025.
School District 204 released a statement saying, "The Naperville Police Department has informed us that Neuqua Valley High School English teacher William Schaub was arrested and charged with multiple felonies related to incidents involving a current student. School officials became aware of the allegations on March 7 after receiving an anonymous tip about inappropriate behavior. Upon receiving this information, District 204 immediately started an investigation, placed Schaub on administrative leave, and reported the allegations to the Naperville Police Department," as stated by FOX32 Chicago. The released statement also underscored the district's commitment to student safety and their cooperation with the ongoing investigation.
Following the arrest, Schaub was initially booked into the Will County Jail. He has since been released on electronic monitoring ahead of his preliminary hearing, set for April 25, as per FOX32 Chicago.
