UPDATE July 17 - The News & Advance reports that DeLoach's June 7 resignation was not connected to the allegations.
The school system was not aware of the allegations at the time of Deloach’s resignation, Blevins said.Bedford County Sheriff Mike Brown requests anyone with relevant information to contact the sheriff’s office at (434) 534-9521.
“We were dealing with him on something else,” he said.
The school system told Deloach that he was not to have any further contact with students after his resignation, Blevins said.
However, WSLS Newschannel 10 said Deloach took a small group of Forest Middle students to tour the Roanoke television station on June 18.
“He did that after he told us he wouldn’t,” Blevins said. “But see, school is out and if he did that as a private citizen, there’s nothing we can do about that.”
See the comments at the story. He has a wife and three children. The graphic details in the story disturbed one poster, but the sordidness is the reality. That's what Child Pornography is - a crime scene.
