Beloit, WI – A retired Beloit Memorial High School teacher has been arrested following an investigation into allegations of sexual contact involving a former student, according to the Rock County Sheriff’s Office. Detectives say the case stems from information first received in late 2024 and has now resulted in formal charges.
According to the Rock County Sheriff’s Office, investigators interviewed several individuals and developed probable cause to arrest the retired teacher on allegations of sexual assault of a student by school staff and child enticement. The sheriff’s office noted that the investigation remains active and that additional witnesses or victims may come forward.
The suspect, identified in the official sheriff’s release as a 61-year-old Beloit resident, is scheduled to make an initial appearance at the Rock County Jail Court on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, at 3 p.m.
Detectives say they are concerned there may be more victims connected to the case. The sheriff’s office is urging anyone with information or concerns about the retired educator’s alleged behavior to contact the Rock County Sheriff’s Office Tip Line at (608) 757-7911.
The sheriff’s office emphasized that the charges outlined in the release are allegations and that, under Wisconsin law, the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court. The investigation is ongoing, and updates are expected as more information becomes available.
Residents in Beloit, Rock County, and the broader southern Wisconsin region are encouraged to report any relevant information to help support investigators as they continue to review the case.
