WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — The case against a former Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools teacher accused of sex offenses with a student has been dismissed.
On Thursday, Forsyth County Superior Court officials confirmed with WFMY News 2 that the charges against Brian Jacob Weavil were dropped "due to insufficient evidence."
This case started back in 2019 when Forsyth County Sheriff's Office received an allegation of sexual misconduct by a teacher at Walkertown High School.
As a result of the investigation, deputies charged the teacher, Weavil, with felony statutory sex offense against a child, felony sex offense against a student, and felony indecent liberties.
The school system suspended Weavil without pay. He began working for WS/FCS in 2001, teaching at East Forsyth High School and then resigning in 2006. The district said he was rehired as a teacher at East Forsyth in 2007 and remained there until transferring to Walkertown High School in 2014. In 2018, he went on approved leave from his teaching position but continued to serve as a substitute teacher at Walkertown High.
Five years after the start of the investigation into him, the superior court dismissed his charges.
