According to police, Norman Jermain Roberson, 36, is accused of engaging in an inappropriate relationship in 2015 with a 16 or 17-year-old student while he worked as a math teacher and director of musical programs at Fountain Inn Christian School in Fountain Inn, S.C. The alleged crimes took place between April and November 2015, according to a report by FOX Carolina.
Roberson was charged earlier this month by Laurens County Sheriff’s Office for similar incidents and now faces six additional counts of sexual battery after an investigation. He is believed to have had illegal encounters in several locations in South Carolina, including Simpsonville, the city of Greenville, and Greenville County.
Roberson has worked as a youth pastor at Word of Life Church in Simpsonville since 2019, according to his LinkedIn profile. He also was a youth pastor at GoChurch in Greenville for two years before his time at Fountain Inn Christian School, where he claims he worked from March 2015 to June 2016. His profile also says he is married.
The investigation into Roberson’s alleged actions in 2015 remains ongoing by the Laurens County Sheriff’s Office.
