NextImg:Teacher who used to be a TV actor charged with sexually abusing a student

A teacher who used to be an actor with parts in several major TV shows has been charged with grooming and sexually abusing a teenage student.

William Schaub, 56, acted in the 1990s and early 2000s — with parts in shows like “The Young and the Reckless,” “Will and Grace,” “Alias” and “Beverly Hills, 90210” — before turning to teaching at Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville, a quiet Chicago suburb.

He was arrested Thursday over accusations on felony charges accusing him of sexually abusing one of his female students, Naperville Police Commander Rick Krakow told NBC Chicago.

Police launched an investigation last month after receiving an anonymous tip, and uncovered sexual messages between the teacher and his student starting at least in November — with evidence it turned physical, the top cop said.

Schaub was arrested in a traffic stop near his home in neighboring suburb La Grange and booked into the Will County jail.

He was charged with one count of felony aggravated sexual assault, one count of aggravated sexual abuse and one count of grooming, according to police.

“Our investigation has not led to any information that would lead us to believe there’s another victim,” Krakow said. “However, if anyone does have info about this case or any other similar, we encourage them to contact the Naperville investigations division.”

Before becoming a teacher, Schaub held a number of acting roles in popular TV shows, with the final credit listed on his IMDB page the 2009 mockumentary “Thanks Dying.”

Schaub, who also worked in the theater department, had been an English teacher at Neuqua Valley High School in Naperville since 2013. The Naperville school district said they’ve been cooperating with law enforcement since learning of the allegations.

“School officials became aware of the allegations on March 7 after receiving an anonymous tip about inappropriate behavior,” Indian Prairie School District #204 said in a statement. 

“Upon receiving this information, District 204 immediately started an investigation, placed Schaub on administrative leave, and reported the allegations to the Naperville Police Department. “
