Richard Allen Pate, 62, a former teacher at Eastern Wayne Middle School in Goldsboro, North Carolina has reportedly been arrested on allegations that he sexually assaulted a juvenile at his home in August 1992.

Reportedly, Pate was arrested on charges of statutory sexual offense and taking indecent liberties with a minor and following his arrest was being held in the Wayne County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bond.

The charges came as a result of a report filed in February and police say the alleged victim was not a student at Eastern Wayne Middle School at the time of the alleged offenses.

According to WITN:

Wayne County Schools say Pate was hired in 1969 as a teacher and resigned a month after the alleged assault happened. The State Department of Public Instruction says Pate’s teaching license was revoked in May 1993 for having sexual conduct with a student. But the school system says there’s nothing in Pate’s personnel file to indicate he was under investigation for any sexual misconduct.
