Robert Louis Rosseau, 37, reportedly an eighth-grade science and information technology teacher at Christian Academy of San Antonio in San Antonio, Texas has been arrested on allegations of sexually assaulting of two teenage girls.

Rosseau is reportedly charged with sexual assault of a child, with bond set in the amount of $100,000.

The arrest warrant affidavit indicates that a female student who attends another school told police that she was asked by two other girls to join Rosseau’s secret society, referred to as the “order” which was based on the occult, magic, freemasonry and Christianity.

The affidavit further indicates that the girl was told by the pair that to be a member of the society, she would have to be ‘intimate’ with the director, identified as Rosseau, in order to establish trust.

Reportedly, the girl was allegedly being pressured to have sex with Rosseau because he was “receiving pressure from his superiors to have her submit to him” and she went to police. After police were told the girl had been in contact with Rosseau through computer chat room emails, police obtained permission from the girl’s family to collect her home computer.

The two alleged victims initially denied any sexual contact with Rosseau, however one of the girls allegedly told her parents that she had been engaged in a sexual relationship with Rosseau for 10 months and told investigators that the friend who had recruited her had been having sex with Rosseau since 2007.

Reportedly, Rosseau is no longer employed by the school and remains jailed in lieu of bond.
