DATELINE: PEARISBURG LENGTH: Short
Timothy Myers, 27, of Ripplemead, was arrested at Eastern Elementary School after school hours Feb. 10. He was released on $15,000 bond.
He faces three charges of aggravated sexual battery and one charge of forcible sodomy.
Myers was a first-year teacher. He also was a scoutmaster and basketball and soccer coach in Giles County.
Myers resigned from his teaching position in April, according to Bob McCracken, Giles County school superintendent.
No evidence was presented in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Monday after Myers, who is represented by John Quigley of Christiansburg, waived his right to a preliminary hearing. The four charges will be forwarded to the next grand jury to consider for indictment. The grand jury meets July 13.
At least some of the incidents are alleged to have occurred at a Giles County cabin in January.
In addition to his teaching job, Myers was a basketball and soccer coach, assistant recreation director for the town of Pearisburg and scoutmaster for Pearisburg's Boy Scout Troop 34. He was removed from his position as assistant recreation director for the town of Pearisburg shortly after his arrest. And the district Boy Scout office in Charleston, W. Va., also removed Myers from his scoutmaster post.
