Suburban Chicago high school teacher charged with grooming, sexually abusing student
William Schaub, 56, of La Grange, was charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse and one count of grooming. He worked as an English teacher at Neuqua Valley High School.
School officials were notified by Naperville police on March 7 that they had received an anonymous tip accusing Schaub of engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a female student.
The Will County Child Advocacy Center's investigation into the tip found inappropriate electronic messages between Schaub and the student sent between November 2024 and March 2025. Evidence of inappropriate physical contact between the two in December 2024 was also found.
The school, in a statement, said Schaub started teaching in District 204 in 2013 after "successfully completing a criminal background check."
"Upon receiving this information, District 204 immediately started an investigation, placed Schaub on administrative leave, and reported the allegations to the Naperville Police Department."
The school said they will be providing services for those who may need support.
"Student safety is always the district's top priority, and the district is fully cooperating with the police in their investigation. We appreciate the collaboration of the Will County Child Advocacy Center, the Naperville Police Department, and the Will County State's Attorney's Office on this matter."
Schaub was arrested by Naperville Police during a traffic stop near his home on Thursday. He was taken into custody without incident and later taken to the Will County Jail.
No further information was immediately available.

WATCH: Agents rip down vulgar anti-ICE sign amid Trump DC takeover: 'Taking America back'
As federal authorities carried out over 100 immigration arrests following President Donald Trump's takeover of Washington, D.C., law enforcement, agents videoed themselves ripping down a vulgar anti-ICE sign in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood. "We're taking America back, baby," one of the agents said as he crumpled up the sign. ICE posted the video on its official X account on Sunday amidst widespread federal law enforcement operations in D.C. that have resulted in well over 300 arrests, including over 100 immigration arrests. The video showed just over half a dozen masked agents ripping down a sign with Spanish and English writing that said, "F*** ICE" and "Mount Pleasant Melts ICE." Doj Investigating Possible Dc Crime Data Manipulation Amid Trump's Crackdown On Violence Speaking in Spanish, one of the agents shared a message, saying, "This is for America. The United States is No. 1." Read On The Fox News App "We're taking it back again," he added. In its post, the agency added, "ICE is dedicated to removing criminals from American cities, and D.C. is no exception. Make D.C. Safe Again!" This comes as federal officials from ICE, DEA, Border Patrol and other agencies have flooded portions of the city as part of Trump's crackdown on rampant crime in the nation's capital. Members of the National Guard have also been deployed along with military tactical vehicles to critical points in the city, including the National Mall and Union Station. 'Defend The Homeland': Dhs Unveils Striking New Ice Fleet To Boost Recruitment, Visibility Trump federalized the Metropolitan Police Department on Aug. 11 in response to a spate of high-profile killings and attacks, and a crime wave in the district that has persisted since 2020. Trump federalized the local police department under section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which allows the president to assume emergency control of the capital's police force for 30 days. Washington, D.C., is one of several cities and jurisdictions with sanctuary policies in place. Under Trump's federal takeover, however, all of that is changing. Speaking on Fox News, Trump Border Czar Tom Homan said, "D.C. under federal control is not going to be a sanctuary city." Ms-13 Gang Member Arrested In Dc As Bondi Touts Admin's 'Extraordinary' Crime Crackdown Homan said, "We're working with the police hand-in-hand — and when we encounter a criminal illegal alien, they'll be turned over to ICE, and that is the way it should be." "I'm not saying that every illegal alien in D.C. is a criminal. But many are, so these are people we're going to focus on. An illegal alien criminal safety threat in D.C. is not going to be protected. There's no sanctuary for these people in the city of D.C."Original article source: WATCH: Agents rip down vulgar anti-ICE sign amid Trump DC takeover: 'Taking America back' Solve the daily Crossword

Illegal immigrant trucker accused of killing three people failed English, road sign tests: DOT
The illegal immigrant truck driver who is accused of causing a crash in Fort Pierce, Florida that killed three people failed English and road sign tests during the investigation into the wreck, officials said. Harjinder Singh, who crossed into the United States illegally in 2018 via the southern border, obtained a commercial driver's license in California. He attempted to obtain work authorization, but it was rejected by the first Trump administration on Sept. 14, 2020, according to Tricia McLaughlin, Homeland Security assistant secretary for public affairs. "During [Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's] interview with the driver, investigators administered an English Language Proficiency (ELP) assessment in accordance with FMCSA guidance," the Department of Transportation said in a statement. "The driver failed the assessment, providing correct responses to just 2 of 12 verbal questions and only accurately identifying 1 of 4 highway traffic signs." The DOT indicated that the investigation began on Aug. 14, two days after the crash. Singh has been charged with three counts of vehicular homicide. He was arrested in Stockton, California on Saturday. According to the DOT, Singh was issued a regular full-term commercial driver's license in the state of Washington in July 2023, but that illegal immigrants are not allowed to obtain this type of license. A year later, Singh was issued a limited-term/non-domiciled commercial driver's license in California. The DOT is investigating further whether the issuance of that license followed federal regulations. On July 3, the New Mexico State Police pulled Singh over and conducted a roadside inspection of him. He was given a speeding ticket, but not subjected to an English language proficiency test, which was required by law beginning on June 25. Singh allegedly made a U-turn in an unauthorized area on the Florida Turnpike, causing his truck to jackknife and collide with a minivan. The three occupants of the minivan died in the crash. The crash sparked a bitter spat between the office of California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and McLaughlin, as Newsom's office tried to wriggle its way out of responsibility for Singh's work permit. "Hey, genius: the federal government (TRUMP ADMIN) already confirmed that this guy meets federal and state immigration requirements -- YOU issued him a work permit (EAD). As usual, the Trump Administration is either lying or clueless," Newsom's office said in a post on X when criticized by McLaughlin. "False. Harjinder Singh is in the United States illegally and his work authorization was rejected under the Trump Administration on September 14, 2020," McLaughlin replied. "It was later approved under the Biden Administration June 9, 2021. The state of California issues Commercial Drivers Licenses. There is no national CDL." A spokesperson for Newsom told Fox News Digital that Singh was reissued a work permit on April 9, and once again blamed Trump. "Why don't you ask Trump about the driver's federally issued work permit and when he entered this country?," the spokesperson said in a statement. "Spoiler alert: it was in 2018 under Trump — whoops. He would have been eligible in any state. California followed federal law, something the President knows nothing about." "In fact, the driver in this case was reissued an Employment Authorization (work permit) on 4/9/2025 and, if my math is correct, that falls within the current presidential term," the statement continued.
