GREENSBORO — The American Hebrew Academy's former director of campus life is facing charges that he had sex with a student, police said.
Rabbi David Alan Stein, 35, is expected to turn himself in today, Greensboro police Sgt. A.T. McHenry said.
Stein left the school in the spring, shortly after police began their investigation, police Capt. Gary Hastings said.
Since then, Stein has been in San Clemente, Calif., living with his parents and working at an insurance company, McHenry said.
Stein is charged with eight counts of having sex with a student, McHenry said.
Police spent months investigating the complaint, seizing school computers to examine them for evidence, Hastings said. The order for Stein's arrest was issued last week, he said.
The incidents took place sometime during the 2006-07 school year on campus, Hastings said.
The student involved is a 16-year-old male, Hastings said. He did not know if the student was still enrolled at the school.
School officials alerted police after a student came forward with a complaint, Glenn Drew, executive director of the American Hebrew Academy, said Tuesday afternoon in a prepared statement. He said Stein was fired.
It was unclear Tuesday how long Stein had been working at the school.
"This has been a painful incident for the Academy community," Drew said, "but we remain committed to protecting our students and serving justice."
The co-ed boarding school serves 135 high school students and employs 80, school officials said.
Students come from all over the world to attend the Academy, which combines college preparatory and Jewish studies.
The school sits on a 100-acre wooded campus off Hobbs Road in northwest Guilford County.
McHenry would not comment on whether more students were involved or if further charges are pending. Hastings said the investigation is continuing.
"Of course," McHenry said about the student's family, "they want justice done."

No, the Rabbi David Stein in New Mexico is NOT connected to the Rabbi David Stein in the article.
David Stein is a common name and there is more than one rabbi with this name.
