About a week ago, he was let out on bond after being arrested following a police investigation — investigators told News 3 the victims are former students.

Green taught at Churchland High School and coached girls basketball at Western Branch High School in Chesapeake. He is currently on administrative leave from both schools.

Following Green's arrest, Churchland High School Principal Jennelle Burden sent a message to the school's community.

"While this is a police matter, I am sharing this news with you in order to reiterate what I shared with you last fall. This is a difficult and heartbreaking subject matter for us all: students, staff and families. Our school counseling team remains available for anyone who may want to talk," the message reads.
