RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) – A Granville County middle school teacher is behind bars and facing multiple child sex charges, according to the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation.
Bobby Scott Nealey, 50, of Wake Forest, was arrested Aug. 7 by special agents with the NCSBI’s Computer Crimes Unit, according to authorities.
Nealey, a 6th-grade teacher and wrestling coach at Butner-Stem Middle School, is charged with nine counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor.

Nealey is currently being held in the Granville County Detention Center under a $400,000 secured bond.
According to the SBI, the investigation is ongoing. If you have any additional information in the case, call the SBI at (919) 662-4500.
