Kernersville, NC -- A Bishop McGuinness teacher accused of sexual misconduct is no longer employed by the school.

The teacher, whose name will not be released by the Diocese of Charlotte, was suspended Sept. 5 after a former student alleged sexual misconduct. The student said the incident occured at the teacher's house in 2001.

In a letter dated Feb. 2, 2009, the Diocese of Charlotte's superintendent of schools and Bishop McGuinness' principal said, "The investigation by the Review Board of the Diocese of Charlotte has been completed and a recommendation was forwarded to Bishop Peter Jugis. Following the recommendation, the teacher has been relieved of all teaching duties and is no longer in the employ of the Diocese of Charlotte."
