BRUNSWICK, Ga. -- A 26-year-old Brunswick elementary school teacher has resigned amid allegations of child molestation, authorities told First Coast News Tuesday.

William C. Lewis, 26, of Brunswick, was arrested Tuesday on two counts of child molestation, according to the Glynn County Sheriff's Office.

An arrest warrant says the incident occurred at the "It Takes a Village" summer camp on July 6. Lewis allegedly touched and rubbed a ten year old boy and asked him if "this type of touching felt good."

Lewis, who was hired as a first grade teacher in July 2012. He was slated to teach second grade classes at Altama Elementary this year. He was placed on leave following his arrest, a spokesperson for the Glynn County School District told First Coast News.

Lewis also served as a youth pastor at First Jordan Grove Baptist Church in Brunswick and was scheduled to lead a bible study Wednesday night.

The same spokesperson said "appropriate steps are being taken with the Georgia Professional Standards Commission."

Lewis will appear in court at 2 p.m. Wednesday.
