Alton teacher arrested, accused of having a relationship with a student from 1998 to 2000

ALTON, Ill. — A teacher at Alton Middle School was arrested Wednesday in connection with a 20-year-old sexual assault case involving a student.

Alton police said William C. Ingersoll was charged with one count of criminal sexual assault and one count of aggravated criminal sexual assault in connection with the case.

Police said they began their investigation after a former student came forward about a relationship she said she had with Ingersoll from 1998 to 2000. The woman said she reached out to a trusted former teacher after hearing a story about a different teacher being charged with sex crimes.

The high school teacher then alerted the school district which then called the police.
