A former South Robeson Middle School substitute teacher has been charged with multiple sex offenses that occurred over the past year. The suspect is currently serving as a non-faculty coach at the school.
Robeson County Sheriff’s Office investigators received recent information regarding a relationship between the teacher and student that started when she was in the 7th grade during the 2022-23 school year.
David Alexander Goins, 32, of Lumberton, was arrested and charged with statutory rape of a person who is 13,14 or 15 years old by a defendant who is at least 6 years older than the victim, statutory sexual offense of a person who is 13,14, or 15 years old by a defendant who is at least 6 years older than the victim, sexual activity with a student, indecent liberties with a student, and indecent liberties with a child.
Goins was placed in the custody of the Robeson County Detention Center with a $3,000,000.00 secured bond.
“Investigations such as this that involve children are simply disgusting,” said Sheriff Burnis Wilkins. “This suspect was in a position of influence over a 7th-grade student and utilized that position in taking advantage of it for his own desires. I have personally seen much of the evidence in this case, and it is sad and disturbing, and as I stated in a previous case, the evidence speaks for itself.”
“Our investigators are continuing to monitor social media sites and following up on tips regarding allegations such as this. We are asking that any student or former student who is a victim of sexual abuse or assault to please contact our agency or utilize our agency app, click on the school you attend, and follow the prompts for submitting a tip. I also encourage all parents or guardians to talk with their child and let them know this is not ok and to come forward if a similar incident has occurred. We are not here to judge them. We are here to help.”
