On one trip, he stopped his truck on the side of the road, asked her if she loved him and pulled his pants down. That is sick. Roberts pleaded no contest to all charges Feb. 14, 1995. He served one year of his six-year sentence. Two weeks before Roberts entered his plea, Superintendent Land asked the state Department of Education to revoke Roberts' license temporarily.
State law allows teaching licenses to be revoked for felony convictions.
The return of this money has been and is a major issue with the local school board and community due to the nature of the resignation of Mr. Roberts. But it wasn't at the insistence of Land or the Omaha School Board. Land said he wasn't aware of the Nora Roberts case, even though it involved a student and teacher at his school. That's our only dismissal, and he's in the pen. We don't really have much of a problem here.
