An Omaha teacher is accused of having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old former student.

Police say Brian Robeson, 35, was arrested Tuesday to face charges of two counts of sexual assault of a juvenile.

Officers also interviewed the victim and her parents, according to the Omaha Police Department, before taking him into custody.

The details of this matter are confidential as required by law, but Omaha Public Schools takes any concerns and complaints regarding the conduct of our employees seriously.  Mr. Robeson is no longer employed by Omaha Public Schools.'
