In May of this year, Detectives with the Reno Police Department Sex Crimes Unit received a report from a 16 year old girl in reference to inappropriate contact the female had with her private music teacher. Through the course of the investigation, police say, it was discovered that the music teacher, who has been identified as 69 year old William Weiser, had inappropriately touched the victim since April of 2016. Weiser met with Detectives on Monday July 18, 2016 and was placed into custody for Open and Gross Lewdness.
Sex Crimes Detectives do not believe that this was an isolated incident as Weiser was a suspect in a Sexual Assault in Reno several years ago, and believe there may be more victims who are hesitant to come forward.
The Reno Police Department is asking anyone who may have been a victim of William Weiser or who may have more information about this case to contact the Reno Police Department at (775) 657-4601, or Secret Witness at 322-4900, www.secretwitness.com, or text the tip to 847411 (TIP 411) keyword – SW.
