Former Teacher Faces Sex Charges

A former Guilford County teacher, Joseph Savoy, faces six counts of indecent liberties with students after allegedly targeting multiple teens at Smith High School. Arrested by Greensboro police, he appeared virtually from jail, with prosecutors citing at least six juvenile victims. Savoy, who worked for the district since 2022 but had his contract not renewed in June, also has pending charges in Orange County—including DWI, felony death by vehicle, and open container—dating back to October 2024. The school district has not yet responded to inquiries about any prior disciplinary action. He’s currently held on a $500,000 bond, with his next court date set for August 25.
