A preliminary hearing for his possession of child pornography charge is scheduled for Sept. 28. It is not yet clear when Wellbeloved-Stone will have his first hearing on the new charges.

On Monday, city police Major Gary Pleasants told a crowd of about 50 people at a community meeting at CHS that the victim in the case was younger than high-school age, and that photos recovered from the July 25 search of Wellbeloved-Stone’s home depicted the victim in a “school setting.” Pleasants said it was unclear what school the photos were taken in.

Wellbeloved-Stone has been a teacher in the region for more than two decades.

He was employed by Nelson County Public Schools from 1989 to 1994, before going to teach at the Living Education Center for Ecology and the Arts, an area private school.

Sometime in 1995, he began teaching science at Walton Middle School in Albemarle, according to a county schools spokesman. He then moved to Charlottesville City Schools in 2002, and remained there until his suspension.
