Andre DeKok, a former Beloit Memorial High School teacher and coach, faces charges of sexual assault of a student by school staff and child enticement.
He has been married to Carmen and lived happily with their three children.
Andre DeKok retired from the Beloit Memorial High School in 2026 after a 30-year career. He has been arrested and faces serious criminal charges related to the alleged sexual assault of a student.
The Rock County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest after receiving an allegation in late 2026. A criminal complaint identifies four victims.
A judge set DeKok’s bond at $500,000. If released, he is prohibited from having contact with the victims, their families, or any minors. He is also barred from Beloit school property and cannot work as a teacher or coach.
On the other hand, if convicted, he faces a maximum of 25 years in prison for child enticement and six years for sexual assault. His next court appearance is scheduled for December 11, 2026.
A 61-year-old has been removed from his position as president of the board of Nature at the Confluence, a nature preserve in South Beloit, due to the allegations.
Authorities are asking anyone with information about the case to contact the Rock County Sheriff’s Office tip line at 608-757-7911.
I taught at this school for 33 years. The kids that learn here are amazing. This is not the first time something like this has occurred. Education is important. A very teachable moment here. It’s not just because it’s wrong, but understanding WHY it’s wrong. Stay positive BMHS!!
