he Reno Police Department (RPD) arrested today 69-year-old William Weiser for open and gross lewdness.
“In May of this year, (RPD detectives) received a report from a 16-year-old female in reference to inappropriate contact the female had with her private music teacher,” according to RPD. “Through the course of the investigation, 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.”
