Stephen Larkin, the 30-year-old West Bloomfield High teacher arraigned in 48th District Court Friday on three counts of criminal sexual misconduct, will be back in court on Oct. 1.
According to a report in The Oakland Press, Larkin on Wednesday waived his right to a preliminary exam within 14 days of his Sept. 13 arraignment. The Farmington Hills resident remains free on $10,000 bond. He faces three counts of fourth degree criminal sexual conduct.

Employed since 2006, he served as head coach for the girls golf team and taught history before being placed on administrative leave in May. Larkin previously coached basketball and football.
