At least 181 K-12 educators charged with child sex crimes in first half of 2022 - Reddit: Uh, actually, teachers are hero’s. Now show me bussy for an easy A.

https://www.foxnews.com/us/181-k-12-educators-charged-child-sex-crimes-2022

At least 181 K-12 educators, including four principals, were arrested on child sex-related crimes in the U.S. in the first six months of 2022, ranging from child pornography to raping students.

An analysis conducted by Fox News Digital looked at local news stories week by week featuring arrests of principals, teachers, substitute teachers and teachers’ aides on child sex-related crimes in school districts across the country. Arrests that weren't publicized were not counted in the analysis, meaning the true number may well be higher.

The analysis found that at least 181 have been arrested between January 1 and June 30, which works out to exactly an arrest a day on average.

The 181 educators included four principals, 153 teachers, 12 teachers' aides and 12 substitute teachers.


At least 140 of the arrests, or 77%, involved alleged crimes against students.

Men also made up the vast majority – 78% – of the arrests.

Many of the arrests involved especially heinous allegations.

Roger Weaver Freed, the 34-year-old former principal at Williamsport Area High School in Pennsylvania, was arrested in June and charged with sexual contact with a student, corruption of a minor, furnishing liquor to a minor, sexual assault and aggravated indecent assault without consent.

Freed is accused of having a years-long sexual relationship with a male student.

Shannon Hall, a 31-year-old former teacher at Jamaica Gateway to the Sciences High School in New York City, was arrested in June and charged with forcible touching, endangering the welfare of a child and aggravated harassment.

Hall is accused of grabbing a 14-year-old female student's breast inside his classroom and of sending texts to a 16-year-old student that said he wanted to have sex with her and threatening to kill her if she told anyone.

Norman Merrill, a 45-year-old former teacher at Green Mountain Union High School in Vermont, was arrested in May and charged with production of child sexual abuse material and possession of child sexual abuse material.

Merrill is accused of secretly video recording female students walking past him at school and of producing videos showing nude children.

Anessa Paige Gower, a 35-year-old former biology teacher at Making Waves Academy in Richmond, California, was charged with 29 counts of child molestation on April 8.

Gower is accused of sexually abusing seven students between 2021-2022 when she was a teacher at Making Waves, with allegations including forcible sodomy of minors and sharing sexually graphic photos over online platforms

John Doty, a 35-year-old former biology teacher at Career Academy South Bend in Indiana, was charged with two counts of rape, one count of attempted rape and six counts of child seduction on Feb. 9.

Doty is accused of repeatedly raping a 16-year-old female student and threatening to kill her. He is scheduled to stand trial in January 2023.

The analysis comes after the U.S. Department of Education released a report last month, titled, "Study of State Policies to Prohibit Aiding and Abetting Sexual Misconduct in Schools," which analyzed state policies prohibiting "passing the trash," or allowing suspected sexual abusers to quietly leave their jobs to possibly offend again in a different school district.

A bipartisan provision of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), which was originally proposed by Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, requires all states receiving federal education funding to enact law prohibiting the practice of "passing the trash."

The Education Department’s report, however, found that laws against the practice are varied across the states, and that while all states require prospective employers to conduct criminal background checks on educators, and most states – 46 – require fingerprinting, only 19 states require employers to request information from an applicants’ current and former employers.

Moreover, only 14 states require employers to check an applicant’s eligibility for employment or certification, and 11 require applicants to disclose information regarding investigations or disciplinary actions related to sexual abuse or misconduct.

Toomey, who pressured the Education Department to release its report for months, said he’s "deeply concerned" by the findings.

"While I appreciate that the Department of Education has finally fulfilled its obligation to investigate whether states have implemented policies, laws, or regulations to stop the heinous practice of ‘passing the trash,’ I am deeply concerned with these findings," Toomey said in a June statement. "Any educator who engaged in sexual misconduct with a child should be barred from ever teaching in a classroom again, yet too many states do not have policies to ensure that is the case. Releasing this report is only the first step—the department must hold states accountable and use the tools at its disposal to enforce the law."

Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, called for a new national study on child sex abuse in schools.

"This is a scandal that the political Left is doing everything in its power to suppress," he said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The basic fact is incontrovertible: every day, a public school teacher is arrested, indicted, or convicted for child sex abuse. And yet, the teachers unions, the public school bureaucracies, and the left-wing media pretend that the abuse isn't happening and viciously attack families who raise concerns."

It's time to take this problem seriously," he said. "I call on Congress to appropriate $25 million for a national study of child sex abuse in public schools, so victims can finally get justice and parents can have greater confidence that schools will be safe for their children."

The Department of Education last released a report on the topic in 2004, which claimed that nearly 9.6% of students are targets of educator sexual misconduct sometime during their school career.

Ah yes, let's exploit students further by going for the money grab. They'll do a "study". Right. That will solve everything.

It's pretty simple--there need to be consequences for schools that protect offenders and pass the trash, along with consequences for students who decide to get cute and falsely accuse someone. The district and personnel need to be fined/have the threat of being fined. There's nothing schools hate more than losing money.

 

[Fish Fudge]

I always knew I was correct in having zero respect for teachers, now I just have a much more horrifying reason to continue thinking they're worthless.

Men especially. There's something seriously wrong with the kind of man that would choose teaching as a career.

Home school your kids, if you have them.

 

[AMHOLIO]

Do you think everyone who hates niggers is secretly a nigger too? Lol

I mean, if you're on /pol/, the answer is yes.

I think the Women teachers are doing things differently.

 

[Baggywrinkle]

I don't know of any profession, aside from nurses maybe, that fellates themselves as much as teachers. Or whatever the female, sorry, vagina-having version of fellates is. Maybe it's due to the overwhelming ratio of females, vagina or penis havers, to men. Since at least the early 80s teachers have been pushing liberal agendas and complaining about not making enough money. And now they essentially deem themselves as more important and authoritative than parents. Maybe it's time to start the ATAB movement and kick some of these idiots off their pedestals.

Consequences for the unions too. I know people tend to flinch when Project Veritas is mentioned but they were on the frontlines to expose this shit enough that even Democrats did something about it.

Imagine how awful you have to be that the Democrats will listen to Project Veritas.

Less people died in mass shooting incidents than were raped by teachers. Go figure. We should ban teachers.

News articles like this are why my fiancée and I are definitely going to homeschool our kids when the time comes.

"everyone who hates fags is gay!" classic

Considering the likes of Nick Fuentes and Ted Haggard, there is a reason why that particular stereotype exists.

Conservative "Traditionalist" Christians who go above and beyond in being extra extra extra vocal about their hatred of fags to the point that's almost all they talk about are like the right-wing version of male feminists.

Granted, Fred Phelps was the major exception to that rule but that's because he was an attention-whore and a grifter first and foremost.

To be fair, I don't think you're gay but I do think you're a complete and total faggot.

Your traditionalist LARP is just a gimmick meant to be edgy and it's honestly cringe as fuck.

Except that sexual abuse towards children is more frequently reported- and those reports acted upon- than 'regular' sexual assault. Children are far more likely to be assaulted by a relative or 'family friend' than a teacher.

What about teens being groomed? There was a case were a coach was discovered to be in a relationship with a student and this was uncovered because couch cuck shot and killed the girl and her mom dug though her phone later. Who knows how long that relationship would have continued otherwise.

I also know a few teachers who are married to former students and it's pretty sketchy when the relationship may have started.

 

[Paul Pelosi's Boyfriend]

It's not a problem that "doesn't exist," but it is extremely exaggerated to scare gullible retards like you into vilifying teachers, schools, and education in general.

Actually it's a very intelligent political strategy meant to decrease the power of the teachers unions and therefore eventually make schools better.

This isn't some epidemic plaguing the nation- it's a problem certainly, but one that has actually been reduced with abuse awareness campaigns, improved reporting methods, and shifts in cultural attitude. In 1989, around 43% of high-school graduates in North Carolina reported being the victim of sexual comments, looks, or gestures by teachers. A similar survey about 15 years later- in 2004- had 10%. As much as people in this thread would like to joke about it, the founding of organizations like RAINN in '94 and the 2000s initiatives by the Childrens Bureau really did significantly improve the cultural attitude towards child welfare, and in particular, sexual abuse. While I think every kid having access to a phone and the internet since age 5 is overall bad, I would wager it has been the next big step in the reduction of abuse (even if we account for the increase because of cesspools like Discord, Twitter, and Reddit). It's become increasingly difficult for districts to just sweep reports under the rug when students can put them in hot water with just a few keystrokes.

I agree it's not an epidemic, but it was something that was always there in various degrees. I think the numbers only got reduced simply because the predators started going underground the more awareness shed light on the issue. This is what happened to To Catch A Predator where the more episodes they made and aired, the more savvy and aware the predators got to the point they were catching less and less people over time. This didn't make the predators go away from the Internet, and in fact, the rise of social media made things much worse in the long-run because the predators learned quickly how to camouflage themselves and some have even climbed to high places to take over and abuse their power to continue preying on children.

So how do we know these places haven't been co-opted over the years and they're hiding more of these reports than ever before?

Outside of schools, the rise of the internet has allowed groomers access to children at an unprecedented level. Now you can access children in the safety of their own home. Tiktok, Roblox, Minecraft, Discord.





Now combine this, with the indoctrination of kids into postmodernist thought through schools and online. And you end up not only with grooming victims. But also children willingly offering themselves.

Like any crime, it's the low hanging fruit that get caught. The smart ones know how to get away with it, just like any other crime. And the teacher's unions probably help hide the ones that aren't so obvious. Remember the lengths they went to to protect that student in Loudon County, imagine how far they'll go to protect a pedo teacher with the "right" views.

 

[Exigent Circumcisions]

You're correct, and you'll have to forgive me since I just woke up to some schizo pinging me about his inane pedo obsession.
I actually did try to do the first but victim privacy laws mean it's very hard to get numbers on victims of sex crimes versus gun crime, particaurly when they are underaged, and even more so to find anything as recent as 2022. I'd be interested in seeing the latter but I really can't be arsed to put any more energy into this than I've already wasted.
I'm just tired of people who are downright obsessed with kids getting raped without actually showing any real concern or desire for a solution like @MarvinTheParanoidAndroid . This isn't some epidemic plaguing the nation- it's a problem certainly, but one that has actually been reduced with abuse awareness campaigns, improved reporting methods, and shifts in cultural attitude.

It's become increasingly difficult for districts to just sweep reports under the rug when students can put them in hot water with just a few keystrokes. The next issue to tackle would be the one presented in the article- the rehiring of accused teachers by different districts, or "passing the trash." It's the same tactics police use- make the the problem quit instead of addressing them and hope someone else catches the heat when they inevitably fuck up again somewhere else.
I'm also immediately suspicious of people who make it their life's work to point fingers- like blue-checkmark Twitter warriors who harangue against anime or something and then get busted for having an HDD full of horrible shit. I'm sure someone knows the exact guy I'm thinking of, but I can't remember his name. There's also been a more recent category of people who do this- politicians using it to push dubious shit into schools and on children, on either side of the aisle.

Just stop fucking kids, dude. It's not hard.

 

[Falcos_Commisar]

I've said it before: woke public schools are like the new religious schools.


Just like a church can protect a molesting clergyman. Wokeism really is a new religion.

(It also seems to be pretty much the state religion in leftist-run places like "blue states" and a number of European nations.)

Correct

These days due to declining church attendance, a child is more likely to be molested by a teacher, coach, or similar than a religious figure.

I'm not sure which is worse, your refusal to accept that people reject your degeneracy and therefore must be larping, or that now it's considered edgy to hold traditional values in high esteem. It's depressing that your warped mind is not alone in your views.

I was thinking of making some bait-laden shitpost response to this overly verbose purple prose rant, but it's honestly just not worth wasting the time. We'd just be going in a constant circle of snippy thread-derailing posts and angry internet stickers like an autistic ouroboros.

I'm getting married in March to a woman that I've been going out with for over a year now and not only that, she wants us to start a family together. She is the love of my life and I've decided to settle down with her. In an ironic twist, I'm inadvertently becoming more traditional in my lifestyle but for her, it's worth it.

Legit question, do you have a wife or a fiancée? Do you ever plan on getting married and starting a family of your own?

Thank God you spared us both that fate. Also, that really is great, congratulations. I honestly thought you were gay.

Marriage? Maybe if things improve for me. It's definitely nothing I'd just jump into, supporting a family is tough.
