New trial scheduled for April 2024
Additional alleged victims have come forward Police reaching out to public https://www.fox5dc.com/news/new-trial-date-set-for-former-montgomery-county-elementary-school-teacher-accused-of-sexually-abusing-students |
| How many kids did this guy sexually abuse in his classroom? |
one abused child is too many. this should be a simple but tedious investigation for police. That is, Obtain the class roster if all the years the teacher was at the school,and contact each student about the inquiry. |

I feel a lot of rage about him being released and the conviction overturned due to ineffective assistance of counsel. Does anyone know if he had a public defender or private counsel during the first trial? What were the factors in ineffective assistance? It's infuriating that they have to go through this all over again for that reason. I hope the kids involved don't have to testify again (hopefully prior testimony/depositions may be re-used).
This makes me so angry for all the kids and families involved. Just awful. |
I agree. Such a horrible situation for the families. |
find out who the teacher’s ineffective attorney was and file a complaint with the state bar. Doesn’t matter if his atty was pvt or pub. Their conduct was unconstitutional. |
Does that apply to the Montgomery County prosecutor too? Because they screwed up too. https://parentscoalitionmc.blogspot.com/2023/09/john-vigna-v-state-of-maryland.html?m=1 |
What does "conduct was unconstitutional" mean? |
That the conviction was vacated. |
More victims came forward from 2011 and new charges filed. Bravo to these brave children. The Board of Education can get ready to settle more cases. $$$$$$ |
Using taxpayer money. Don't get me wrong - I think these victims should be compensated. Just be clear that we're the ones paying for it. |
| You voted in the Board of Education that keeps sexual predators in classrooms. You should pay. |
| He’ll be back in the classroom next year. MCPS is a mess |
It's the anti-racist thing to do. |
+1 and our kids |
