Yea the W schools are so favored by mcps and so much well-resourced that mcps is sending their best employees exclusively to W schools.

Truly, are you stupid?

Your comment is “two more w schools arrests” as if this dude being employed at WJ is somehow a result of WJ’s problem inherent to being a W school and not the massive oversight of MCPS.

OIG told us MCPS has known that it has a systemwide background check problem that MCPS had known about since 2019 but hasn’t fixed.

Are we really surprised?

And if you really are such a big clown to think that MCPS “favors W schools”, if they are sending sexual predators to W schools, who are they sending to your school?

And yet schools still can not figure out a way to make their subs write their names on the board, or to inform the parents the names of the subs in their kids' classrooms when there is a sub, teacher aide (if not published on the school website) etc.. sheesh you would think they could figure out a fck ing way to do so!

I’m sure no one at the school knew anything. They wouldn’t protect this guy.
I’m more worried about whether there are now videos of my daughter circulating on the dark web. Hopefully he wasn’t selling the videos or posting them.

I would not be so confident about that.

Enough with the conspiracy theories. Kids reported it, and it was dealt with. The play is going on now, so it must have been fairly recent. I'm wondering where the abuse charge comes from. Wouldn't it normally be an exploitation charge if all he had were videos of kids changing?

I’m not aware of any Maryland law that defines or prohibits “exploitation” separately from abuse. There is a MD published appellate case saying that filming a minor changing after getting out of the shower is sex abuse of a minor even if there’s were no contact sex offenses. Very similar situation.

I think the PP was talking about a child pornography charge. Maryland does have a statute criminalizing possession of these materials, but I’m skeptical about its application here.

We’ll never know for sure what’s been done with the videos.

There are child victims here. What is wrong with you?

The letter sent to parents was very vague (no, I will not copy it here).
As the parent of a junior, I want to know how long he has worked there and if any other videos are recovered. My child recognized him immediately.

Here is the police statement

The timeline is interesting, I am sure there are details being kept out for now.

He has been there for a long time. I'm not going to quote from the rumor mill, but I won't be surprised if this has been going on for a long time.

Perhaps not for sure but they executed a search warrant at his house. They have all of his electronic devices. If he uploaded stuff to the internet or exchanged it in chat rooms, etc, there’s a good chance they’ll find evidence of that.

Yes, I am hearing that as well.

Yeah, I’m not sure that videos of kids changing clothes would be considered pornography. No sex acts and possibly not even nudity of private parts. It’s a violation for sure. It’s creepy/icky. But it’s not necessarily pornography.

The sex abuse of a minor case with the filming of a child changing after showering is pretty on point though. And sex abuse of a minor is a very serious felony.

They probably don’t know if there are other videos yet. It takes time to do a forensic search of a computer. Don’t expect an answer to that question immediately.

If you look at the comments on the WJ Pitch Instagram page, there is discussion of him being reported to admin well before this incident. Nothing was done.

I feel really bad for the wife and kid.
