[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This guy always seems a bit off, we will never know if he did something or not, but I am glad he won't be teaching again.

Article details 2015 FOIA memo from FCPS (so after original court case/settlement):

“The Fairfax County Public Schools memo was written in 2015 and alleged Lanigan inappropriately touched and made sexual comments to some students. “The most egregious and jarring allegation involved Mr. Lanigan running his finger up the inner thigh of a 15-year-old female student,” the memo said. Lanigan denied the accusation, but another student and a colleague of Lanigan’s witnessed the incident, according to the memo (Recommendation for Dismissal and Revocation of Postgraduate Professional License for Sean Lanigan).

The memo said Lanigan also was observed by colleagues “holding hands with female students, providing unnecessary physical guidance [grabbing arms, putting an arm around them, leading them away for no obvious reason, hugging a student and tripping a student.]” The memo also said, “Students reported Mr. Lanigan as referring to a female student as his girlfriend, discussing female body parts with male students and engaging in a conversation with a female student about a vibrator.” Lanigan denied the accusations, but other staff and students confirmed witnessing the incidents, according to the memo.”[/quote]
