Huh?  A complaint 20 years ago that didn't result in charges being brought, followed by, so far as we know, no further incidents at his new school for 20 years, and you're surprised not everyone is taking the side that he should be fired when the original complainant learns he is still teaching and renews her complaint to the new school?

I get that plenty of sexual misconduct, especially with minors, goes unreported and is often rejected by officials when there is a problem.  But unless you operate under an irrefutable [b]presumption of guilt based on any accusation t[/b]hen it is reasonable both to question the basis for the allegations and the result they led to 20 years later.[/quote]

While not the PP I am surprised too.

According to the "lovely" email sent out by the head of school the teacher admitted to having an inappropriate physical relationship with the 14 year old.

I don't really care if charges were filed, dropped, etc.  When the pedophile admits to having physical contact I conclude he is guilty -- since he admitted it.  Frankly I don't care if there weren't other victims (or incidents as you called me).  Once is enough for me to make sure he isn't teaching children again, ever. [/quote]
