He was a freaking teacher in addition to being a coach. 20 years in MCPS.
There will be more victims. He didn’t just wake up one day and decide to sexually abuse a minor.

There is something seriously wrong with the culture if this is true. It reminds me of another abusive adult in this area. The parents were in denial about it and when the person was first put on probation for an investigation they were organizing to defend this person. They even had meetings. Then the person was arrested, and found guilty. No one ever talked about it again.

If they didn’t know, trust me they are already destroyed. You wouldn’t need to attack them. I was already divorced when my XH pled guilty to sex crimes against female coworkers. It was devastating to my minor child and extremely humiliating to me because people assume I must have known. I had no idea and I’m the survivor of CSA so my radar for predators is actually overactive.
I am so sorry to you and your family PP. No body ever deserve this, not the victims and you are as well. Just unimaginable.

That is not what matters most - if the victim in the Whitman Crew team's parents are the Deputy Attorney General for Maryland and a Circuit Court Judge, yeah they're going to wield a lot more influence over parents who are a School Bus Driver and Clerk.
And yes, for a sport that costs $5,000+ a year per child for season practice, gear, uniforms, transportation, and extra lessons - I do expect the parents are of a high socio-economic class.
True in one sense but if they go far out of bounds for sentences from a previous case it will be appealed and tossed. So there is that.
Also the crew coach might hire Kavanaugh’s lawyer (can’t pull the name right now) and there might be no conviction. He said/she said. There better be physical evidence

Its not run by the school.
Whitman Crew, operated by Whitman Crew Boosters is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization. It is a club sport, affiliated with Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, Maryland.
You know that doesn't make it better right?
The school employed him as a teacher.
The PARENTS employed him as a coach.
Yes, I do. Just stating the facts. Never stated it made it any better. It is horrible.
What facts are you stating or defending?
Did anyone said it is run by the school? No
Is he a teacher at Whitman and a crew coach? Yes
What are you so defensive? What facts are you stating?
What facts are you stating or defending? Not defending anything again. Stating that crew is not run by the school.
Did anyone said it is run by the school? No - Yes - someone posted the crew website with no context.
Is he a teacher at Whitman and a crew coach? Yes - Agreed, never said he wasn't.
What are you so defensive? What facts are you stating? No defensive at all. Why are you so aggressive?
Nobody implied it was a sport run by the school by posting Whitman’s own web page advertising it as Whitman crew.
This is what you are not getting. This website is not run by the school and implying otherwise is false and misleading.

I thought the B-CC crew was better than Whitman anyway.
But Whitman really didn’t need more bad press.

Yikes - and apparently no one did anything about it.
PP - I just meant many rowers knew about this apparently. I doubt any adults knew. Sorry if that was the implication.
Still if the girls knew their friend was being raped they should have told somebody… police, counselor, parent.
