I know someone that happened too at a private school in Bethesda, the police rushed, took him in handcuffs, face was all over the place on the web. They went on a child telling their parents something happened. It turns out she was angry with the teacher for something else and case was dismissed but parents were slamming him on line and everything. They sold him down the river before investigation. Judge dismissed it immediately.

Montgomery County PD has never arrested a teacher for abuse just because one child goes to them saying that man did whatever to me. They need more than that to press charges and you know it.

Fool, Believe what you want too, but he was fired, taken off premises by police, the kid’s parents got involved with lawyers and the judge dismissed it in 2 minutes. His exact words to the prosecutor was ‘I’m not sure what you’re doing here’. His face was all over the internet and he was innocent so guess what, You’re wrong.

+1. “He groomed the community” to me means he pulled the wool over their eyes, and they fell for it. Not one adult stayed vigilant. The perp was 37 years old. Aren’t senior “trained” administrators supposed to be smarter than him? Apparently, their sex abuser out-foxed them all for 15 years.

Is there no hope for the future of the school when the most prevalent response seems to be “it can happen anywhere”. Is there nothing administrators can do about preventing the next predator from assaulting their students?

If a coach gets arrested, do you not let your kid be coached by males anymore? Yes, it can happen anywhere, o matter how trained the staff is, certain people slip through the cracks, unfortunately and yes, anywhere and everywhere. There are private schools right here in dc, that have dealt with this, too

Please name one single DC area school dealing with *continued* teacher sex abuse scandals. Zero.

Are you new to the dc area? Look it up, as there was a photography teacher from a very prestigious dc school that was on the fbi most wanted list after it was found out he had inappropriate pics of students on his phone.

Do you understand the word *continued*? Like at Gilman.

They aren’t harboring pedofiles and it’s not a continued there, either. They just had a couple unfortunate people working there but to harbor them, seriously?

We did privates in Bethesda for a long time, but don’t remember that one. Which school?

The school has an excellent reputation and I’m not going to name the school because there isn’t a point to it, but it happened about 7 years ago.

Good that hiring pedophiles isn’t an ongoing issue for them.

What was an issue was firing an innocent man before an investigation even took place.

Again, I said CONTINUED teacher sex abuser issues. I don’t know of one single school beyond Gilman that has the expose of two teacher pedophiles, and immediately has yet another one coming on board. Or did they actually overlap?

I didn’t say “harboring pedophiles”. You did.

2 teachers in 80 years doesn’t really say they have an ongoing issue. We hear about the Catholic Church way more in the News than Gilman

Please name the year(s) that Gilman did NOT have a pedophile teacher on its payroll.

Crickets.

We just think you’re insane.
