Colorado administrators indicted for suspending student who reported sex assault by teacher

A female student who told school administrators she'd been sexually assaulted by a teacher was suspended and then forced to apologize to the accused perpetrator and hug him, according to an indictment against three Colorado school officials handed down Wednesday.

Principal David Gonzales, Vice Principal AJ MacIntosh and counselor Cheryl Somers-Wegienka of Prairie Middle School in Aurora, Colo. were named in the indictments, FOX31 Denver reported.

The Cherry Creek School District informed parents MacIntosh and Gonzales were placed on administrative leave “pending the outcome of the court proceedings.” Somers-Wegienka stopped working at the school before the indictment.

The indictment stems from the unidentified teen's 2013 report that she was being sexually assaulted by Brian C. Vasquez, who has since been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting and exploiting students.

The girl said she reported the allegations to MacIntosh and Gonzales, however, the two administrators told the student the allegations would ruin Vasquez’s family and career and stressed what a "valued teacher" he was, the Denver Channel reported.

This principal and vice principal should do some serious time behind bars for protecting a child molesting teacher.

Hyphenated females in education seem to have an appalling track record on a par with nicknamed 30s mobsters like Baby Face Nelson.

The pertinent question: Was she lying?

If you read the whole story the teacher has admitted to molesting students.

From the article ......

“But in August, Vasquez, 34, was arrested for allegedly sexually exploiting students. The teacher, who had been employed at the school for seven years, told police he sexually assaulted a student and others, the Denver Channel reported.

Vasquez faces “at least 31 felony counts,” court documents stated, though he originally faced eight felony counts for charges of abuse and sending nude photos to underage students. Vasquez was a social studies teacher at the school but has been placed on administrative leave.”

Brian C. Vasquez, who has since been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting and exploiting students.

Reading avoids the obvious.

Amen to that, and if she has uncles they should help.

It sounds like she admitted to lying and therefore, she apologized and hugged him. Bizarre.

Apparently not, since the article cites an admission.

The expression “its for the children” has an entirely different and perverse meaning for too large a segment of our population.

So glad my kids are out of school, but my grandkids are just starting and I am even more further removed. I pray for them.

I'm very penurious with my click-throughs lately.

I want to know where Hillary Clinton stands on this. This girl SHOULD have been believed, it SHOULD have been investigated, he SHOULD have been taken to jail, and if guilty done time. Instead, the people who knew about it covered it up and hid the evidence, allowing the serial abuser/rapist to go on and continue to ruin womens’ lives over and over and over...while those in power protected the guilty to protect their own future career goals. Sound familiar, Hillary?

And if you don’t get this...you must be a “feminist” who voted for her in the last election.

“It sounds like she admitted to lying and therefore, she apologized and hugged him. Bizarre.”
****************************************
She was criminally PRESSURED into the false “admission to lying”, forced to apologize to her abuser and, perhaps worst of all, forced to hug her abuser. It would be sweet if the school administrators who were protecting the sexual abuser could serve some jail time in addition to being fired from their jobs.

He was ‘too important’ to dismiss over ‘just sex’.
