The principal at St.Helens school in Oregon has surrendered to the Columbia-County Sheriff's Office on felony criminal charges amid a damning child sex abuse scandal. Dr. Kathryn Wagner, 45, was booked into Columbia County Jail on Nov. 27, records show. Authorities told local media that Wagner turned herself into law enforcement Wednesday morning.
Wagner, the principal of St. Helens High School, was indicted Tuesday by a Columbia-County grand jury on two counts of felony first-degree criminal mistreatment, two counts of first-degree official misconduct, and two counts of second-degree official misconduct, court documents show. She has been accused of failing to disclose child sex abuse allegations and intentionally withholding essential and adequate physical care from the minor student victims, detectives with the St. Helens Police Department said following a lengthy investigation. The school district placed Wagner on administrative leave on Nov. 15, along with district superintendent Scott Stickwell. The principal's arrest follows a two-month probe into a history of minor sex abuse complaints at St. Helens HighSchool. Under Oregon's mandatory reporter law, public officials and civil servants are required to report minor sex abuse allegations to law enforcement, which Wagner reportedly refused to do.

The district was subpoenaed by Acting Police Chief Joseph Hogue of the St. Helens Police Department for records related to Collins and Stearns. The records indicated that the district failed to disclose numerous reports of inappropriately touching students over the years. Students have condemned the school board for maintaining silence regarding allegations of maltreatment for an extended period of time.
Additional information regarding Kathryn Wagner is being sought by investigators. Mandatory reports that may not have been finalized are of particular concern, authorities said. Anyone who may have further information on the matter is urged to contact St. Helens Detectives Smith and Edwards by calling 503.397.1521.

She belongs in leg irons.
And the school district should be sued into bankruptcy. 10 to 1 the superintendent knew about it and either assisted or looked the other way, which is in itself assistance.
i wonder what St.Helen would think of her actions...

You can bet the Teachers Union will support the abusers.
She appears to have e the same doctorate as Dr Jill Biden, so I can’t believe she’s actually a criminal POS
Looks like the students were a sexual smorgasbord for school admin, teachers and coaches.
lol......nice catch.
....wonder what drjill knew about her own school..../s.......
My grandmother’s name was Catherine Wagner (not Cathryn though). She died in 1930.
Liberal school systems.. kind of like pedophiles in churches. It’s expected and epidemic.
Then I retired.
They have been covering up these crimes at LA Unified in Los Angeles for Many years and nobody has ever been charged for their roles in the raping of children, they just get transferred.
I’d bet she is defiant and believes she did nothing wrong.
What a great “educator”. Hopefully, she will receive Justice for her crimes. Is she also a sexual predator?
Looks like a ditz
