ONTARIO, California (AP) -- -- A substitute elementary school teacher was charged Friday with lewd and lascivious acts involving a 10-year-old girl, and police said he claimed to have molested more than 100 students.

Eric Norman Olsen, 28, of Ontario, told detectives that he molested between 100 and 200 elementary school students since becoming a teacher three years ago, said police Detective Diane Galindo. He was scheduled to be arraigned August 8.

**SNIP**

The probe began on June 13 after a male student allegedly witnessed Olsen molest the 10-year-old girl and told school officials, Galindo said. Olsen did not have a criminal background.

Police were asking the public to help identify whether there were other possible victims by contacting local police or school districts.

I don't disbelieve any of this, but when and where do guys like this find the opportunity to molest these kids? And why aren't they telling their parents or another adult! Yikes! Oh, and hang the guy.

On why the kids aren't telling parents or another adult -- because an authority figure (pervert teacher) has told them not to. The kids think it their fault, something they did to invite or deserve this abuse.

I know it sounds crazy, but as a formerly abused child that is how I thought and felt.

No, it doesn't sound crazy at all. But it makes me realize we must do more to give kids the confidence to tell. I am a teacher, and I am surprised how easy it apparently is for someone to do this stuff. It makes me ill.

You got that right.. If someone did something like that to one of my kids I would rip them apart limb for limb.

A very disturbing story -- but why would Eric Olsen tell police that he molested 100 to 200 students? Is he looking for some kind of record in the perverted sicko category?
