MIDLAND, Texas — One current and two former Midland Christian School employees were arrested and indicted Thursday for failure to make a required child abuse report, according to court records.

Dana Ellis, Jared Lee and Matthew Counts all posted a $5,000 bond the same day they were arrested.

The accusations stem from an incident that is reported to have happened in November 2021, according to indictment paperwork.

The three were previously arrested for failure to report with intent to conceal neglect or abuse back in February 2022, along with two other employees, for separate accusations.

That assault reportedly involved a sexual assault of a student by members of the baseball team at Christensen Stadium in January 2022.

All five employees were later no-billed by a grand jury in May 2022.

In August 2022, the employees filed a federal lawsuit against the City of Midland and three Midland police officers, alleging the situation caused severe damage to their reputations and professional careers.

The city later filed a motion to dismiss that lawsuit.

Jeff Parras, attorney for Matthew Counts, sent out the following press release in response to the new charges:(on link)

MCS released a statement Friday expressing their support for Counts, Lee and Ellis and calling the charges false:

That is the problem with people like these. They always support the perps and not the victims.

“freshman initiation”?? Or hazing which is also illegal. That on top of sodomizing other boys? What kind of school is this? A rape academy?

Where’s the source for that?

The article leads to this, which references a hit to the head:


“That involved a kid hitting another kid in the head with a bat,” said Parras. “There were a number of kids in the classroom, half of them who saw it all said it was an accident, some that saw it said the boy with the bat actually apologized to the kid who got hit.”

Parras said none of the three that were arrested witnessed the incident.

“They weren’t present,” said Parras. “They learned about it after the fact. Two of them weren’t even at the school that day.”

The student was seen by teachers, a nurse, their parents and personnel at a Midland medical clinic that day, according to Parras.

“You have to wonder what their motivation is, why they hand picked these particular three individuals and no one else when you have at least half a dozen to a dozen adults who are required to report, including the boy’s parents and medical personnel,” said Parras. “Nobody reports it. Because it’s an accident, nobody should of had to report it, and yet they’re claiming these three individuals had some duty to report.”

It's not just these three involved. 5 were originally arrested. These three have been arrested AGAIN on another charge. I'm thinking there is more they are not telling us.

Something similar happened with the football squad at Steubenville Catholic High in Ohio and there have been other reports. Perhaps some former athletic team members here can explain the power of hazing/physically humiliating/degrading individuals. Does it really go beyond just sadistic pleasure in degrading another person for the sheer pleasure of doing it? Serious question.

Oprah explained it this way: “It’s not rape-rape if a tranny does it.”
