EVERETT, Wash A private school principal from Arlington has been charged for allegedly having sex with a 14-year-old student.
The Snohomish County Sheriff's Office says the 37-year-old is charged with one count of third-degree child rape.
Detectives have been investigating since June when the girl's parents reported her as a runaway. The sheriff's office says the girl's principal had allowed her to sleep at Heritage Christian School instead of reporting her whereabouts to authorities. Earlier this week, the girl told detectives she'd had sex with her principal while she was staying at the school.
The principal was arraigned Wednesday and has been booked into the Snohomish County Jail on $100,000 bail.
Detectives say they do not know of any additional victims.
Rape is Rape.
Double standard noted.
Sounds like statutory rape.
Yeah the may have said she had sex with the principal to jam him up. Not all cries of rape are true.
The McMartin case was in southern California.
BTTT
The Power To Harm. I've met a few of these folks since, esp. Pastor Roby.
This is tragic! I just can’t figure out what is going nowadays. It seems many adults have a lack of control and morals.
This is hard to see as an attack against Christians in general. According to the parent article, the principal violated a restraining order that prohibited contact with the girl. The man is at best naive - only a fool is ever alone with a youth who is not his son or daughter. Such precautions are the only way to remain above reproach. If the allegations in the article are true, this man is what the apostles warned of - a wolf out to devour the flock and blaspheme Christ and the Gospel. The elders responsible for this institution need to run their own investigation and take the the appropriate action if church discipline is warranted (and the article suggests that it is...)
Maybe, maybe not. What does the principal say?
Whether it is a government school, private school, or some ordinary citizen, I am always cautious about these she says, he says.
Were there e-mail messages? , text messaging?, letters?
The article does say there were no other girls molested.
Go to the link and read the entire story.
I read the entire story. The “facts” are unclear. I’ll wait before deciding.
Hope this is a false allegation. Enough is enough regardless of gender.
This is something of a surprise, as it took place in a private school, not a public one.
I hesitate to ping the list when it’s just allegations.
When it goes to trial, and he’s convicted, I won’t have any trouble pinging it.
There was a FReeper who told about a friend of his who gave a girl in his science class a grade she deserved on a test. She tried to get even with him and was caught planting a pair of her panties in his car.
That poor guy almost had his whole life ruined by a bratty little 14 year old. If she hadn’t been caught doing that, he’d be history.
Of the people I personally know who have been accused of sexual abuse, none were guilty. One was my ex-s-i-l who later admitted to me that she accused my brother just to keep him away from her and her little girl. She admitted to me that she lied. Grrr. Good for him that she’s an ex. She didn’t deserve him and he didn’t deserve to have to put up with her.
also, there was an order of protection against this guy for this girl! how does that happen and he still has his job?!?
Sadly, that it happened in a private school doesn’t surpise me at all. At age 8, one of my classmates was molested by a school employee at our Catholic school back in the 1970’s.
