Teacher Gets 24 Years for Molesting O.C. Boys

Courts: The former instructor argued that the youths were framing him, but a judge doesn't buy it and gives him the maximum term.

A former elementary school teacher who molested boys in two Orange County school districts was sentenced Thursday to 24 years in prison after the victims' parents spoke of how the crime devastated their children and violated their trust.

The parents said they thought Jason Abhyankar, 28, was helping their three boys--only to learn he was abusing them. The betrayal was all the worse, they claim, because he was able to commit crimes even though administrators had suspicions about him.

"I adored Jason," said the mother of one of the victims. "I thought he had everything going for him. Unfortunately, he had this desire to manipulate families to get access to their young boys."

Other parents spoke of how their children were traumatized. Some no longer trust male teachers and sometimes refuse to go to school. Others have withdrawn from friends and no longer enjoy group activities and school sports.

ping to Homosexual Agenda List

Well, what a surprise... According to experts on sexual abuse, pedophiles tend to join professions where they are able to be close to children; where they are both in a position to be an "authority figure" or a "friend" to children, in order to abuse their positions to persue their perversion.

We've seen the bitter fruits of this fact lately with the scandals of the Catholic Church... ever wonder if this is a problem predominant among teachers as well? I had a teacher in high school that tried (unsuccessfully) to molest me... with all of the pro-homosexual agendas of the NEA, it kind of makes you wonder, doesnt it?

Gee, do you realllly think this coullld be WHY gay guys want to be Scout leaders or part of the troop? To molest boys? Nah, the media doesn't tell me that. Nah, must be my imagination or maybe I'm a hateful bigot because I see homosexaulity as immoral and just plain wrong.

Anybody know what happened to LarryLied? He used to keep a list of these teacher molestation cases, but his account said he'd been banned.

Hey, I do not believe it, there is a level headed judge in Orange county Calif. Hooray for his bravery in Queer land.

"You may have convinced your loving parents and your brother that this was a case of vendetta ... but you haven't convinced anyone else,".

Since when has it been that the defendant has to prove himself innocent?

I thought we were innocent until proven guilty not the other way around.

Yup. ;-)

Welcome to FR, Warnock.

Now isn't it possible to have that other article removed--you know, the one about the woman who got a slap on the wrist for molesting a 15-year-old boy? Otherwise, some silly people might think heterosexuals are all evil, too.

If the other article bothers you, feel free to push the "abuse" button.
