This was reported on Fox 53 last night and appears on WTAE's web site, but not on the newspaper web sites nor on other TV sites. Could it be they do not find it newsworthy?

It's on the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review web site. Here is the link since articles on the Trib web site won't cut and paste.

Ex-school board head faces assault charges

Thanks for the ping. Very mixed messages here. Child rape is VERY VERY serious business and I wouldn't think that a DA would hand down an arrest like this without extremely good evidence -- esp. for a "black leader". Yet, . . . he's out on bond!

I'm new to the area. Why is he a "former" SB president? Is it because of these charges?

Also, there might be some internal Pittsburgh Democratic party politics involved. How does he relate to the Murphy/O'Donnell factions in the city?

He is black - the major media does not report black crime now as a rule. Had he been white they would have.

It's in the P-G and Trib.
