LAUSD Molestation Scandal Keeps Spreading

Oh boy.

The fallout continues for LAUSD, which now has not one but two molestation scandals on its hands.

First there was the story I mentioned yesterday, of a former assistant principal, now in jail facing sex-related allegations involving three teens, and how district big-wigs apparently knew about the transgressions and relocated the guy rather than relieve him of his job.

Today, the LA Times continues to follow scandal numero dos, about a Santa Monica-based middle school teacher accused of molesting at least five female students, at least one of which acts, Tami Abdollah reports, is evidenced on a videotape. Ew.

Further, a Santa Monica police lieutenant is quoted as saying "we do believe there are others out there." Meaning more victims.
