Ex-teacher jailed for sexual assault

An article today in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette tells of an ex-teacher at the Abby Kelley Foster Charter Public School who has been sentenced for sexual assault on an 8-year-old student in 2002. The court found him guilty of indecent assault and battery. There are also three other pending counts of indecent assault and battery on three other alleged victims who were his students. This article is especially relevant as we discuss ethical issues in the social work profession; obviously these must be upheld and enforced, especially in a school setting. What is sad is that the victims of this crime had to wait so long for this man to be convicted, and he is only sentenced to serve ONE year of a 2 and a half year sentence.
