    Swept under the rug in WT
    Is their any further information on the courts action. This was scheduled for an October hearing but no one seems to know anything more. He taught at my grandkids school and situated himself in several positions of power here in West TN. I am truly afraid he will get away with this!

    In many jurisdictions it takes up to three years, sometimes even longer, for these cases to wind their way through the court systems unless a defendant cops a plea. Given that he was arrested just last March, odds are that they've only just begun.
