A Trinidadian art teacher who sexually abused for nearly 2 years a 13 years old boy. In April 2007, he was convicted of 13 counts, including child abuse, molestation and lewd battery for forcing the boy to have sex in a classroom supply closet. He would take the boy home during school hours for sex. But he was out because of bail and did not spend not even 1 day in prison but today is a different story.
I am glad to hear they are finally locking him up. It is terrible to see what he got away with for so long. What he took from that boy can never be restored. Working in child protection I saw too many young men who had suffered abuse. I have not seen one yet who was ever able to move on to a normal functioning life, even with years of therapy and support. Some did better than others but they all continue to have on going problems. One of the worst cases is now an adult and just this week was admitted to the psychiatric hospital where I now work. Long after the perpetrator has been punished the horror continues to haunt the victims.
