Sexual misconduct plagues US schools: Study finds more than 2,500 teachers punished in 5 years By Martha Irvine and Robert Tanner The Associated Press “ The seven-month investigation found 2,570 educators whose teaching credentials were revoked, denied, voluntarily surrendered or limited from 2001 through 2005 following allegations of sexual misconduct. Young people were the victims in at least 1,801 of the cases, and more than 80 percent of those were students. More than half the educators who were punished by their states also were convicted of crimes related to the misconduct.” _http://origin.sltrib.com/news/ci_7227621_ (http://origin.sltrib.com/news/ci_7227621) New R.I. report raises questions on clergy abuse - Diocese says vague cases behind rise; AG concerned By Michael Paulson, Globe Staff | October 20, 2007 "Between 1971 and 2007, 125 priests in Rhode Island were accused of sexual assault or sexual misconduct, including 95 accused of child molestation or sexual assault of a minor, according to a court document filed by Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence.That number is higher than the 56 priests that Tobin's predecessor, Bishop Robert E. Mulvee, reported in 2004 as having been accused of sexual abuse of a minor between 1950 and 2002. The diocese said yesterday that the discrepancy is because the number reported three years ago included only credible allegations, while the number in the more recent court filing included an unspecified number of allegations that were "vague, anonymous, withdrawn, or ultimately found to be false." The diocese also said the higher number, which it said was adjusted to 85 after a careful document review, also includes allegations made after 2002, when a large number of alleged victims came forward as the clergy sexual abuse crisis erupted nationally." _http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/10/20/new_ri_report_raises_questions_on_clergy_abuse/_ (http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/10/20/new_ri_report_raises_questions_on_clergy_abuse/) ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
