As I was doing research on the newly-passed law that would make in-person grooming a crime, North (now Bernotas) Middle School gym teacher William Saturday came to mind.
He’s the guy who groomed a female student to the extent that he had intercourse with her the day after she graduated.
A commenter reminded me of Lundahl Middle School Principal Virgil Laughlin, who also taught at North Junior High School when the events occurred that led to his indictment.
He was subsequently allowed to leave District 47 employment, rather than be prosecuted.
Besides his inappropriate behavior at North, one of his victims told me Laughlin molested him in his Lundahl Principal’s office, no less.
“Out of sight, out of mind” appears to have been the mentality of the Crystal Lake Grade School Administration/Board.
Laughlin was out-of-state until moving to Rockford, after which he was convicted by State’s Attorney Gary Pack indicted him on two counts of taking indecent liberties with a child.
Attorneys James Campion and Mark Gummerson appealed the decision on the basis that the statue of limitation had run out.
The Appellate court ruled
“We conclude that a rational basis exists for the classification created by the tolling provision. Nonresidents of Illinois are not similarly situated with residents of Illinois. It is more difficult to investigate and bring to justice an individual who is not usually and publicly a resident in this state. That individual may be anywhere else on earth, in orbit, or in hiding in Illinois. The fact that, in this case, defendant did not attempt to hide when he was in Nebraska or fight extradition is immaterial. The state may direct a law against what it considers to be a problem as it actually exists. Shephard, 152 Ill.2d at 502, 178 Ill. Dec. 724, 605 N.E.2d 518. Here, we agree that investigating, charging, and prosecuting an individual with a crime is more difficult when the suspect is not within the state. Therefore, the state may treat suspects who live in Illinois differently from those who reside elsewhere. Whether a statute is the best means to achieve the State’s desired results is for the legislature, and not the courts, to decide. Shephard, 152 Ill.2d at 503, 178 Ill.Dec. 724, 605 N.E.2d 518. We conclude that the tolling provision does not violate defendant’s equal protection rights.” [Emphasis added.]
Another degenerate member of the teacher’s union and protected by a degenerate school board.
Your tax dollars at work, but not for you.
Principals are not in the union.
Martin, the Teacher’s Union controls Illinois.
Now with Laughlin, they would be involved, protecting the teachers that Virgil Laughlin hired and he hired many, and some were still at Lundahl Junior High in the 90’s.
You know the old saying, BIRDS OF A FEATHER, FLOCK TOGETHER, RIGHT?
The D47 union president, an attorney as well as a teacher, defended a groping male teacher at Lundahl.
I believe the girl was groped in the early 1990’s.
Bernotas was despised by his own brother, who is a friend of mine and quite politically opposite the puke.
CPTKangaroo, what is Bernotas doing these days, playing monopoly with all his pension income?
Cal, who was the D47 union president and attorney? And the groping teacher?
Bernotas is sunning himself in FL on the taxpayers’ dime. But his splendid retirement plans are inconvenienced when his adult diapers spring leaks at the golf club.
PU!
Kathy Schultz is pushing up daisies. Her corruption is now complete.
The only thing going into orbit are the numbers of sexual freaks teaching in schools.
