Learning Mentor at my school accused of sexually touching a boy.
A learning mentor at my school had been took through court for 15 months because he had sent another boy (don't know him) texts and touched his knee. The boys mother had been really shocked by the texts and he was immediatley suspended, at first i was on his side with the whole thing, not believing he did a thing, it all started last year, and a few weeks ago it was brought back up in the local paper, as the trial went on i wasn't sure what to believe, everyone was calling him a peado and things, but i didn't know what to think of the matter, he was very touchy feely all of the time, he was my mentor before he had got suspended and for months on end we were told he was off ill. On Monday he was cleared of all charges, some people are fuming about this and some believe he didn't do anything. I believe now he didn't do anything, and i think that poor man has been put through so much trauma through the whole thing, and now our school has to do its own investigation over it. He's fighting for his job back but may not get it, if he does come back i don't think he'd stay long because he would get insults hurled at him all day long, parents going mad ect.... But, i was talking to my mum about this earlier, and she pointed out that if he was guilty, he'd be free to do it again, i don't know what to think about the matter, and i don't know if i'd be the same around him ever again, it's a weird thing though
What are your thoughts on the matter lol, sorry to blabber on...
Edit:: the texts were 'i promise to behave myself' (i think they were going on a trip, he was also a boys brigade leader)and 'your a nice looking lad' i can see why the boys mother could have been shocked, but i can see how they could have been taken out of context too.
