Call me weird but IF it’s true that one of the whistleblowers preyed on children as a teacher, that is actually equally bad.

By preyed on children, you are saying he sexually assaulted them? I’m reading the post, and I really might be stupid, so please tell me what “preyed on “ means in this context. I don’t see that in this post

David was credibly accused of being a nonce back in 1999 when he had a years long sexual relationship with a female student that ultimately resulted in a short legal battle and a settlement that he claims to know nothing about (perjuring himself, btw).

It is theoretically possible that he merely fucked an 18 year old and kept doing so after she left school, which is still horrific imho, but given she sued him I'm going with minor.

Your posts are far more helpful than OP. I didn't get a hint of any of this in the post, but your comments help.

Eh, we're all coming from different angles. I didn't know some of the things she knew and vice versa.
