My former headmaster, who we all talked about being a creep, is in jail for molesting girls. When the school caught wind of it they fired him but did not warn other schools. A former victim reported him when he was about to teach her daughter at another washingtonpost.com/local/crime/fo…
“More than 90 people, including former ABC News anchor Charlie Gibson and Ken Starr, the special prosecutor who investigated the Whitewater matter during the Clinton presidency, wrote letters on Kloman’s behalf.” washingtonpost.com/local/crime/fo…
That’s right, Charlie Gibson, Ken Starr, a partner at Akin Gump, and an aide to Laura Bush all wrote letters on behalf of a man who molested children, and essentially peers of their own kids. gawker.com/he-took-the-ti…
Also Ken Starr! Who preached such indignation at the Clinton/Lewinsky (totally inappropriate and wrong but not illegal) affair turns around and defends the child molester, works for Epstein, and was fired by Baylor for covering up sex abuse there. What a prince he is.
Other people who came to his defense—Gilbert M Grosvener—editor/head of National Geographic. Then my dad’s boss and father to my brother’s then-best friend WHO ALSO ATTENDED THAT SCHOOL.
You can read their letters here. Note how they tout own roles as Boy Scout leaders etc, claim their daughter speaks well of Kloman. It’s denial wrapped in class privilege and it is disgusting . Especially Gibson who manages to quote Thoreau and Dostoyevsky documentcloud.org/documents/8351…
Anyway teach your kids to tell you about anything inappropriate that they suffer but also witness, because some parents are clueless POSes and you might need to ensure their kids too have somebody to listen to them.
And if you are a rich and powerful parent always remember that the abusers are likely going to pick more (outwardly) vulnerable kids to prey on. Use your privileges for the kids who have less. Certainly DO NOT speak up for a child molester FFS.
I think 10 victims came forward to help out him away. Had this been post #metoo I bet their would be scores, maybe more. (And no none of my classmates ever publicly claimed abuse, but he creeped super hard on at least 4 of them. In a class of 40.)
