Ashley quickly told her mother and school officials, including a school security officer she confused with a police officer. They assured her the matter would be handled. But Allen was never arrested or charged with any crime. He resigned quietly from Little Axe in 2002. In the years since, he has coached or taught at seven other Oklahoma high schools, according to state records, a development Ashley found appalling.
“I watched them pass the trash right in front of me,” said the woman, now Ashley Rolen, 39, an Oklahoma City entrepreneur married to a pastor. She is working to publicize the problem of sexual misconduct, particularly among K-12 school employees. “My story is significant but not unique,” she notes ruefully.

Sorry, but this should NOT happen. All resignations, “quiet” or otherwise, should be reported to the press and investigated by the police. Bring the bureaucrats (i.e., principal; the vice; and anyone else in the chain of command) down to the police station, put them in an interrogation room, and ask “routine questions”. Anyone that doesn’t cooperate is immediately suspended pending an appearance at a Grand Jury. If crossing state lines is involved the FBI should be conducting the investigation. I’d insist on an audio and video record be kept.
This <synonym for excrement> would quickly stop. No “education” bureaucrat would risk their job, pension, and possible jail time to cover for a criminal. I suspect that there would enthusiastic cooperation.
And, anyone convicted or loses misconduct suit in court is FOREVER banned from school or Gooferment employment at any level.
Argh!
