Another teacher @ ESHS accused of sexual molestation
While our News Center has the names of the male mathematics teacher and the underage female student, we will not disclose that information as both the child and the accused have rights under the laws and the constitution.
Math teacher sent on leave
The teacher, who has been teaching for years, has been sent on leave as Ministry and school officials have continued to follow procedures when these matters occur. There has been no cover-up by the Ministry of Education, Department of Education or ESHS officials, according to another source, contrary to reports by one local tabloid.
The alleged offence occurred some months ago and it is our understanding that relevant Government Authorities are investigating, including the ministry, the Education Department, the school, the police and the Social Development Department.
Rights of child & accused
While our newsroom strongly condemns any form of child molestation or cruelty to children in schools, churches, camps, in homes or in society, under our legal system the accused must be given his/her day in court via the legal process.
It was a few months ago that a male Physical Education Teacher from ESHS was also accused of molesting a male student. He is still on leave from ESHS as the investigation is ongoing. It’s our understanding that the matter is now before the Director of Public Prosecutions to determine if there is enough evidence to go further.
Meanwhile, both Education Minister Sharie B. de Castro (AL) and Acting Chief Education Officer Orlandette R. Crabbe did not respond to our request for their comment.
Editor’s note: The staff and management of Virgin Islands News Online remain advocates for the protection of children and endorse Hon Stacey M. Mather’s (AL) call for a sex offender registry to be established in the Virgin Islands.

If the teachers are guilty, they should be punished. If the children accuse the teachers wrongfully they also should be punished. A school is the achieve a proper education not these nonsense.
You dumb B….es, the article is not about Rosan. Just another alleged pervert got exposed without a bottle of baby oil.
Outside of school they come up with the kifs coubw for all boys and plan an off island camoing trip with your sons and get them in a place of no escape.
The pedos are all around, not just hollywood a P-DD could be next door to you or your dayghter's best friend uncle or brother. No sleep overs. In fact don't let your child go to nobody house.
Then we wonder why many young people all screwed up. Give them a talking tablet and you'll hesr all the trachers who been touchijg them up all these years.
It must got a special place in hell for pedos where rhey can just rot.
So please investigate and bring these monsters to justice and get their filthy arses off the streets
Who you mean Draymond Garrilom?
This isn't ********* first time. That guy is a predator! I go to the school so I know
I have said before and I will say it again, the administration of that school knows a lot of sh** going on in there and they are covering it up. People listen to your children/child when they come and tell you what's going on in that school. That school is filled with nasty teachers with stinking attitudes towards the students, they disrespect the students, and nothing is being done about it but when the students do the same, they are punished and labelled as rude and disrespectful. give these students a chance to answer questions about some of those teachers in that school and you all would be surprised by some of the answers you will hear. Even some of the secretaries working to the front in the offices y'all wouldn't believe how they speak to the students and I'm saying it because I've seen it, but I guess because the students are children, and they are the adults its ok. Teach your children not to be rude but to speak up for themselves when they are being disrespected or talk down to, it is unfair what these children face daily but because they are children they are not heard or respected. Respect goes both ways. It's time for a shakeup in Elmore Stoutt high school and its time we STOP turning a blind eye to what is happening to our children right before our eyes but because of politics and who you know nothing is being done about it. Remove Garraway and Parsons and the rest who just there pretending and get people who truly care about our children. SHAKE UP THE DAMN PLACE MAN .
Many of these "children", behave like adults. They are already having sex, reading raunchy novels and are experimenting. Wunna don't know how many times I've seen female students attempt to pull at male (and female) teachers and/or make sexual comments towards them.
And some of these children are so spiteful that if they don't get their way, they know that all they have to do is cry wolf and society will drag that person through the streets.
We need to do proper investigations BEFORE we start ruining a someone's reputation. If he is guilty- then the full force of the law. But if he is not- then that girl needs to be PROSECUTED. AND I hope with the SAME ENERGY wunna here villifying him, wunna publicly apologize.
