   There was this teacher at a private secondary school - he was very progressive and super popular with the students.
   He was my main teacher for some years, and I realized soon that he did not really care as much about us as he pretended he did, so I didn't trust him - but apparently, others were mostly unable to look behind that façade and fell for all the cheap tricks like "you are the only class I can do this ["special" group exercise] with".

   When I learned much later, from a very trustworthy source, that he had been fired for having had several "sexual relationships" with underaged female students , I was not surprised (and in hindsight, there had been hints - but only hints, and I had no concrete suspicion back then).

   So he had been "fired", but it was all swept under the rug. He never went to court, and from what I know now, it seems as if he got away with simply "promising" the principal to go into adult education then. I guess, they neither wanted a scancal, nor did they want to "destroy" this predator's life. ?

     I wanted to know more and did a bit of research. What I found out (by just looking around on the internet), was that this man went on to work for a while at another private secondary school. And today, he still works as a teacher, at a public secondary school - still with teenage girls.

     It took me a bit to come to a decision - I know that most of his former students would hate me for making this public, and he's now at the end of his work life anyway - but in the end, I contacted some journalists. One was willing to research that story, and I provided them with links and a list of people who they could talk to.

     And then - nothing happened, because whoever the journalist approached would just say that the guy was a super great teacher.

     The end.
