How TikTok Exposed Explosive ‘Pedophile’ Teachers Scandal at Oregon School — And How Administrators Knew About It for Years
Parents and students at an Oregon high school are in a furious uproar after two alleged pedophile teachers were arrested last week on charges they sexually abused on at least nine underage girls — and administrators reportedly knew about the sick allegations for years and did nothing.
One parent at a chaotic school board meeting accused administrators of helping to “groom” victims by failing to report the abuse — and allowing one teacher to stay in his classroom until the day he was arrested.
“You’ve all known about it, and I want to know why,” one outraged student demanded.
St. Helens High School choir teacher Eric Stearns, 46, and recently retired teacher Mark Collins, 64, were arrested Tuesday and accused of a nearly ten-year sex crime spree against teen students, according to authorities.
