“According to state education records obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, a September 2013 investigation by Arlington County Child Protective Services found … the abuse occurred inside a classroom closet and continued in successive years when the girl was in the fourth and fifth grades,” the news site reports.

Fire him before he gets his first paycheck with the deduction for the Maryland teachers' union.
HOW can MD school district do a BACKGROUND CK and STILL Hire THIS POS.?
Background checks aren't as comprehensive as one might think.
P.G. county will accept any pervert to teach their already racist and ignorant children.
From the article:
“Police investigated Staten but said (they) didn’t have evidence to recommend criminal charges. Staten was not prosecuted."
Whether you believe him or not, he is not guilty of any crime.
That being public record you do not have to have a conviction to be denied a job of this magnitude. proves they have a broken Human Resource procedures on hiring. Who is going to be responsible for his future actions if they recur? The tax payer should not be held responsible but the ones personally involved in the hiring.
whats the matter? got a problem with this? well the kops do it all the time, passing the trash! from one community to another. let em resign and seek employment elsewhere to continue their crimes against unsuspecting citizens! national database for bad teachers and bad kops!
