I like many of you were shocked, appalled, disgusted. And disheartened by the allegations that a former Prince Georges County Public School employee harmed students. And especially vulnerable children. Jay police alleged the 22yearold sexually abused at least seven students. At sylvania woods elementary in glen arden while working as a teaching assistant the past two school years. Authorities say carraway also used his cell phone. To videotape children engaging in sex acts with him and with other students. Our safe haven is violated, and gon so in such a vile and painful way. We are deeply disturbed. Jay additional explosive allegations surfaced wednesday when a lawsuit against the the School System and the principal was filed on behalf of an alleged 9yearold victim. The suit claims filming took place openly in the School Building during school hours including the auditorium. Bathroom and other locations. The suit contends this due to the complete absence of any supervision and oversight of his conduct. The lawsuit also alleges the parents and teachers raised issues about carraways predator nature to the principal but nothing was done. That principal has now been placed on leave. If our employees didnt do what they were supposed to do they should be held accountable for that. Beyond i cant really say anything more. Jay School Leaders say a task force will be formed to take a look at all policies and procedures in regard to student safety. So that Something Like this never happens again. And to understand how this could have possibly happened in the first place. Meanwhile, investigators say if anyone aided this suspect in any way, shape or form, they can also face prosecution.
