​Lawsuit: Principal Was Warned About Elementary School Child Porn

CBS News, February 12, 2016

A lawsuit filed against a public school system in Maryland claims that the predatory behavior of a volunteer, who is now facing criminal charges, was known by students and teachers and even reported to the school’s principal.

The guardian of a nine-year-old Judge Sylvania Woods Elementary School student is suing Prince George’s County Public Schools for the boy allegedly being sexually exploited by 22-year-old Deonte Carraway.

Prince George’s Police arrested Carraway on Saturday after police say he admitted to making sexual videos of children. {snip}

Charging documents allege Carraway directed children to perform sex acts, taping them with his cellphone in the school’s restrooms and auditorium. Police said they have discovered 40 sex videos of children aged nine to 13.

School system CEO Kevin Maxwell said Wednesday that principal Michelle Williams has been put on paid leave. The lawsuit claims teachers had expressed concerns about Carraway to Williams, but Williams said she couldn’t act without proof.
