Midland Coaches And Administrators Taken Into Custody For Failure To Report A Sexual Assault
The Midland, Texas, police department has confirmed that 5 school employees at Midland Christian School were apprehended on Wednesday.
They have all been charged with failure to report with intent to conceal neglect or abuse.
An alleged assault took place at Christensen Stadium around January 20, 2022. This was while a baseball practice was occurring. The victim disclosed to a forensic interviewer that the lights went out when he was in the locker room changing clothes.
Another student stated to the victim that it was “freshman initiation day.” Then, someone started to hit the victim. He was pushed to the floor while everyone yelled at him. He was told that he wasn’t allowed to hit back as he tried to defend himself.
The victim stated that he was then sexually assaulted with a bat.
Barry Russell, a coach, Gregory McClendon, Matthew Counts, Jared Lee, and Dana Ellis, a principal, are suspected to be the workers who were arrested.
Documents show that Superintendent Lee was told about the incident and instructed McClendon, an athletic director and coach and Counts, an assistant principal and coach, to look into the matter.
Investigation paperwork, obtained through a search warrant, showed that the five people knew about the occurrence but hadn’t taken action.
One juvenile was apprehended in the matter.
Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a
sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but
I had to tell someone!
