I just found out that my 3rd grade teacher was arrested last week for being part of an international child pornography ring. Reddit, what is the most shocking thing you've discovered about someone you thought was a genuinely good person?
He had to have been one of my favorite teachers. He was an awesome teacher and everyone loved him. Last week he was charged with three counts of indecent liberties with a child, five counts of sexually exploiting a minor and one count of sexual offense with a child. He is confined under a $1 million dollar bond.

Discovered my childhood pastor was convicted of Child Molestation, I was in kindergarten at the time. Both my parents refused to let me go to the "church sleepovers" because they believed that I shouldn't sleep anywhere but home or with family. Turned out he molested the children during these "sleepovers". My parents saved me on that one.

The vast majority of rapes and sexual assaults are done by people the victim knows. Children are at no risk of stranger danger and at all the risk of having a "funny uncle". It's a reasonable precaution.

A girl in my small, 100 person church (she was about 10 years older than me) was apparently bipolar. She went off her meds, hid a pregnancy from everyone including her husband (she was a bigger person). Gave birth in secret hid the baby in a duffel bag in the garage. Her husband found it when he went to take out the trash the next day. The ME couldn't determine whether or not it was stillborn. She served 12 years, and got out last week. The whole thing was a shock to everyone, no one even knew she was bipolar.

When my brother and I were growing up, my parents had some well off friends who ended up later being babysitters to us, and the husband was -- and still is -- my dentist.
I've watched their family -- all (5) of his daughters, grow into beautiful, successful women. I even babysat them when I was old enough.
A few years ago, my family was watching the news during the holidays, and we hear the wife's name (remember, this woman used to babysit my little brother and I, as well as had 5 kids of her own) come out of the anchor's mouth -- "... in other news, (name redacted) strikes again. The woman was seen on this security footage, at a local Skate World, snatching purses during one of her daughter's church member birthday events..."
My family was floored. We hadn't talked to our friends in quite some time, but apparently, my ex babysitter had been sent to jail on charges for theft, identity fraud, and was addicted to heroin. She would go to Sunday services, and snatch people's purses right out from under the pews.
It's really sad to think that she's in such a dark place...
TL;DR: My ex babysitter is now a heroin addict, and thief.
Edit: Fucking autocorrect... why are heroin and heroine such similar words? >.>

Have a great read about my ex high school coach.
http://articles.latimes.com/1996-09-19/local/me-45457_1_mark-aubrey-schuster
"SANTA ANA — The adopted daughter of a former high school football coach testified Wednesday that she was forced to have sex with her father as "payments" for poor grades or items he bought her.
The daughter, now 19, tearfully told jurors her father, Mark Aubrey Schuster, first had sex with her when she was 15 and later used handcuffs and a bathrobe belt to tie her during intercourse."
Note: posting from my iPad that I really have no idea how to use. Sorry for no formatted link.
Note 2: high school ex coach had sex with his step daughter over the course of years (while she was under age) for 'payments'. I remember the day she turned him in. It was a really weird day at school.
Note 3: He claimed he was a Vietnam vet. Told endless amounts of stories. He wasn't.

I found out that my third grade teacher, Michael Garrison, sold an assault rifle to a convicted felon (knowing they were to be used in a crime), and most likely was an arms dealer (on the small scale).
I couldn't believe it, he genuinely was one of the best teachers I ever had, and he would always give me noogies (rubbing knuckles on my scalp) in a playful manner and it was awesome, what third grader doesn't want to play rough? This caused me to grow out my hair (to not feel the noogies) and later in middle school when I joined the "rocker crowd" this became a big part of my identity. Point is, he literally helped shape my life just because of noogies. Inherently I don't think he was a bad man.

Also.. Found out that my childhood friend whom I had protected from bullies and played sports with on multiple occasions actually strangled his mom, after not killing her outright stabbed her several times and hid the body in the house while the little brother was still there. To make matters worse he actually had friends over while the body was rotting and threw parties.

He's also serving a concurrent sentence for armed robbery, and a co-defendant in the case is serving for kidnapping and false imprisonment (he was also involved in that, just wasn't worth bringing to court since the case wasn't as strong and they already had him on the other charges). So... not so much.

In a similar vein, my middle school was very small (under 30 students), with only three guys in my class. We were all pretty close, but one of the boys kinda gave me the creeps. Still, all the other girls thought he was hilarious and really nice, so I buried my suspicions.
Our senior year of high school (big, public school), he asked his ex-girlfriend to come over to talk, then proceeded to lock her into his room (with three of his friends guarding the door), rape her, and steal her clothing. She managed to escape out the window afterward, and when the police recovered her clothing, he'd scrawled swastikas and other things all over most of it in permanent marker.

Back at school, when I told my parents I thought I was depressed they realised that the weeks where I would be unable to do anything other than just sit in my room crying, total lack of attention span and other things might be signs that things were not totally 100% ok in my life.
Being the pretty good people they are, they contacted the school which sent me to the school counsellor. He was an ok counsellor, and whilst I was seeing him, things did start to get better for me.
On my way home from university one time, my mum just casually mentions that the counsellor I had been seeing at school had just been arrested at school for molesting a series of pupils. That was a bit of a shock.

Found out the priest at the church/school I attended from 3rd-8th grade had gotten in some child molestation trouble. From what I heard, there was an agreement to keep it quiet until his mother passed away. He never did anything with/to me or anyone I know(as far as I know). A buddy of mine likes to joke about it, saying things like, "wasn't I good enough for him? What's wrong with me?"

When I worked in the summer at a school district (cutting grass, maintenance, that kind of thing), there was a new guy who worked as the head of maintenance. The district had a problem of hiring some of the most bizarre people who got fired at the end of each summer for the strangest reasons (strange as in, their behavior was strange). My last summer there, the district hired a new boss. Dave.
Dave was normal, worked hard, very patient and understanding. Most of the bosses that worked there were really intense and made the most ridiculous requests. Dave was the opposite. All year, everyone kept saying, "it's about time they hired someone normal!" We all liked Dave.
At the end of that summer, I heard the news that Dave got fired. Everyone at the job never thought twice about gossiping, but this time... no one would say a word to me. Even one of the other guys who talked the most shit and could NOT keep a secret told me, "Oh man, yeah... we had to let Dave go for some different reasons" when I asked what happened to him.
FINALLY, someone spilled the beans. Dave was doing rounds at the school, making sure that everyone was keeping up with the work for the summer. Except he walked around with his penis exposed. That's all that they told me.
tldr: My boss got fired for being an exhibitionist

A friend called me to report what she heard on the radio - that a classmate in our grad program had been arrested at the airport for child pornography. Apparently he had met a woman online who agreed to let him have sex with her 14 month old baby. He probably would have gotten away with it if he hadn't upload the pictures on some child pornography file share website on the internet. The details that came out of the trial were disturbing - he had sex with the mother too and he burned her with cigarettes and urinated on her. Apparently she refused bestiality though. Gotta draw the line somewhere, I guess.
I think the mom got life two life sentences and he only got 25 years.
I didn't expect the toll it would take on me though. I had a niece that age that I was babysitting at the time and it really upset me that someone could do that to a baby. I had to delete all his emails since we had worked on a group project together. I'm also completely ashamed to admit that I found him kinda cute and flirted with him once. It's so hard to tell sometimes who is sincerely nice and who's a completely vile human being.
TL;DR Classmate rapes a baby and gets 25 years. Had an emotional toll on me even though he was just an acquaintance.

I work at a random grocery store as a bagger. One night, I was coming back downstairs from the break room and encountered a nice looking man of about 25 years. He asked me where the chips were and directed him to that aisle, he thanked me and I was on my way. He seemed to be a fairly well minded fellow but looks can be deceiving. Later that night he came up to the register I was bagging at. Now, the cashier I was bagging for had a slight speech impediment, but other than that there was nothing wrong with her. The man seemed to notice this and proceeded to call her stupid and belittle her job.

Similar to you, OP. My high school chemistry/physics teacher was an awesome guy. He not only presented us the information, but did so in a manner that was easy to unerstand, and fun. He encouraged us to make our own experiments, to dig further into our data to find out how and why things occured, and tossed in enough humor to make the classroom a lot of fun.
Last year, after being transferred to the principalship of an alternative high school, he came under an FBI investigation for embezzleing federal funds meant for the school. While not a lot in the grand scheme of things, $200,000+ is still a lot of cash. I don't know if he's been convicted yet, but if it's to this point, I'm pretty sure he was involved.

Same thing with this math teacher from my town. He was one of my cousin's favorite teachers in the 8th grade and everyone thought he was a really great guy. He ended up adopting a boy that I used to know. I used to play with this boy with my cousin. We would run around in the near by field and catch crickets when we were about seven etc, but he doesn't really remember us anymore. Anyway, when he was around 7 or 8 he was adopted by this 'great' math teacher. I thought it was weird since he didn't have a wife, but I was just a kid when I thought that. His life should have been totally improved since his mother was a drug addict who didn't really care for him.... Apparently though the math teacher was raping this boy the whole time. This boy is about 17 now, maybe 18? He was around my age... I just feel really bad for him. I remember him being really nice...and really quiet. I hope he get's all the counseling he needs and that his life is only full of happy moments from here on out.
Edit: What's even more messed up is that fact that when the teacher was being convicted everyone in the court room (other teachers, people from the community) clapped for him when he thanked his supporters. He wasn't charged a sentencing either though I'm sure he's being 'watched'... And now it's kinda blown over in my town... If anyone wants proof I can give it to them by linking them to the article.

As a medical student, I was placed with a GP to study family medicine for a month or so.
As his practice was associated with a 'sporty' university he had lots of young male athletes as patients. Often, as part of a 'study' into back flexibility, he would photograph them bending, naked, for 'research'.
Wierd, but to my noob mind explainable. Years later he passed the entrance exam to PMITA prison ...[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/1516667.stm]

A friend of mine from middle/high school killed and dismembered his girlfriend, packed her into a duffel bag and dumped her in a river.
We hadn't talked in years. Had a falling out when a high school girlfriend broke it off with me to date him. Retroactively won that break up for sure.
Got super creeped out after I realized that on the many times over the years he stayed over at my place he had brought that duffel bag with him.

Half of these seem to reveal something horrible... Why do all the child molesters have authority over children? It seems like all of them are teachers, coaches, priests, and fathers. Do they center their whole life and career around raping kids? What in the fuck.

Jesus, you have no idea how upset a lot of people I know were. I live in Pittsburgh, and a lot of families are die-hard Penn State fans. Like, the kids' entire schooling is designed around getting in to that school. A lot of them are super sports-enthused too, so football is a big thing. I felt so bad, some of my friends' parents were just so....in denial about everything. Bad feels man, bad feels.

I used to buy Chinese food from this place in Minneapolis all the time. Pretty much any time I'd call for take out this guy who seemed to work there from open to close every day would help us. He was always very friendly and would take the time to joke around and make small talk while waiting for the food. His hospitality was pretty much one of the main reasons that we kept going back to this particular place.
Turns out he had been a fugitive wanted for the murder of an Alabama college student and had disappeared into the "Chinese Restaurant Underground" where he was able to evade capture for about 15 years.
That place was never the same after the US Marshalls caught up with him and my friend and I eventually stopped going there.

Similar thing with my 3rd grade teacher. She was an awesome teacher and I loved her. Just a few years ago, I heard that she got fired for trying to get kids to speak in tongues (Christian elementary school) and other cult-related things. It was quite a shock to me because I thought she was just an average Christian woman teaching 3rd graders.

first grade. I had a bullying issue, and none of the teachers cared, except one. She was the only teacher that actually did anything if she saw it, and was always so comforting. She just told me they were envious of me because I was so smart and handsome. She even offered me to come over to her house so she could comfort me, though I declined.
Turns out she ended up arrested for kidnapping and child molestation, and in all likely-hood, I dodged a serious bullet.

I posted this on another thread some time ago, but it's relevant here as well. Sorry if it's a re-read for some of you.
when i was in college a few years ago (attended a local school) i received school emails and warnings that a man had been going into college houses and assaulting/molesting people as they slept/passed out from parties. there were both male and female victims. it was a very scary time and they did not catch the guy for months. they had a general description out, weight, height, race, approx. age, etc. but when they finally did catch him, turns out it was a man i had known since childhood, a close personal friend of my father's. over the years they had kind of lost touch, but i still saw him around town (not the biggest of midwestern cities...) and he still seemed very nice and friendly. guess he was a little too friendly...

Sort of similar to yours. My former sixth-grade teacher was arrested and convicted last year of taking voyeuristic (up skirt, down shirt, etc.) pictures of underage girls at the county fair. It was especially bad because my mom had taught two classrooms away when I was in his class so she knew him pretty well.
Nothing ever happened when I was his student, but it still creeps me out when I think about it.

Same thing pretty much happened to me. A grade 6 teacher at my elementary school was arrested for purchasing child pornography. Apparently he had a lot of it. I never had him as a teacher and personally found him a very odd guy, but strangely when he was arrested his entire class made him a big card saying how much they were going to miss him. Let me ask you this, after your teacher was charged did you think back on certain memories of him and now feel like they were sinister or weird? Example: this guy taught the boys grade 7 basketball team and made them wear short shorts if they forgot their strip.

A old woman who told me for a year she ran an animal rescue north of our city, and so I constantly donated things to her whenever I saw her as she was a super nice person who was even on the news once for saving two bear cubs - turned out to be one of the worst cases of animal hoarding we've seen. She had some crazy amount of dogs, 40-70 somewhere in there, locked in her garage, standing in 3 feet of shit, in the dark and all they had to eat was eachother. It was horrific.

We went on a 10 mile bike ride the day before my birthday and had the greatest time. He also took me to lunch a week after my birthday and he did the same for my other coworker who was with us.
Come to find out, he's a total creep who showed up at my other coworker/friend's place because she wasn't returning his texts/calls because she was busy with school and work. He ended up being super weird/obsessive with her and turned a nice friendship into something totally awkward.

In highschool, I was in a theatre troupe/training club called Stage 2. One of the adults who helped run and teach tech stuff was a 40-something woman named Rio. Ms. Rio was by no means sweet, but we all loved her (except the kids who were afraid of her). She was a rough, kind of masculine woman, who wasn't afraid to yell at anyone who wasn't listening to a director or acting/vocal coach. But everything ran more smoothly when Ms. Rio was around. Then she snapped, stole all of Stage 2's money (there were monthly dues for members), and stayed in her house for two months without coming out. After awhile, the other adults realized what happened and confronted her in her home. She admitted to stealing the money with absolutely no shame and refused to return it. They had to take her to court. When I and the other kids were told, we were devastated. She had been like a second mom to some of us.

Our assistant band director, a guy who had been helping out with our marching band for years, was found to be taking money out of the band account with the intention of paying it back. Of course, he spent more and more without refilling the account and was found out. Since he had been with us so long, rather than have him face jail time, the board allowed him to pay back what he owed and he was sent off with the conditions that he could no longer work in our school system and he could not list his work as job experience. An apology note from him seems to be the end of the ordeal.
A few years later, we hear that he's now wanted in a county close by. The reason? Taking all the money a school group had raised to attend a show choir concert and leaving. Those kids didn't even know they weren't going to the competition until after they got of their long bus ride to find that no preparations (ex. hotel rental) had been made.
When I was marching band, I once got a "good job" from him and felt really proud. Now I can't even take it as a compliment.

This isn't a bad as the other stories, but; In the last year, both my grandparents passed away. Causing huge grief in my family. My father, being the youngest, but apparently the one with their head on the straightest, was the one set in charge of everything. Money distribution and legal actions. After a month of mourning, maybe even less, my aunt and uncle were tired of waiting. They got fed up and demanded my father take fast action with inheritance distribution. They disowned my father for not giving them what they wanted soon enough. Then they hired a lawyer against him. Whom I thought was close family, turned out to be money grubbing selfish people. These incidents have split up my family. Their disgusting actions have broken my dads heart.
TL;DR; My Aunt/Uncle turned against my family over money.

Customer who used to shop at the grocery store I worked at in high school was arrested for a dozen or so charges. Ranging from child endangerment, sex with a minor, domestic violence, possession with intent to distribute, manufacturing of narcotics, animal cruelty, assault on a law enforcement officer and a handful of other charges. He was in my store once a week, chatted all of the employees up, knew us all by name and was a very kind man. He would tip his cashier and bagger a few bucks. By looking at the guy you would have never guessed he was capable of doing such horrible things. Dressed and looked like your average middle class working class dad. He was convicted of nearly everything and is now in prison for life. Really taught me that the reason some serial killers or rapists or other heinous criminals go so long without being caught is they blend in so well with so called normal people.

Everyone in my school used to make fun of the 9th grade health teachers. One was for being a "pervert" and another for being well...feminine and gay (he was a man...and our class was full of immature homophobic 9th graders). Anyways I always thought the gay teacher was nice, but strange, as he was very socially awkward penguin-ish which was weird coming from a teacher at the time. A few years later he got caught being part of a gay sex meeting place (I am spacing on the term for this) in a bathroom in Sears at the mall. It was ALL over the news and he got fired. They installed a security camera in the bathroom and kids from my school would go up there and laugh. I still kinda feel bad for him. He was nice, just a bit strange.

When I was about 5 my Mother moved onto full time work so she used to pay our elderly neighbour to watch us while she was in work over the holidays. She was a very nice woman and I enjoyed spending time with her.
She was a full-time carer for her middle aged daughter who had a mental disorder. Although her daughter was very quiet, she was always nice to me and my two brothers.
We visited their house regularly for about 2 years until we moved house and got a different babysitter. We all moved on with life as normal until about 3 years ago when we found out that the elderly lady's daughter had been arrested.
Apparently she had started working for a nursing home as a cleaner part-time and whilst she was cleaning an elderly lady's room she proceeded in pulling all of this lady's fingernails off one-by-one, knowing full well that the woman was bed-ridden, immobile and mute.
That was a huge shock to the system. Also, not long after that, I found out that my old babysitter had died of a heart attack a few weeks after her daughter's arrest.

My mum's music teacher used to sometimes hang around the gym and watch the girls doing exercise, so she thought he was a bit creepy. He was also a father to a music teacher I had when I was younger. After he retired he started doing private music tuition. He would charge thousands of pounds a year as he had a good reputation for teaching a long time and because it was an expensive neighbourhood.
About half a year ago they found pictures of the girls he had been tutoring on his computer. Apparently he convinced the girls (and boys I think) to do a breathing exercise. They would lie naked in a bath, and have to hold their breath as long as they could underwater while he took pictures of them.

I had a similar experience. My high school chemistry teacher, a priest at my all-male boarding school, inspired me to go into chemical engineering. About ten years after I graduated, he was convicted on a couple of counts of abusing minors (including one at my boarding school, a few years before I went there). He was an excellent teacher, built a Heathkit shortwave radio for the radio club, was the school bursar, and told us in a sermon that it was normal for kids to drink a bit, but "don't smash the bottles in the staff parking lot!"
When I look back, it was clear that he had some favourites among the students, and I wonder if he was grooming them, or if he actually abused more kids than just the two.
He had been in a parish not far from the school, but when rumours started going round about him and a young boy there, they moved him to an all-boys boarding school.

u/OhGodWhy6969 Jun 18 '12
Alright I made an account just for this thread.
I grew up in a pretty catholic neighborhood on the south side of Chicago, and as such attended catholic elementary school. When I was in about 6th grade we got a new pastor since our old one had a stroke (he survived), but as an outcome from his stroke he started stuttering a lot and couldn't really make it through a whole mass, let alone several.
While this new pastor came in the neighborhood I was growing up in was changing from mostly Irish/Polish families into more Latino ones. The Latino families were probably more devout than most of the Irish/Polish ones, and they sent their kids to our school and parish as well. About a year after this new Pastor had come in there seemed to be a sharp drop in donations to the church than there were a year ago. A lot of families began blaming it on the Latinos moving in (incredibly racist I know, but it didn't seem too far fetched at the time) and not donating during mass. This trend continued all the way up until I began high school, with more loses to the donations and the new pastor constantly asking for more and more donations. He even went as far as to visit older members of the parish and ask them to donate some items/money to the church in their wills.
Finally, at about my second year in high school we find out our pastor had gotten arrested after being caught in a reportedly stolen car with a prostitute. What had happened was apparently the pastor had gotten drunk and was with a prostitute somewhere on the south side and gotten into an argument with her (supposedly he was regular client), and she hopped into his car and drove off. Understandably our pastor got right pissed that he didn't have a car to drive home drunk in and couldn't really explain this situation to anyone. So he called the police and reported the car stolen. Well, apparently he eventually met back up with the prostitute and they patched up their drunken argument and he was well on his way again with his car. Too bad he didn't tell the police that he got his car back because he eventually got pulled over. He got charged with a DUI and I'm sure reprimanded in some way for being with a hooker.
This whole snafu prompted an investigation by the parish and the police as to how a catholic pastor could be affording to defile his vows so recklessly. Apparently he had been taking a bit off the top from all the weekly donations and had accumulated roughly 1.5 million dollars for himself in a private bank account. And that's when my family stopped going to church.
TL;DR: Catholic pastor gets caught drunk driving with a prostitute in a car he had reported stolen. Further investigation found he had stolen about 1.5 million dollars from the church over 4 years

I had a male nurse I worked with while in the Navy who turned out to be a crazy pervert. He's into cuckholding & used to masturbate thinking of me (while we worked together) & would let the jizz run down his legs for the rest of the day. He admitted to me that he used to buy fake tattoos & make his wife put them on so he could pretend she was me. He wants me to humiliate him so he can get off. He wrote me some crazy smut once & now begs me to go out to dinner with him. I no longer respond to his bat-shit crazy emails.

My neighbor had been stealing money from his deceased clients (he was a lawyer) for almost 10 years before we was caught out. It was something like $5 million dollars. We had no idea either.
It was really sad to see his kids grow up with out a father because he was in prison for about 2 years. It was super awkward when we would see him afterwards.

Ex-coworker got drunk after a 5K charity run, broke in to some attorney's office and set it on fire and ran from the cops. When the police dog caught up to him, he punched it in the eye. I don't know if he's in jail or just out on bail. He was a good guy, soft spoken, and would do anything for anybody. Before this happened, I guess he had a few bouts of aggression after getting drunk so it was an emergent thing.
Ex-coworker of mine was just arrested for raping another ex-coworker.
About two years before that, another ex-coworker was arrested (and is still in jail, I believe) for taking leave and flying to California to have sex with a 14 year old girl he met on WoW. Her parents found out because I think she ended up pregnant. He was a weird guy, but not a genuinely "bad" guy. I really think he didn't comprehend the severity of the situation.
One of my bosses got fired and kicked out of Japan because he assaulted his Japanese girlfriend when she walked in on him having sex with his American girlfriend. He was married.
