First of all, according to pta there was a meeting. Some didn't attend. Sorry. Second, seems like you need an update on the meaning of the word PERSONAL. It means pertaining to that person, not to you. Third, I did not tell people to go f___ themselves and shut up, and I would never do that. Don't put words in my mouth. What I said was none of your business. Wasn't then, isn't now, and never will be. The kids are safe, the school is fine. 'Nuff said.

Longtime elementary teacher held on child porn charges
Thursday - 9/12/2013, 1:14pm ET

Police are asking the public for information about Ralph Watts Conrad III, a longtime art teacher in Loudoun County who was arrested on child pornography charges. (Courtesy Loudoun County Sheriff's office)WASHINGTON -- A 15-year veteran of Loudoun County schools was arrested on multiple child pornography charges on Tuesday and authorities are asking the public for further information.

Ralph Watts Conrad III, 43, of Hamilton, Va., is an art teacher at Algonkian Elementary School where he is currently on administrative leave, the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office says in a news release.

During his career in Loudoun County, Conrad taught in at least six elementary schools and for the past several years worked as an itinerant teacher, holding classes at the following schools:


•Belmont Station Elementary
•Lowe's Island Elementary
•Frances Hazel Reid
•Legacy Elementary
•Mill Run Elementary
•Creighton's Corner Elementary
Conrad was charged with one count of distribution of child pornography and two counts of possession.

The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office says the investigation remains open and additional charges are possible. To date, there appears to be no Loudoun County Public Schools children involved. However, investigators are asking the public to report any suspicious contact or relationships they may have noticed with Conrad.

Anyone with information is asked to call 703-777-0475.

D.C. pediatrician pleads guilty to child porn charge
Thursday - 9/12/2013, 2:01pm ET
WASHINGTON - A D.C. pediatrician who has practiced for decades in the District has pleaded guilty to to a single charge of possession of child pornography.

Dr. Robert P. Dickey, 74, pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday. A sentencing hearing is set for Dec. 17. He faces up to 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine and will be required to register as a sex offender for 15 years after he is released from prison, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.

"Dr. Dickey was entrusted to care for the well-being of children, but he instead chose to collect images of their sexual exploitation," said U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen Jr. in a statement. "Victims of child pornography are harmed when images of their abuse are swapped over the Internet for years, haunting the victims long after their initial abuse."

Investigators served a search warrant at Dickey's office, which is inside his home, in May and recovered more than 130 images of child pornography from hard drives. Police were sent to the home based on a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that Dickey had uploaded 14 images of child pornography.

When police entered his home, Dickey was viewing child pornography on a website. Dickey admitted to visiting porn sites and downloading child pornographic images as officers were searching his office, according to court documents.

Officials said at the time of his May arrest that there was no indication the images on his computer were of his patients.

He was initially charged with one count of receiving child pornography in addition to the possession charge

I guess your point is that investigators are asking the public for information. Is any of that happening at Sangster? No. Kids are safe. Thank you for making this point.

It does sound like he was fired. They put you on Administrative leave between the letter from your supervisor and the letter from HR. He probably resigned during that time period. I have no idea why. There are lots of reasons that it could have happened including something like he yelled at an employee or he was in a position that the Saat. Superintendent wanted for someone else. FCPS is not a place to work for anyone other than robots.

First, my understanding is that this site is a place to share information. I am disappointed by the disrespectful way in which some people are doing that. How can we expect to teach our children to treat each other with respect if we do not do the same?

Second, the Sangster staff is a very caring, supportive family, and that carries over to how the students are treated as well. Despite the situation with the principal, the school year has started off smoothly. (Overcrowded buses are not new this year and are a result of an increase in population.) The two assistant principals have done a fabulous job, the kids are safe, and teachers are hard at work doing their job, just like every year.

And just so you know, this is not some county "party line"; I speak from a decade of personal experience.

So...let's talk about a little bit about the self-righteous, I am better than you parents that I see everyday at SangsterES and their "need" to know excuse to create gossip and conflicts.

Haven't you realized yet that you are just a bunch of specks on the universe...that you are dust and to dust you shall return. You could not start to imagine how insignificant you are in this world. You come to this area searching for the "best" school because God forbid your offsprings can only attend the best of the best of the best.

So the Principal resigned...it happens...shit happens...haven't you ever tasted it? Haven't you ever find yourself in trouble, in a whole load shit of trouble...haven't you ever suffer from a disease, pain, grief. Haven't you ever make a decision when it comes to last resource and moved on? Asking only for a little bit of privacy...so that the "paparazzi" low life of parents don't make a field day of your troubles? Well, I guess you haven't...lets just hope that doesn't ever happen to you, but wait...on the other hand lets..seat and wait and hope that it does happen to you...just so that we can seat back a see your face...and then smile at your troubles.

Why don't you, for once in your life, learn to respect...yeah...RESPECT...other people's life and choices...when are you, for heaven's sake, going to learn! Stop with the gossiping and live your own life the best that you can...start creating something, go get a job...be a volunteer...go back to school and get a degree in something...fill the empty spaces of your life with something meaningful...teach your children to be respectful, obedient, nice, honest...stop teaching them how to cheat and be a liar, stop teaching them to be bullies and to stop looking down at others. Just because there is an AAP program in the school, doesn't mean your offspring if good for it..some of us are born with gifts others not so much...you need to realize that and move on...if your kid is really smart he/she is going to show it in many different ways and everyone will know it before you get to open your mouth to tell everyone. Just because your kid is in the AAP doesn't mean that she/he is going to be a better person, an honest person, a hardworking person...because they learn that from you...the one who decided to bring them into this world and if you have a poor way to teach them...believe you me...they are going to learn it well...from you.

Why don't you start by adhering to the laws and regulations set forth for the same people that you selected to rule this county, this country. Start parking in the right place in the right way, stop parking on fire lanes, on handicap spaces, behind the dumpster so that you can run and get your offspring because your time is more precious than everyone else in this God forsaking planet of ours...start using your turn signals, stop running red lights and stop signs (you are going to kill someone one of these days). Stop been late for heaven's sake and expecting everyone else to stop for you because you are more important. Stop making illegal u-turns in illegal places...follow the line in an orderly fashion...the world is not going to end because you can't deal with traffic; however some times I wish it did.

I am not done...but lets just stop for now...I have more to say...but that will be later....

Former Loudoun Teacher Indicted On 50 Counts Of Child Pornography
http://www.leesburgtoday.com/news/former-loudoun-teacher-indicted-on-counts-of-child-pornography/article_8c550b1e-99a3-11e3-bf06-0019bb2963f4.html?mode=story

The former Algonkian Elementary School art teacher arrested in September on child pornography charges has been indicted by a grand jury on 50 counts of possession of child pornography.

He is scheduled to enter a plea in the matter at 9 a.m. Friday, April 11.

Ralph Watts Conrad III, 43, from Hamilton, was arrested at his home Sept. 10. He was initially charged with one count of distribution of child pornography and two counts of possession of child pornography.

Prior to his arrest, Conrad had been employed by Loudoun County Public Schools for 15 years. His last position was as an art teacher at Algonkian Elementary School. He also has worked as an itinerant teacher at six other schools during his 15-year career. For this school year, he was assigned to Creighton’s Corner Elementary School, but had only been there one day at the time of his arrest.

After his arrest, Conrad was placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the legal proceedings.

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office was informed by the Department of Homeland Security about Conrad’s alleged activities Aug. 20 and immediately launched a local probe. During the three-week investigation, Conrad was placed under surveillance as investigators worked “to build a case to get probable cause to get a warrant and seize” computers and other equipment from his home, Maj. Richard Fiano, the head of the sheriff’s office’s criminal investigations division, told Algonkian parents during a meeting Sept. 13.

The day before his arrest a search warrant was issued for Conrad’s Hamilton home and at 6 a.m. Sept. 10 investigators executed the warrant before he left for school. Several items were seized and a mobile unit from the Internet Crimes Against Children task force conducted initial forensic analysis. What investigators found was enough to place Conrad under arrest at his home.

Former Loudoun teacher pleads guilty to scores of child porn charges
http://www.insidenova.com/news/loudoun/former-loudoun-teacher-pleads-guilty-to-scores-of-child-porn/article_501cee1a-9e06-52e5-9c29-d5bddb733688.html

The former elementary school art teacher charged with 50 counts of possession of child pornography pleaded guilty in Loudoun Circuit Court Friday. He faces sentencing July 25.

Ralph Watts Conrad III, 43, of Hamilton, appeared before Judge Stephen Sincavage Friday and pleaded guilty to 50 counts of possession of sexually explicit visual materials. Each count carries a maximum sentence of one to five years in prison. As a result of his plea, Conrad’s bond was revoked and he was taken into the custody of the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office. In addition, a psychiatric evaluation was ordered to be completed before sentencing.

According to the proffer of facts presented by the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office in connection with the plea agreement in the case, in August 2013 the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by an agent from Homeland Security Investigations Immigration and Customs Enforcement who said she had a suspect from Loudoun. The agent had been working an “image source” website with a URL from Russia, that used American flags to identify IP addresses from users in the United States. The federal government had launched a national investigation, Operation Protego, to target U.S. residents who used “imaged sources” as a means to “receive, distribute, advertise, possess, and/or access with the intent to view” child pornography.

Account logs showed a user who registered in 2011, later identified to be Conrad, had been accessing the site through May 15, 2013, had created albums of images, commented on other albums and posted content to a blog containing his user name.

In June, the investigation led to Conrad’s identification, and sealed federal warrants for his email addresses uncovered correspondence about and containing child pornography. In September a warrant was issued for Conrad’s Hamilton area home, and computer forensics agents from the Department of Homeland Security discovered pornographic images and videos on his home laptop. Conrad was arrested that day. Further investigation uncovered more than 500 videos and 2,700 images of child pornography, according to the commonwealth’s proffer of evidence.

Prior to his arrest, Conrad had been employed by Loudoun County Public Schools for 15 years. His last position was as an art teacher at Algonkian Elementary School. He also has worked as an itinerant teacher at six other schools during his 15-year career. For this school year, he was assigned to Creighton’s Corner Elementary School, but had only been there one day at the time of his arrest.

Also found during the September 2013 search of his home, according to the commonwealth's proffer of evidence was "a letter of discipline stating he had been suspended from his job as a teacher for having inappropriate sexual conversation with a middle school student."

It is unclear if that suspension is related to the six-month suspension Conrad faced two school years ago, which was brought up by Algonkian Elementary School parents during a meeting after Conrad's arrest. Responding to parents' inquiries at that meeting, Superintendent Edgar B. Hatrick said Conrad was put on leave for an investigation, but that it was not related to the current charges and did not involve criminal activity. “We did not think there was any risk to the students,” he said at the time.

Loudoun County Public Schools spokesperson Wayde Byard said the school system could not comment on the matter since it is part of a personnel record.

Conrad will face final sentencing at 4 p.m. Friday, July 25.

He does not have an active VA license and he is not on the revoked/cancelled/suspended list either. If he turned in his license it would show up here. If his license was pulled, it also would show up. Don't know how it works if he just did not renew it.
