"Fairfax County, Va., police charged a teacher at an elementary school with sexually assaulting a student.

Sean Lanigan, 43, of Centreville, a physical education teacher at Center Ridge Elementary School in Centreville, turned himself in to police on Friday. He is charged with abduction and aggravated sexual battery of a juvenile under 13 years old.

On Jan. 12, the victim was working with a small group of students helping Lanigan clean up the gym when Lanigan picked the girl up, touched her inappropriately and carried her into a nearby room, police said.

When the girl tried to leave, Lanigan pushed her down and lay on top of her, police said. When the girl said she had to go, Lanigan released her, according to authorities.

Lanigan, a full-time teacher with the school district since 1997 who has been at Center Ridge since 1998, was suspended without pay pending investigations by police and the school district.

Lanigan coached the Herndon High School boys soccer team the past two seasons, and he was expected to return as coach again this spring, according to Herndon High."

I wish these news stations would at least wait until it goes to trial before they plaster someone's face up in high-def.

I'm not sure what makes that guy look "sketchy" aside from an abnormally large neck.

Happened so soon after their FLE classes. Makes me wonder whether she dreamed it. PE teachers don't usually pick up 6th graders and carry them into their office, especially in front of witnesses. Hopefully the other students around can provide coherent statements regarding what they observed.

"Turning himself in" simply means that he surrendered when he found out he was wanted for arrest, rather than fleeing. It has nothing whatsover to do with admitting guilt.

yo he coached me in soccer too! also was a teacher back in the day @ Bull Run Elementary and was such a great guy. He would share stories of his soccer days, and was thoroughly interested in my budding soccer career.

I do not believe these claims, this 12 year old girl must be neglected at home or something, she is screaming for attention and there is no way this can be true. It is a fucked up world now-a-days, and anyone will do anything to get money or pub. later.

Just because someone had always been the "nice guy" or the nice teacher doesn't mean they have no hidden skeletons or weird desires. And with all kinds of perverted internet porn nonsense, some people become secret addicts. How many times have you seen or heard people who are completely deemed "normal" everyday folks only to find out they are just perverts? But I pity his family the most - whether he is guilty or not, his family is ultimate the one who is paying the price. His spouse must be devastated by the news.....

I thought everyone knew that. There are people who think
"turned himself in" means they admit guilt?

Here is a good post from another site:

Quote

I think there's a huge difference between saying someone is guilty of child molestation versus thinking he's a jerk on the soccer field. I haven't always been a fan of Sean's (to say the least) as a coach -- his outbursts are pretty well-known. That said,as a mom of a child of that age, I also know him as a husband and father -- there's a huge part of me who prays that these allegations are untrue. His wife and children are a testament to the good in him. As a mom, I also feel for the child in the story. Let's all hope that our system works here and that level heads and justice prevail! We should also all hope that the innocents in this don't have to suffer!

Until this, I had heard nothing but good things about Sean.

Andy Park-

You clip and paste the article above and write "a sketchy looking guy indeed"? You base this on what? His picture? The article? Karma is a bitch, and you had better hope and pray that this is not you someday. If this could happen to this man, this could happen to anyone.

You never really no anyone, I understand that. Watch this play out though mouth behind a keyboard. His reputation is screwed, but he will not be found guilty.

What the article above doesn't say it that the girl waited three days to tell her parents. I find that a bit strange.

A teacher assaults a person and that person waits three days to tell the parents? Usually 12 year olds going running to their parents. Something fishy going on here.

So what does that say about people who claim to have been abused by priests as children and come forward decades later? Are we not to lend them any credence as well?

What I can't come to grips with is that before this guy ever had a chance to defend himself, his picture is placed in the paper and on TV as though he is guilty before ever even going to trial.

This is WRONG!

This man MIGHT, or might NOT be innocent and the MEDIA has placed his picture and name in the public eye for all to draw thier own conclusions even though he may be 100% innocent.

Make all the arguments you want to the effect of this guys innocence at a trial.
I just don't understand how just becase an accusation is made wether it be child mol. or bank robbery that the MEDIA be allowed to treat American citizens this way. An arrest is NOT a conviction.

Well the problem is actually, that if he is found to be innocent, he will have this degrading PRESS STORY with pictures and personal info to wrestle with. They need to wait until after CONVICTIONS to do THE BIG STORY. Especially with sensitive issues like this one, then we wouldn't have this problem now would we?

Don't get me wrong. If this guy is guilty then he should rot. I do NOT defend his supposed actions at all just point out the character damage that is as a result of the media's protocol for news stories.

I have complained in earlier threads that pics of accused should be outlawed because one loses their life (career and usually family) on an accusation. Put up all the pics you want following a conviction. No one is demanding pics of the accusers following not-guilty verdicts, why are we putting up pics of accused before guilty verdicts?

That's how it is, but that does not mean thats how it should be.
Just like our commander in chief should not be presupposing guilt on criminals HE wishes to CONSTITUIONAL RIGHTS to.
I think it's time for him to retire from the medias speaking podem to the oval office with a bottle of vodka and what ever else will shut him up and keep America running right.

It presents a conflict of interest on the police dept.'s part because they protect the identity of the accusOR but take no consideration about the rights of the accusED, and the FACT that it all PRESUPPOSES GUILT.

My kids went to Centre Ridge over a 10 year period. I've known Sean from school and from his involvement in the community. Sean is a stand-up guy, well liked by the kids, and well respected in the community. Sean is a hands-on teacher (no pun intended), meaning that he is very involved with the kids. Only in a hypersensitive world could this be construed as a crime. There is no way on God's green earth that he molested this girl. Come on people, there were other kids present - does it make sense to you that he carried a girl into his office and layed on top of her while kids were just outside his door?

I will eat my hat if he is guilty. She will eat my hat if she is lying. And I hope that if she is found to be lying or exaggerating about this incident that her picture will be plastered all over the internet with the heading LIAR.

I will support Sean Lanigan until this case is resolved.

The reaction of many on this site is the reason why young women don't come forward. Not only are you assaulted once by the predator, you are assaulted by the justice system, and public opinion.
There is no justice get real.
Just because someone was your coach does not mean that you know them. You never
really know people. Psycopaths are the best at deception and they are attracted to positions of authority. Lawyers, teachers, priests, law enforcement, principals, administratiors,doctors. There are more people with psycopathy as a deficit, than eating disorders and autisim. They are successful in life because they don't have the burden of a conscience.
If there are any other children who have had the misfortune of being violated
by these creeps and their supporters why on earth would they come forward.
Unless they want a Colonial stokade type humiliation.

I don't believe she tried to get a PE teacher fired. Perhaps she embellished the story the way young girls are known to do. Then she couldn't retreat from her story because the school and cops were involved, and she was more afraid of her parents thinking she's a liar than the consequences for poor Mr. Lanigan. It's happened a thousand times before.

If you have credible evidence that Mr. Lanigan is a pedophile, please contact the police and put your statement on record, and testify about it. If you are full of crap, shut up and stop sullying this man's good name. My daughter was at that school for 7 years and never mentioned anything innappropriate regarding Mr. Lanigan. To this day, he is one of her favorite teachers from that era. She is shocked, as many in the community are, to hear about these unsubstantiated charges.

I would not call the anonymous posters on this board "the public" or value their opinion.

They (or the one or two) are cowards who just looking for ways to get their jollies.

If you knew/know this man and you think he is innocent, write him a letter explaining that and offer to be a character witness or contribute to his defense fund.

If you know/knew this man and think he is guilty, go to the police with any evidence you think you have.

Other than that - posting anonymously on this board is a big waste of time. We got window tinting and DUI issues to discuss for god's sake.

Sad to say but this stuff happens a lot. When I was in elementary school at virginia run a little girl accused a gym teacher of touching her and he was, needless to say, fired but i never heard anything after that. i presume the charges were dropped or not even pursued. A year or two after that another girl pretended someone tried to abduct her and sent the police on a wild goose chase only to find that she made the whole thing up. It had the whole community in a frenzy.

Im not saying that this man is innocent or guilty, but jumping to conclusions isnt the answer. I too will be curious to learn how this pans out. Little girls can, and often are, full of shit.

I've known Coach Lanigan for 10 years. He helped me get on the best girls youth soccer team of my age. He did everything he could do make me play to my maximun potential. He's been an incredible coach and friend to my entire family for years and this is impossible. Everybody that I've ever known and knows Sean, thinks he is amazing and loves the man. He simply is not capable of an act like this. The 12 year old is lying out of her ass. When I heard of his arrest, I didn't think it could possibly be true. Lanigan is always light-hearted and making jokes, but he would never take it that far.

In answer to the girl who says she had Coach Lanigan for six years and that touched her and all the girls regularly: My daughter (now 13 and at Liberty Middle School) also had Lanigan as a coach for six years. She says Lanigan never touched her or any girls she saw. She and her friends were talking about this in school today and saying that the little girl lied because they never saw Lanigan do this to anyone. All the kids I know love Mr. Lanigan.

The proper thing to do now is wait and see how this turns out. In the meantime, how about keeping Mr. Lanigan's photo out of the papers unless he is proven guilty? And the person who wrote "a sketchy looking guy" above should be ashamed.

There you have it: He is an excellent soccer coach, so this could not have happened. He may have done it and he may not have done it. (I hope that FCPD interviewed multiple children before going ahead.) But the fact that he got you on a good soccer team is as irrelevant as it can be, just as his bad behavior on the sidelines at soccer games is irrelevant.

This media circus has been sad, and I pray that Sean is proven innocent and can move on with his life. His wife and children do not deserve the fact their loved one has been plastered from here to kingdom come without any proof of the fact he may be innocent. He has to be. The story is fishy and Sean would never do this. He has coached my kids and too many of my close friends kids for years, and NO ONE has ever witnessed behavior that was innapropriate. I hope the county takes this to the bitter end to prove he is innocent. He has a 12 year old daughter, and would never do this.

Yet another reason why the accused should not be made public in these cases.

If they are found guilty and then release pictures and names. Then the "others" can come forward if there are any and he/she can be tried for those allegations as well. We have too many stories of people accused and named publicly, only to find that the accused retracts the story. If that is going to happen, let it happen out of the public eye.

What makes you say that? I mean, do you have some
statistics or something on the timing of children
of that age? Because my anecdotal evidence is that
they DON'T go running to tell their parents right away.

I don't know what's odd or not about the story (eg. the witnesses).
It's terrible when people are convicted in the press like this.
Hopefully we will learn the truth, and I am sure there's nobody
who hopes the allegations are true.

I've known Sean since about 1988...there is absolutely no way he did anything like what he is being accused of. As someone said above - he does joke a lot. He loves coaching and teaching and interacting with kids; and he is extremely good at it, but does have a joking, kind of rough approach. So, I can see him perhaps picking someone up and joking around.

The whole story just sounds so hokey, especially if you know him. Not only is he an upstanding and sincere, caring person - he is also very smart, and the story paints a picture of someone that would have to be a complete idiot and desperate idiot, too. There is just no way that "this" is Sean.

I've co-coached soccer teams and at camps with Sean and had my Gks trained by Sean for 20+ years. He is an outstanding person with high morals and has always acted in a responsible, serious and mature way. Like all people, he just possibly made some mistake in taking rough-housing a bit far, and/or the girl (as someone has mentioned) is just exaggerating and/or over-reacting etc...that has been known to happen with kids a lot. He has likely learned a really hard lesson in today's world.

The police must had credible evidence to arrest this man. They must have interviewed other students, and they must have had the same stories. I highly doubt that they would just interview the accuser and then arrest the man. I know that this country is "Innocent until proven guilty," but their must be credible evidence.

so the accusation was that he just picked this girl up caveman style, dragged her into a room and "layed" on top of her? and also that other 12-13 year olds witnessed the first part? i mean i know that age group isnt the brightest but...im pretty sure most children have a distinct sense of right and wrong at that age, and theres no plausible way he could have expected to do this in front of them and think they were clueless...to be completely honest there are way more messed up, disturbed, attention seeking children in the public school system than there ever will be teachers, id bet money that more than half of these types of cases are all bs.

I would like to make a comment, first of all I do not know the teacher or the child involve, but I know that CPS and Detectives do not bring charges to the Comonwealth's Attorney if they do no have "Sufficient Evidence" of the charges, they interview not only the victim, but the teacher as well, they also speak with other kids to get all the facts straight. If they have enough evidence to prove the case then and only then they will make the charges. Don't you think that if they have done that is because they have enought to charge him with?

Like I said I do not know the teacher involve, but last year there was another case, at Guston (this is were my kids go to) were the littile girl came forward some weeks after the touching had taken place and told a third person what had happen, vaguely, CPS was called and tought that the charges were bogus, so only the SW went to interview, the detective was called later after talking for hours with the girl she told them what had happen (granted it was while tutoring and she was never left alone, but the parents where not at the table with them either), but she did not run to her parents to tell (like it was mention above),

I know the family and they still do not understand why the girl did not tell them what had happen, that teacher also was popular, loved and very good. He was the best and all the students really, really liked him and cared for him. The girl was 10 at the time, and was also called a liar, was told that probably she was having problems in school and that is why she accuse the teacher. She probably was neglected at home and calling for attention, etc. Well the accusations were true, the teacher plead guilty and is serving 5 years in jail.

So let's wait and see, but if it is true then I feel sorry for the girl and her family, they have been called liars and will have to move because their community chose to CLOSE their eyes and see that pedophilers are regular people, 95% with normal life, family, kids and popular that learn how to GROOM the rest of the world so nobody suspect them. If the charges are false, then same sentiments for the Teacher, he will have a hard time clean his image and the girl family will need to figure out what is wrong with the girl.

But do not assume either way until everything comes out clear, I am incline to believe that SOMETHING happen, wheter it was intentional or not, that is to be seen, but something went on an CPS and FCPS have enough to bring does charges forward.

No, which is thankfully why one gets a trial and can be found not guilty of charges.

Other than those that know this guy, I don't think anyone stated that charges should not be brought if there is evidence. The problem is you lose your life on the accusation before the first juror is chosen because of the publication of pictures and names of the accused. I think all sexual crimes should be prosecuted and I don't know that anyone disputes that.

But the identity of the non-convicted accused needs to be protected until conviction due to the massive social penalties involved. This is a case where the public accusation is a life sentence.

mr. lanigan was my pe teacher in 7th grade. In 1997 he worked at stone middle school. He is an extremely inappropriate teacher. He is a fun loving teacher but he makes sexual comments to all of the girls in his classes. For example on my birthday he told me that if its my birthday i should take a lap around the gym in by birthday suit. He made several comments towards me and my friends and one day he grabbed my shoulder in an attempt to get me to stay close to him. I was able to remove myself from the situation without any harm, I told my mom and my counselor in school. Mr. Lanigan was removed from stone middle school and apparently placed at center ridge. He definitely engages in verbal sexual harassment and has had complaints. I doubt I am the only one that has complained. I was 13 when this happened so I'm not at all surprised and completely believe that this young girl is telling the truth. His record is not publicized at this time so everyone does not know the number of complaints filed against him. I wish this teacher had been removed from the system years ago so no one else would have gone through this.

Again, if you think he is guilty and have information go to the police.Do not post it here and expect to get sympathy or a fair hearing.

I have read over all these posts and feel the need to say what I know. My children all attend Centre Ridge and had the privlege of having Sean Lanigan as their teacher. We also know the accuser and have known her for the last seven years. I don't believe a thing that she is saying. I do believe the person that stated she is looking for attention hit the nail on the head. A week before these allegations took place she stated to several children on the bus that she "hated" Mr.Lanigan. It was never relayed to me why but I can assume it has to do with the fact she was a patrol and Mr.Lanigan was the teacher in charge of all patrols and she recently had several complaints issued against her (she called many children faggots,fat and a little girl with glasses a nerd, which may be typical 6th grade banter,but unacceptable when you have been chosen to have a job where you are placed in a position of authority). Fast forward to the day the letter was sent home to all parents concerning the incident, a child opened the letter on the bus and the accuser stated the letter was about her, she was then asked to autograph a couple of the letters. I am so thankful that my son came to me and told me all this and was mature enough to recognize that he should tell an authority figure. I hope and pray that with all of the kids coming forward we will see the truth.My thoughts and prayers are with The Lanigans.

If you really believe the teacher is innocent then I hope you are also contacting the police with what you know... as with everything else it is an anonymous post and could have been made by anyone and not necessarily true, but if you are telling the truth you should at least email the cops with contact info. If the allegations are shown to be false it is possible the police charged the wrong person.

my information is already with the fairfax county school system as a registered complaint against Mr. Lanigan. it was the reason he was transferred out of stone middle school. the reason i posted this information on fairfax underground is not for sympathy, its just so people know that you can not have any idea what type of sexuality a person has just because they are a 'good guy' Of course he is good to you he's not thinking anything perverse about you. Almost everyone keeps their sexual tendencies private or share with a very small group. I was in his class i know how fun he can be, all of the kids liked his class its one of the reasons why so many girls did NOT complain. who knows maybe he didnt do anything this time, but he does have this tendency...regardless he should not be flirting with 12 year old girls. weather the girls is a brat or a little angel doesnt matter, he is inappropriate and should be at least removed from teaching or working with children. I personally think he should go to jail but i'm not a judge or jury and we'll see how his trial goes. I think the support he's getting is ridiculous no one can know what is going on in his brain.

You would think they would have credible evidence before charging someone and ruining their life - but looked what happened to that bozo school vice prinicpal in Loudon who allowed a "child porn" sexting message to be sent to his own cell phone so he could save it for future/further "evidence". Dumb on his part, but the Loudon County prosecutor, supposedly spurred on by a zealous parent, went after him. Even though he beat the charge, he was financially ruined until Loudon agreed to pick up his attorney's bill (6 figures as I recall)

So, yes spurious charges COULD happen. I think this forum has established FCPD is not to be trusted nor taken at their word.

But a flip side, when I was 11 or 12 something similar happened to me and I never told anyone but my same-age cousin - until right now anyway. So, nothing ever came of it. So, I understand the kid a bit too, expecially if its a well liked teacher.

I still think FCPD should not release information this publicly until it has gone to trial. But, they are probably trolling for other instances to back up this case.

If FCPD wanted me to come down to the station for a chat, I would call an attorney first - no matter what was going on.

I have always felt it was awful when a person who was accused of a crime had their picture and details published, and so agree with the folks here who state they dislike this practice.

It is interesting though how many people are touting his innocence and complaining about the publishing of his photo, when many people on this forum (not saying they are the same people) love posting photos and stats of other people accused of crimes and stating they "must be guilty" (and interesting that in those cases the accused are often latino or black, wonder why the difference).

Teachers are often easy targets which is concerning, but just as concerning is the fact that kids are easy targets as well.

He may have been completely appropriate with many students and many classes, and totally inappropriate with others. If he is a pedophile, then he knows whom to target (and hey, how easy is it to target a vulnerable and possibly disliked girl according to some of the posts...then people will easily blame the victim and/or accuse her of lying).


One post alleges that he was moved from one middle school to another because of similar allegations...reminds me of priests who also, assumingly, were well loved by those who weren't molested.

Folks who are pedophiles don't make it obvious, or they would be caught much sooner than they typically are.

If he is innocent, then I am hopeful the truth comes out quickly and his name is cleared.

If he is guilty, then I am hopeful the truth comes out quickly and the little girl's (and other possible victims)name is cleared.

Since last week, PE pals had ended! Both Mr. Sanders and Mr. Lanigan nicknames most of the students including me. Now I only have one PE teacher who still nicknames me the same name. The victim used to be in Tuesday PE pals but that is as far as I will go. But, Mr. Brooks is nice too as a temporary replacement. Before that, he was the school's temporary assistant principal. I wish he still was.

One time at soccer camp, Mr, Lanigan went out to his car for about 20 minutes. When he came back he was staggering and smelled of elderberry. He then dribble a soccer ball on the tip of his weiner while reciting the lord's prayer. Needless to say we went undefeated that season.

I am a male teacher in the Fairfax County Public School system, and a married father of two. I also coach multiple sports both at the club and high school levels. A few years ago, I had some girls in one of my classes who insisted on dressing in the skimpiest skirts available with thongs underneath while simultaneously wearing tiny tops. Although the adolescent boys in my room were quite impressed, I was quite annoyed and, on several occasions, I asked them or had a female staffer ask them to leave my room until they could dress more appropriately. These girls were also terrible students, which created perfect conditions for what was about to happen.
After school one day, our school and safety specialist came down to my room and told me one of the principals needed to talk to me. Thinking nothing of it, I walked to the front of the school and into his office, where a police officer, our school "SRO", waited with him. I asked what was up, and the principal said, "There's no easy way to say this..." and proceeded to tell me that several girls had made allegations that I had done inappropriate things with them. The principal, who was not the head guy but an assistant, seemed quite embarrassed and the SRO refused to even question me. However, I went nuts- I vehemently denied the accusations and demanded to know who had brought them against me- the principal said he was very sorry, but he couldn't tell me. It didn't really matter, I knew damned well who was behind it, but I left that day and figured that I was in the clear- nobody could possibly take the word of a few lousy students who came to school dressed like streetwalkers over that of a respected teacher with years of experience and a plethora of accolades. I didn't realize how wrong I was, but I soon found out.
The next week, I was teaching my class as usual when a different assistant principal showed up at my door, He told me that I had to come with him, and I needed to take anything that I would be taking home later with me. I was astonished! I was being treated as though I were one of the students, in front of my students, without ever even knowing WHO was accusing me, and having never been able to defend the allegations formally. That didn't matter- when I reached the office, a Fairfax COunty Public Schools investigator was there. He told me what had been said about me , and he asked for my side. I told him I had nothing to say, he could talk to my lawyer (looking back, I think if I HAD tried to make a statement, they would have tried to put me on unpaid leave- defending yourself sometimes has the odd effect of making you look guilty). He handed me a piece of paper to sign confirming that I was being put on paid leave pending the outcome of a full investigation. I lost it- I said that if a breath of this reached the media I would sue everyone involved, leave their children out to starve on the street, and live fat and happy off of the money I would be awarded from the county.
In a way, I felt bad for the two assistant principals that had to hear my tirade- they were good men- honorable guys who were secretly on my side and saw the horrific injustice in the situation. However, god guys or not, I would have done exactly what I said I was going to do had the news gotten out. My head principal however, was a spineless jellyfish coward nursing a well -deserved inferiority comples whose genesis was his utter lack of social prowess during adolescence and adutlhood. He was a doughy , bespectacled , soft-willed pussy who saw the chance to make himself look heroic at my expense. He played the suffering principal, doing what he had to do to protect the children and protect a teacher while secretly, as I learned directly from the school resource officer later, he was trying to do anything he could to get me in legal hot water.
I was tossed out of the school, my name was dragged through the mud by some in the building while the vast majority supported me, and I remained unable to return to my job for about six weeks, at the conclusion of which I was told I could return. I was , but not before the principal was on his way to another school, the girls who spearheaded the effort to crucify me were removed from the school, and I was given my choice of classes. Just the same, I nearly held out to sue someone anyway but my lawyer talked me out of it:I hadn't suffered financial loss and I was given my pound of flesh.
My point in all of this is this- while there are certainly many evil teachers who DO molest children, there are also spiteful children out to ruin teachers. The fervor created by teacher scandals has certainly resulted in witch hunt,as was the case with me, and I firmly believe that it is the same way with Sean Lanigan, a man I have known for thirty years and who has been repeatedly and consistently recognized as the pillar of the community, and the epitome of what a good educator, teacher, and man should be. While Irecognize thatthere is the CHANCE that he did it, there is also a CHANCE that the poles will reverse, I will discover the lost city of Atlantis at my community pool, and the Catholic Church will come out tomorrow and say "WHAT THE HELL, LET'S MARRY SOME GAYS".
Being a teacher comes with little reward: the money sucks, we have to endure scurrilous attacks by assholes who insist that public education is the root of all evil, and we are underappreciated for the most part. Those of us who are in it and do our best for our students do it for the love of working with young kid and the sense of satisfaction attained by forming lasting relationships with the community based on mutual respect. If good men continue to be persecuted for things they didn't do while trying to do their best in a profession with limited financial reward, you will soon see those same good men saying, "What the hell do I need this for"? The loss in such a situation would be great for all those who would then never get a teacher like Sean,

You got that right.

Anytime a kid makes an accusation against an adult, the kid is automatically believed.

If the kid is special ed, FCPS does everything possible to avoid a lawsuit.

On occasion, adults do bad things to children.

Children do the same to adults when they LIE.

You are right about getting an attorney before speaking to the cops.

Detective Wayne Promisel (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=&as_epq=wayne+promisel&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images)was notorious about getting an accused to incriminate himself even if nothing had taken place.

To those who automatically think that all acccused are guilty"

Just ask the custodian at Oakton Elementary http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/articleprint.asp?article=235404&paper=62&cat=104.

Ditto for the special ed bus driver in the lower end of the county.

Ditto for the music teacher at Annandale High( http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/19/AR2006101901655.html ).

They were all accused on specious grounds.

Where did the charges go?

You could look it up.

Go ahead, name him or her because the truth will set you free.

The retired former Deputy Police Chief, perhaps?

As I have said on many occasions, FCPS doesn't need proof when an accusation will suffice.

Sorry to hear what happened to you. A similar thing happened to me.

Thanks for sharing your story... my guess is the Centre Ridge guy probably went through the same thing except got charges and a press release instead of a green light to go back.

I'm not sure how those who believe the identity of accused should not be released until a conviction is reached could lobby for such a law. The politics of it are horrendous... those opposed would claim anyone supporting such a rule is trying to protect child molesters and preventing other victims from coming forward as soon as they could otherwise. I guess we'd need testimony from guys like you, sorry you went through that and that teachers are often society's unsung heroes. I know of a couple of divorced dads who had to go through the same shit because their ex-wives wanted to bury them, and false accusations sexual abuse of children is a great way to make that happen quickly... it is a terrible weapon.

Convicted molesters should get the harshest penalties possible, as should any false accusers. With a better system I think we'd have fewer molesters and fewer false accusations because the penalties for both would be overwhelming.

Truckin':
I had to laugh at your deadpan sense of humor, and I agree that in some regard it is on the money. The specifics of MY case cannot be applied to a different case logically. My point was that too often the knee jerk reaction is "this guy victimized a little girl" especially when his picture is all ove the news. You yourself portray this bias when, in your opening to this thread, you reported the story but felt compelled to include " a sketchy looking guy indeed". I know the man, I have been in his shoes, and based on that I am biased the OTHER way.
By the way, Truckin, people tend NOT to look their best in police mugshots, they usually have some things on their mind, and the photographer isn't overly concerned with the beauty of his subject.

I think what everyone needs to understand that Sean Lanigan has been accused of abuduction and aggravated sexual battery. That does not mean he is guilty. Its a shame that everyone is jumping to conclusions. The man has coached many kids in many different leagues and has been a teacher for over 10 years. In my coaching days, many parents drop their kids off for practices and leave until the practice is over. This man put a lot of his time in making kids better atheletes and preparing them for the future. I have to admit, something does not sound right in this case, but the man has not been convicted of anything yet. Either way, his name has been tarnished for ever. I hate to say it. I also know if something did happen, then Sean Lanigan deserves any punishment that he would be given.

I heard of a case where a poor performing teaching was accused by a similar group of middle school aged girl students of using a racial epithet in reference to one them. Lousy teacher, poor SOL performer, but still not they type to use racial words around kids. Since the principal wanted him out of there anyway the path was cleared, he was basically forced to resign. Beware of snotty girls is all I can say.

Sixth-Graders Who Accused Teacher of Fondling Charged in Hoax



By Brigid Schulte and Michael E. Ruane
Washington Post Staff Writers
Tuesday, March 14, 2000; Page A01



The sixth-grade girls were angry at their gym teacher. He'd yelled at them for bad sportsmanship in front of the whole class. They wanted to get even. So they said he'd stared at their breasts and fondled them in the locker room.


Within hours, the Montgomery County teacher, Ronald Heller, was suspended with pay and ordered to leave the school.


But the charges weren't true.


Yesterday, nearly a month after making up the story--then later recanting in tears--six girls and a boy were arrested and charged as juveniles with making false statements to police. For an adult, the penalty for such a crime is a $500 fine or six months in jail; for a juvenile, there's more discretion.


Their parents brought the students, described by police as honor students and "good kids" at Roberto Clemente Middle School in Germantown, to the police department's family services division in Wheaton. Police fingerprinted, photographed, booked, then released them to their parents.


The students, whose names were not released because they are juveniles, have been suspended from school for 10 days, and further punishment is being discussed, school officials said.


Heller, a stocky man in his fifties who has coached several sports teams in his 32-year career, has been reinstated and was expected to return to teaching today. "I don't want to talk about it," he said, standing outside his Gaithersburg home. "I knew I was right all along."


In a letter sent home with students yesterday, Principal Rosalva Rosas said Heller has been "fully exonerated" and would be "welcomed as a friend and colleague."


"I want to emphasize how terrible the consequences have been because of the lies and the subsequent rumors," the principal wrote in the letter. "The teacher suffered the personal and professional effects of false allegations."


Students make up stories all the time, educators say, for lots of reasons. Phony 911 calls. Prank bomb threats. And while fibs generally haven't led to arrests, some courts are becoming more inclined to punish children for making up stories.


In Anne Arundel County, several children as young as 8 were arrested for sending notes and warning of nonexistent bombs. One 13-year-old boy was sentenced to two weeks of house arrest and 40 hours of community service for making a bomb threat.


Prosecutors worry that these arrests might make children who are victims of sexual abuse afraid to report it.


"But this was a rare case. These kids maliciously conspired, police believed and acted upon it, and someone's reputation was tarnished," said Montgomery State's Attorney Douglas F. Gansler, who decided to bring charges. "The question is, do you put 11- and 12-year-olds in jail for this? Probably not.


"But you certainly want to hold them accountable and understand what they did was wrong," he said. "They owe something to the teacher."


What they owe him is his reputation, said Heller's attorney, Paul F. Kemp. Yet, because of the nature of sexual-misconduct charges, they can't ever fully restore that.


"When they made the charge, that's about 80 percent of the damage to your reputation right there," Kemp said. "Because even if you're found innocent, people will assume you got off on a technicality. Or that there's something there when there's not."


Heller has spent every day since Feb. 16, when he was suspended, "sitting at home, staring at the walls and wondering how he got in the middle of this maelstrom," Kemp said.


Kemp said it started in early February. Heller, known to students as a strict disciplinarian, yelled at several for mouthing off during an intramural game. Feeling humiliated, they wanted revenge.


So six girls and a boy concocted the story that Heller had followed the girls into the locker room, hugged them, touched them and grabbed at least one girl's buttock.


They went to the school counselor with the story. School officials ordered Heller off school property and told him not to return until police investigated the charges.


While the details were vague, the students' stories seemed airtight at first, police said.


"These were all honor roll students, very involved in the school. We had no reason to doubt them," said Sgt. Richard Cage, investigative supervisor with the family services division. "The whole thing seems so bizarre."


But slowly, under questioning, their story began to fall apart. The boy broke first, admitting they had made the whole thing up.


"We let them know that these are serious accusations, could cost a person their position and could lead to criminal charges," said Stan Schaub, head of human resources for the school system. "I just don't think he wanted that on his head."


One by one, the students recanted the story. Last week, when Heller offered to take a lie detector test to prove his innocence, police told him the investigation was over. The students lied.


"The question is, what motivated them to do this, and do they understand the ramifications of it, because you're dealing with a real person's life," Gansler said. "The irony is, here children are attempting to ruin his reputation for no reason, for nothing. And they almost got away with it."


Such accusations are a teacher's nightmare and are all too frequent, teachers union officials say.


"It's a regular occurrence that students are charging teachers with some form of abuse, whether it be physical or sexual," Susan Russell, the chief lawyer for the Maryland State Teachers Association, which represents 53,000 teachers statewide, said yesterday.


"Literally, we get a phone call every day, sometimes three or four," from teachers reporting accusations, she said. Most often, she said, the accusations are not true.


She said students often don't realize the gravity of what they're doing. "Kids haven't developed their full ethical code," she said. And "times have changed. There's less respect for elders in general, parents, teachers."


In one of the worst such cases in recent years, a Chicago elementary school student in 1994 paid $1 bribes to fellow students to accuse a substitute teacher of abuse. The teacher was later cleared.


But the damage often lingers.


"What shouldn't be minimized is that a teacher's reputation is everything," said Mark Simon, president of the Montgomery County Education Association, which represents 9,500 county teachers. "Typically what happens is a teacher is immediately put on leave. So there's an atmosphere . . . that this teacher must have done something."


Across the country, teachers are taking precautions to avoid abuse charges. In some places, teachers now hesitate to hug students.


"You hear teachers saying they don't touch kids anymore, they don't hug kids, they don't stay in a closed room by themselves with a student. It's something they keep in the back of their minds," said Julie Underwood, general counsel of the National School Boards Association.


"Even if it were to happen very infrequently, teachers are still going to be worried about it because it's such a horrific thing to happen in your career."

Of course they don't look their best in mugshots. That's why it's funny. I'm glad you at least see my humor. And after all the outpouring of support for this guy, I'm starting to think that the girl is probably lying. I realize that occasionaly, people can change for the worse but 12 year old girls make up stories much more frequently.

....So maybe you guys haven't thought about the possibility of witnesses...if you read the story, it says she was picked up while she was in a group of students and taken away....I'm confident there was someone who must have witnessed what happened.

The public has a right to know, whether he is convicted or not. For all those who want to be mad at the police or media, you would be LIVID if you knew there was a teacher that was arrested for touching kids teaching at your school because he wasn't convicted and you weren't informed. Police usually need enough evidence to obtain a warrant.

On the other hand, I hope this isn't true because its sad to see this in the schools.

No one has to go any farther than the title of this blog, "Centre Ridge PE teacher sexually assaults 12-year-old girl", to see how society reflexively treats adults who only have been accused of something by a child. There's nothing in this blog title to suggest that this is only an allegation. Because there are bad people out there, and Sean Lanigan definitely is NOT one of those, our society is extremely protective of our young children (and rightfully so). However, Sean was having a normal day when he was called about the supposed event and asked to talk with the authorities about it. He did so and was put in Fairfax County Jail for five days until bond could be posted and has been suspended from all school and soccer coaching employment. He's had to hire a lawyer to protect his good name and exceptional reputation (before this sad event). When all of the facts come out and he is exonerated, is he expected to just go on with his life as if nothing happened? And will the blogs then have a title of, "12 year old girl ruins the good name of an honorable man"? I doubt it.

rfj942e,

I DO NOT NEED THE MEDIA TO CHECK THE CRIMINAL PAST OF ANY TEACHERS IN MY CHILDRENS SCHOOLS. On the other hand, if an arrest notification is to be made public, the specifics should NOT be plasterd all over news papers and TV shows. Rather any concerned citizen can check public records to find out the specifics if interested. SO YOUR ARGUMENT IS SHIT.

The Media's current protocol is maliciously defamatory and some may argue sexist being that men are most commonly victimized in this fashion.

Also, you think just because there was an arrest, or a warrant served means "enough evidence". Hell no, thats what the Nolle pros. shit is forbwhen a prosecutor realises a case doesn't hold water because it doesnt have enough evidence. Besides thats what jurys do. They are te ones who decide guilt and if enough evidence was presented to convict. NOT THE ARRESTING OFFICERS OR A JUDGE THAT GRANTS A WARRANT!

Oopsie Daisy,
Learn to fucking spell. Please tell me what forbwhen, te and realises mean. Clearly, you should not comment on anything in the schools because you spell like a 5 year old and probably didn't make it past third grade. You have poor grammar. I pray to God you do not actually have children because you clearly have no regard for their safety and cannot even spell. Learn about the legal system and government before even trying say anything. I am sure you are simply embarrassed because you have been arrested and its been made public. Maybe you should stop drinking.

I do not want this accusation to be true. It would be very tragic.

You don't know what happened. To all you people who say he couldn't have because he's such a nice guy or whatever, many people found out to be murderers and other criminals have been "nice guys". You can never really know someone. And to the others who want to hang the man, it's true that many children lie. This wouldn't be the first time a person's life is ruined because a kid made up a story. Remember the story about the little girl who said she was touched by the neighbor and police determined it wasn't true? Well that didn't stop the father from stabbing the neighbor to death. Just admit you don't know and leave it at that.

And its no ones business who the girl is UGHH. She is a juvenile and her identity will be private because right now, she is considered a victim. Even if you find out who she is, if you give her a hard time or harass her, you could be criminally charged.

I know what happened because I am a psychic. I looked into my crystal ball and saw this man rubbing HIS "bean bag" all over this girls chin. He said, "My lady do you have crumpets to go with this tea bag."

? You are spelling grammar wrong (recognise? whats that...and you said your worthless - should be YOU'RE, and anything is spelled wrong too)...you cannot be taken seriously if you cannot spell. Hardly bothers me, just makes you look like a tool and a joke. I'm sure if the court saw this document, you would not be looking so hot...just incoherent...but then again, you are starting to sound like you are 15 years old...hmm....
Someone who is acting ridiculous in defending a cause is only hurting it. You are definitely hurting the cause because you obviously lost sight of what just happened. I agree with HeyPeople on this one.

And there was a rebuttal - its public information! Another rebuttal....witnesses...my final rebuttal - you may want to start looking at lawyers as well.

Grow up :)

Here's how I see it. No adult, especially one in a position of authority, has any business touching a child. The guy is a loudmouth but that doesn't make him guilty. But if he ever touched on of my kids, the police would be the least of his concerns.

Now we don't know his side but, if he did pick her up and/or hold her down, regardless of his intentions/perversions, etc. He is a fool. I have heard she is a troubled student. All the more reason to stay away from her.

Nothing good comes from lifting/touching a kid. An innocent swipe of the hand or an inadvertent touch of a private part spells trouble.

The only good outcome is that if she made up the story entirely.

He is either a damn fool or pedophile, or both.

Thats always the way it works. When I was raped by a preist at holy Spirit school/church back in the 70's everyone supported the rapist/preist and his victims had to endure the continued abuse.
I bet that the poor girl who reported this abuse now wishes that she had kept her mouth shut. If Lanigan is any kind of a man at all he will take a plea, do 7 to 10 like a man and spare this poor girl the pain of having to testify at a trial. We will see what kind of a man this Lanigan is.

One of the soccer parents was quoted as saying: "He's been a complete role model and loves sports." He may be completely innocent, but I still have a hard time calling him a role model. This is a guy with a history of being verbally abusive to referees. It is one thing to say his teams win, he is an excellent trainer, or he gets players into D1 schools. Those are all true. But anyone who says he is a role model has his head firmly planted up his rectum. Soccer parents are enablers. They accept bad behavior as long as the team wins.

I am completely dumbounded by people's ignorance. No facts regarding this case have been made public. There has only been an assusation, and an accusation is not a sentence of guilt. In order to file charges and make an arrest, there has to be plausible evidence. They don't charge someone with a crime, without cause. However, it is up to our judicial system to ensure a fair and speedy trial. Obviously, the District Attorney's office has a lot of work to do if they intend to prove Lanigan's guilt. On the other hand, his attorney has a lot of work to do if he/she intends to prove Lanigan's innocence. So let's leave this to the courts and hope both party's attorneys, accused and accuser, do their jobs and justice prevails.

To reiterate my accusation that people are ignorant, simply read the posts. I'm embarrassed for many. Their spelling and grammar are horrendous; how sad! Students are writing in support of their PE teacher, but are embarrasing their school system with their poor grammar. Parents and other adults are not much better. I read dozens upon dozens of posts; many with unpoven accusations and/or support for one side or the other, and only a handful were well written. How you present yourself has a lot to do with how you are perceived by others. If you expect to be taken seriously, then be professional.

I'm really getting sick of the "how dare you think he did this" set. Maybe he did it, maybe he didn't. The reality, though, is we live in a world where well-respected pillars of community in a position of trust can do incredibly fucked up things, and can get away with it because nobody questions their integrity. I'm sure a lot of people thought Bernie Madoff was a decent man. I bet a lot of parents thought their priest was a really great guy, too, right up until the priest fucked their kid.

So yeah, let's not assume he's guilty, but don't assume he's innocent, either. The latter is actually potentially more harmful.

No that's not what an opinion is. An opinion can be proven right or wrong in time (usually) with the facts. Not everyone waits for the facts to draw their opinion. And some of those people don't even realize that what they believe is just an opinion. They think it's a cold hard fact, as evidenced by some of the posters on this thread.

You are completely naive if you think in this world such an accusation doesn't have the same effect as a guilty verdict whether there is a trial or not. Even if they dropped charges due to "insufficient evidence to proceed" everyone would still wonder. This is why accused in these cases should not be publicized. One very obvious "fact" you don't seem to get is the name of the accused.

We get the whole civics lesson. Everything you said can be accomplished while protecting names of both accusers and accused until trials are done.

By the way, it is totally moronic to take posters to task for bad writing when the fourth word of your post is "dumbbounded." What are "assusations"? Gay porn reviews?

if that logic was correct, then why does a "real pervert" assault kids in toys r us stores? It is a matter of being given an opportunity and being a sick headed person not being able to know better. If he is found guilty in court then I definitely say that he should be sent to prison where Bubba will treat him like the other sex offenders. I have no opinion either way, guilty/not guilty as I do not know the facts. That being said, I was just making a point as to say that your story holds no water as to say that a "real pervert" would not do it in a school. Those sickos do that shit all of the time.

Pgens:

I think you missed my point. I don't disagree that the media should not be allowed to publicize the name of the accused or plaster the person's face all over the internet and/or TV. I think that is a completely unfair practice and allows for bias. It also interferes with the ability to find an impartial jury. I'm simply annoyed at the fact that so many people, whether they know the accused or not, have opinions of guilt/not guilt before we have any facts. There is obviously more to the case than we all know, and we therefore do not have enough information to make an informed decision one way or the other.

And my other point is regarding professionalism. Honestly, a slight typo makes me a moron??

Arguing over mere technicalities is a waste of my time. I made no spelling errors, but left a letter out, hence it was a typographical error. Forgive me. My opinion stands, and as a teacher, I repeat that students and parents defending their PE teacher are embarrassing their school system with their poor grammar! If they expect to be taken seriously, then they too should be more professional.

I will presume that the accused is innocent until proven guilty, but the people who say he could not have done it because he is a role model and has a 12 year old daughter have not been paying attention. Consider the case of Ralph Shipler, another Herndon coach. Old Ralphie videotaped his 12 year old daughter's teammates changing. Here is what was said about him at trial: "Not only did people see him as a coach, but as a friendly grandpa, a good husband and father and a good member of the community." Here are the details: http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/articleprint.asp?article=237525&paper=63&cat=104

Another coach who pulled the wool over people's eyes is Bernie McHale. He was referred to as a "well-liked, charismatic coach" at his trial. This did not stop him from playing hide the salami with an underage player: http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/article.asp?article=248541&paper=68%20&cat=104

Concerned Mother I completely agree with your assessment that Sean didn't do what he is alleged to have done with this Centre Ridge student. However, unlike my faith in Sean's innocence, you actually have material input that could greatly assist Sean in defending himself from potentially 30 years in prison if he is (wrongfully) convicted of these charges.

Anonymous emails and/or unsigned letters making factual statements that could potentially help Sean do not carry any weight with Fairfax County Public Schools or Fairfax County Police because, to them, the emails and letters could have been written by Sean himself or some associate of his. They would be entirely correct in dismissing such input.

I sincerely urge you to contact the Fairfax County Police with what you know. Ask them to keep your name and your children's names confidential. Taking that courageous action could well be worth more than 1,000 emails in general support of Sean. Doing it now may head off any more damage to Sean's good name and excellent reputation as a family man, teacher and coach. There's a lot riding on people like you coming forward to the authorities with relevant information about this case.

Are you saying that those priests who are alleged to touch boys don't because they are priests. Everyone is human, no matter their occupation, religous beliefs, etc. Therefore believing what someone will do privately vs. what a person does when alone is not necessarily always the same. ie. this teacher may not have been the same person when talking with parents/fellow teachers and when alone with this 12 year old girl.

Exactly. Some people shouldn't be so quick to condemn him as guilty, but some people need to realize that the people who don't get caught are the people nobody suspects.

To "William is a Moron" Do you think anyone gives your opinions due respect or consider your thoughts as mature when they see how you set up your anonymous response with such an uncivil blog name?

If you know Sean Lanigan and have an opinion as to whether he is capable of doing what he is alleged to have done, feel free to state it, as I did. I've known him for 13 years and my opinion is he's a responsible, stand-up guy who is going to either have these charges dismissed or he'll be found innocent of them after a trial. You obviously don't know Sean but want to reflexively compare him to priests "...who are alleged to touch boys".

And you also state in your blog entry that, "...when alone with this 12-year-old girl." At least one report I've read describes the scenario for this alleged incident as there being four students present in the Centre Ridge gym when the supposed assault took place.

My advice yesterday to Concerned Mother to bring any evidence she may have to the police can either help or hurt Sean but if she actually has factual information, I'm betting Sean will benefit from whatever she has to say.

Lastly, regardless of how Sean's case works out, it uncovered a significant shortcoming in Fairfax County policies and procedures. Fairfax County Public Schools acted in accord with their policies by suspending Sean when these very serious allegations came up. Fairfax County Police likely folowed their policies and procedures when they arrested him based on the statement of a 12-year-old girl that they apparently considered credible at the time. When this case plays out and if the charges are dismissed or Sean is found not guilty at a trial, how does Fairfax County make fair restitution to Sean for the stress and incalculable damage his name and reputation have undergone as a result of their processes?

Honestly, what would you think "William is a Moron" if the same thing happened to you?

Just asking.

I,too, was accused of, but not charged with, a loathsome crime while working for FCPS.

Before meeting that reptilian gnome detective, I got a lawyer.

There was no evidence that I had committed this crime for a very good reason: I did not do it.

It is my understanding that the alleged victim could not even speak in complete sentences.

I believe that another person with access to the alleged victim could have been doing on regular basis what I was accused of having done.

I base this assertion on the behavior and language of the alleged victim which was reported promptly.

In my case, I believe there was exculpatory evidence and it was lost or destroyed.

I uncovered evidence that police or FCPS officials induced a potential witness to lie.

I found evidence that this witness (a driver) had been cited and convicted for a serious traffic violation for which the fine was $500. I have a certified copy of the court documents. The driver remains employed by FCPS in the Madison pyramid.

FCPS officials know about the conviction because I provided them with a copy of the documents.

The driver apparently also had custody of a female student at James Madison High School. The student had a different surname. I have long wondered if a deal was cut in which leniency for the student was arranged in a court case in return for the statement.

The driver told my attorney "I told that detective I didn't see anything."

Yet a false statement was later submitted to FCPS.

I found evidence that another individual with direct daily access to the alleged victim (a minor) had been convicted of liquor violations in local courts. Yet the individual remained employed by FCPS despite this and conviction of another case. This employee is a former FCPS special education student who has repeatedly displayed anti-social behavior. The mother of this employee is also a bus driver. Did FCPS vet this person in the hiring process?

I have copies of court documents in both cases.

I have raised this question in the past and I raise it again today:

Who needs proof when an accusation will suffice?

FCPS can put anyone on administrative leave without the police posting a picture with an accusation. No one has to give a reason why, they could give "internal reasons" or even "a personnel issue" without the accusation that is more or less a death penalty because the accusation can end one's life and career.

If found guilty his name and mug shot are then published along with the conviction and FCPS fires him. If he isn't found guilty, he is put back to work.

Justin Wolfe's case is not over. He is on death row but I have read wacko stuff about the case, to include major witnesses admitting perjury. I'm not saying from what I have read that he was a saint, but I'd let the appeals occur before final conclusions.

Not so fast . . .

Craig Gordon was FIRED by FCPS without ever having been charged.

See link and article below.

Note who represented him:

Steve Stone, the same attorney for the Loudoun assistant principal who nearly got railroaded on porn charges.

Steve did a good job in both cases, but it wasn't enough to save Craig Gordon.

How Do Teachers Prevent False Accusations?
FEA
Fairfax Education Association
Special Report
Protect yourself
from sexual abuse charges

For years, teachers have been concerned about inappropriate verbal or physical abuse from students. Recently, however, teachers seem to be facing a new fear: student accusations of sexual misconduct

Alan Barbee, investigative specialist for the Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, notes that since 1986 there have been 111 allegations of sexual misconduct formally investigated by the county. Fifty-six of the cases were determined founded, 31 were unfounded, and 21 were inconclusive. Barbee said 22 school system employees have been arrested in the same eight-year period (Fairfax Journal, May 10, 1994).

Craig Gordon, 46, a teacher for 21 years and once nominated for Fairfax County Teacher of the Year, is one of the accused teachers. From March of 1993 until July of 1994, Gordon was placed in the untenuous position of having to defend himself against charges that he improperly touched female students while teaching elementary physical education.

Gordon was suspended and recommended for firing in April, 1993, by Fairfax County Public Schools Superintendent Robert Spillane after eight girls formally accused him of fondling them during class. His case has been highly publicized and was the focus of a fall, 1994, documentary by the CBS news show 48 Hours.

Under the Virginia Code, the School Board has the exclusive power to decide questions concerning the termination of teachers. A teacher who is recommended for termination has the right to an administrative hearing before the School Board. Gordon asked for the series of hearings to clear his name and to hopefully reverse the dismissal recommendation.

After ten nights of trial-like public hearings, fifty eight hours of testimony, and five hours of deliberations, the Fairfax County School Board voted 6-2 to uphold the Superintendent's recommendation to fire Gordon.

Summing up the case against Gordon, school system Attorney Anne Murphy said: "What you have here is a man who does bad things to young girls, and he's been doing it for a long time."

In his closing argument, Steven Stone, Attorney for Mr. Gordon, said, "this client was the victim of hysteria, political correctness... a changing society that once encouraged teachers to hug students to give encouragement."

Professional Implications
Following the Gordon hearings, the Editorial Page of the Fairfax Journal (July 22, 1994) noted that, "What's appropriate and what isn't haven't changed over the years, and we shudder if the day has arrived when handshakes are the warmest contact between teachers and students." Gary Reese, School Board member, had a different view. He said, "Let's define what is appropriate or inappropriate touching. We've got to give teachers' more help" (Fairfax Journal, June 27, 1994).

Glen Bayless, President of the Fairfax County Elementary Physical Education Teachers Association, also wants a list of standards that address appropriate and inappropriate teacher behavior. Bayless notes that, "This case points out that the informal rules have changed over time and physical education teachers are among those most vulnerable. Gymnastics, which is a major portion of the elementary physical education curriculum, requires a teacher to use manual manipulation and physical guidance to assure safety and success. But how do you protect yourself when you may be the only teacher in a gymnasium with a group of children?"

Rick Willis, Executive Director of the Fairfax Education Association (FEA), says that, 'The advice I give teachers is to keep their hands off kids-period. It's the only way teachers can protect themselves. Some teachers, therefore, may elect not to teach activities that require physical contact."

The FEA has issued a special bulletin recently entitled: Protect Yourself From Sexual Abuse Charges. The bulletin states that if teachers follow some simple rules, they can dramatically improve chances of not being accused of assaults against students. One such rule directs teachers to avoid being alone with a student in an enclosed space where a teacher cannot be observed by another adult.

Many schools now use metal detectors to ensure the safety of children and staff. Should school systems call upon additional technology to help sustain teachers' careers? Have we arrived at a point where physical education teachers must demand surveillance cameras in their gymnasiums to prevent false accusations? Would this be perceived as another case of big brother watching---an invasion of privacy? On the other hand, if surveillance can save the careers of teachers, shouldn't such cameras be used?

Ah, I misread your post and apologize but still disagree on one point... if you are selling drugs you are a bad person unless you are a pharmacist. But there are obviously degrees of "bad" and being a drug dealer doesn't mean you are willing to kill people.

Centre Ridge PE teacher allegedly assaults 12 year old girl

Willie Thanks for your very reasonable response and good question.

No, I wouldn't keep a male or female teacher, administrator or support worker in proximity to children if there is reasonable evidence to conclude that he/she may be guilty of a serious crime. I would suspend that person, with pay, until there was a trial and he/she was found guilty or innocent. If they were found guilty I'd say throw the book at them. However, my main issue is procedural.

The Fairfax County authorities, the school system and police, have denied a teacher with 13 honest and responsible years of service, any pay while the investigation and charging is playing out, impacting his and his family's welfare, and he has had to pay out of his pocket for a lawyer and bail while this process moves forward. If he was considered innocent until proven guilty, he would have continued to be paid to stay at home while he gets a "speedy" trial and his privacy would be as protected as that of the supposed victim until the trial (where his name would necessarily have to be exposed).

Instead, his name, photo and home address was splashed across the Internet thanks to the Fairfax County Police as if he was already found guilty after a trial. Sean is going to have a long uphill slog to get his name, reputation and self-confidence back when either the charges are dismissed or he is found not guilty in a trial (and mark my words, it will be one of these outcomes). This doesn't pass the "what if this happened to me" test for fairness for any citizen.

Fairfax County Public Schools policy states they have to hold Sean's pay in an interest-bearing escrow account until the case is adjudicated. When he's found not guilty, they'll repay him with whatever pitiful interest you get these days in any account. FCPS is also on the hook for Sean's "reasonable" legal expenses to defend himself. But these payments are after the fact - the damage is being done every day he's held up to public scorn and ridicule in spite of being an innocent man in the eyes of the law. His name and reputation are being dragged through the mud when we don't yet know whether he did it or not.

That's all I'm saying.

That is what they do with every case. Read the weekly incident reports. The names and addresses of those people are people who haven't been found guilty yet. However they are still "splashing" their names on the internet and local newspapers. This guy has not been singled out for being a scumbag.

Well, I have seen NO logical reasoning, or excuse for the current procedures by anyone who has posted here so far.

The problem is the Meida has a field day with stories like this one and they make more MONEY. The problem is that you are being presupposed guilt on through actions of the media that is now commonplace. It's fucked up and needs to stop. I hate to say it but I agree with the posters who say the little girl who made the allegations should have her name and address put in the news paper as crazy as it sounds, just for fairness reasons. If you don't post one you should not be able to post the other. Because if the charges are dropped gor whatever reason, the girl gets to go on about her life as though SHE did NOTHING WRONG. And thats just WRONG. Because of this story other little girls and boys may make false allegations in the future out of spite for a teacher and not have any incentive not to because they know thier ID will be protected and that there will be no severe penalties for making the allegations to begin with, at least social ones.

Reporting is one thing. Purposeful and malicious defamation of character and slander is another. Color photos and addresses are NOT necessary to report the news just like if someone dies and doesn't happen to have thier wallet on them a valid license or even if they are staying in a homeless shelter due to loss of job, SHOULD NOT give the media the right to use the term "of no fixed address" which those cocksuckers love to say. The reason is because we naturally assume this person was a full time bum that sleeps on the streets who died because te way te media choses to go about just desribing people. I'm sorry, if a person dies in an auto accident, I don't need thier life story and current address registered with the DMV. The same goes for an accused person, they are to be assumed innocent until proven guilty, this goes for the media also. So STFU MEDIA.

What doesn't sound right to me is that this little girl is braggin to everyone that she got Lanigan fired. Wouldn't a victim just want everyone to forget about it? and make it go away? She offered to autograph the letter that was sent home to parents! Again, what is that about? Daily here are reports that this child seems more than proud to have gotten Lanigan into trouble. I am not saying that he is not guilty, but who then goes and brags like she is doing? Something does not sound right to me about this girl. I can also confirm about the attention seeking attempts she makes at school. "Drama queen".

Soccer coaches and parents are the worst especially in Chantilly. Those fuckers run onto the field and punch the refs and shit. Atleast my coach did on a few occasions. We had one of our games forfeited like five minutes in because our coach ran onto the field yelling, pushing, and threatening the ref. My Dad eventually came on the field and tried to calm my coach down which eventually succeeded when the other coach called the police.

My coach was eventually banned from ever coaching in Chantilly for the rest of that season. Don't know if it was an indefinite ban but he was one truely fucked up coach. Kind of like a Bobby Knight had a baby with Mike Tyson whose offspring had a kid with Tiger Woods who did the moon walk with Michael Jackson whose kid was touched by a PE teacher at Centre Ridge Elementary.

it was during the Spring '01 season. I can't remember the coaches name but i think we were the only U16 team from Chantilly that season in the SFL. There may have been 2 teams but no more than 2.

blah blah blah next time you have an opinion, keep it to yourself. Also if you read a thread before posting your nonsense, realize that the shit that you said has been written numerous times by countless people.

It is probably good news that the thread has gone to sleep since it produced more heat than light. There were claims that the accuser had recanted and there were claims that a plea bargain was in the works. So far, neither has come to fruition. We just need to be patient and let the judicial system get it right.

That sounds plausible because there was very little reason to believe the kid was telling the truth.

What is his job status?

I don't know much about it. I'd imagine he's on administrative paid leave if charges were dropped for the remainder of the school year.

I'd also assume he'd be reassigned to a new school to start next year and I'm sure he'll get another high school coaching job in the area, from all accounts he seems like a real good soccer coach.

Way back in 1997 I reported to a Mr. Bruce of Faifax County that this so-called good guy showed topless pictures of his wife to the soccer players (she was a topless dancer)- while at his house to watch game tapes turned on the playboy channel for the players – bought beer for players and more. We had an athletic director that didn’t want trouble so nothing ever came of it ,and he was made the swim coach. Then he was accused by other coaches at a Va. Beach swim meet of being drunk and buying beer for the swimmers, again nothing happened to this so-called good guy. It’s a shame that a young girl had to pay the price, because this creepy guy kept getting away with very bad behavior.

There's no way he's in jail with such little evidence. Why would his bond be revoked?

His teams have won a lot of games. In that sense he is a good soccer coach. But other coaches manage to win without going on tirades, being carded, being called in front of the WAGS R&D committee, etc.

OK Mother Teresa. The 1997 behavior that you have alleged and the current situtiaon have NOTHING in common. I guess the other parents on the team were some pretty lousy parents if you were the only one to say anything. Times of changed Mother Teresa. How old were the kids he was coaching? What youth club? How, unless you have an ax to grind, could you equate that behavior with THE MOST dispicable crime that can be committed anyway?

First of all when you say;

“It’s a shame that a young girl had to pay the price…”

You are assuming that these allegations are true, and I can tell you that they are not. You will see. The case has been flubbed from the beginning by the police. In addition, he has PASSED 2 lie detector tests conducted by the FBI and Fairfax County police. The little girl has not paid any price caused by the actions of Mr. Lanigan. Although I feel sorry for the little girl and the consequences of her lying, it is Mr Lanigan who has paid the price for an ovezealous police detective that listened to only to what she wanted to hear and who she wanted to hear it from.

Karma is a you know what, and you would probably be better off biting your tongue until this man is actually convicted of commmitting a crime. In addition, you should hope and pray that you or your husband do not find yourselves int he same predicament. ANYONE, who works with or coaches kids could find themselves in this same situation and their live ruined and reputation ruined.

Mr. Lanigan is the father of duaghters one year younger and one year older than the ALLEGED victim. He is coach, although not right now because of this mess, of a U13 girls soccer team and NOT ONE family pulled their duaghter of his team. We all know him, support him, and stand behind him.

So many of these comments are beyond the pale considering the story as reported. It's total crap that the teacher would pick her up and take her away, with a class full of witnesses. If I taught, I swear, I'd have a nanny cam going in the classroom/gym. I feel sorry for this guy, if it's pursued, I can only hope I'm called for jury duty.

This guy was removed from Stone over ten years ago, why? Heard that he had punched a cop when he found that she was having and affair with him. His trial is the 24th of May. He is not on paid leave, it is unpaid leave until they find out what is hapening. Not a surprise to many in the soccer community, he was always inappropriate with the female players. He was also very inappropriate with the teachers at his school.

I had a similar experience.


Detective Ordonez said flatly that he did not believe me.


I believe someone was messing with the kid who placed his head in my lap,pressed his upper body against mine and reached between my legs.


The kid had obviously done this before. Yet with whom?


I just was not the guy.


I reported the incident as required.


I am still asking: What happened to the (exculpatory) tape?


I was told : Darlene handled all that.


Well, E. Darlene J, what happened to the tape?

I have played for sean lanigan. let me tell you that i cannot understand how he is a teacher in the first place... He would actually joke about molesting little girls during practice, pick up prostitutes during tournaments, and show the team pictures of naked girls he would take on his drunken escapades. He should and probably will be convicted and I hope to god he rots in jail.

I guess you went to Stone... could you rephrase or clarify this? He punched a woman cop because he found out he banged her? Why wouldn't he just punch her while banging her?

No, he punched her because he found out that she was having an affair with him. He did not realize that they were both married. When he realized that, he knew that the cop was having an affair with him.

Einstein and gt3 were apparently some of his students. (if they are different people)

my translation of e=mc squared's is as follows:

It seems the dipshit (subject of this entire thread) was with some chick (a cop) who he thought was into him. Apparently, he found out the chick was married to another dude/person and was cheating on that person with the dipshit... once the dipshit found out about that, he was pissed off, had to drop his beer and his playboy, and had to put the smack down on this cheating whore...

is that closer to the 2 f'd up comments by Einstein?

Having daughters that have played soccer for years, I've talked to numerous people who knew the guy, including former players and they all don't believe the allegations. Supposedly this guy has been nothing but a class act. I'll tell you right now these stories of him and prostitutes are absolute garbage or there is no way he'd be teaching/coaching this long with the pretencious mothers of Fairfax County.

I have also talked to parents who have a hard time believing the allegations. But, some disagree with the "class act" characterization. Multiple parents have said that he is a hot head around the soccer field. He can get away with it because many of the "pretencious mothers of Fairfax County" only care about whether little Mia or little Landon play D1 travel soccer and play in college.

Thanks for the translation effort... I had to laugh because the clarification didn't clarify anything. The cop found out he was married? Wouldn't he have known that on his wedding day? Please 'einstein' go to some adult education classes on writing so you can help yourself (or get some tutoring if you are still in school)... that is just awful.

The biggest problem is that NO ONE is disputing the fact that he picks up 12 year old girls and carries them around on his shoulders. That in itself is a major problem, I don't care how "fun" that makes this guy, he has a problem.

Yes I read the article in the Post today. He may get out of this one because it is "He said, She said". He has been totally inappropriate with both staff and students. I fell that FCPS will not renew his contract and will let him go after this. After reading all the posts on this site, who would want him teaching their children?

Not sure whether the guy is guilty of a crime or not but he's guilty of stupidity. Teachers are so vulnerable, and if he is innocent this case just shows that a kid (boy or girl) can make up anything and the school system has to treat it like it's real. Because,even if it's 1 chance in a 100,000, if it is real the system would be crucified if they didn't follow up. If he's found not guilty, I don't think the system can refuse to renew his contract. They of course can transfer him to some other place in the county, even into a nonteaching position.

Used to be a teacher in FCPS, and was on the wrong end of a bogus claim, and eventaully exhonerated, but in the long run I blamed myself for not being more careful. You can bet that after that, I never even talked to a student alone or allowed a student to hug me or even came close. It sounds to me like this guy definately was over the line. I don't know anything about his coaching or the other stuff about naked pictures, and all that, but from just a teaching standpoint, he was putting himself in jeopardy. I'd be surprised if he hadn't been counseled by admin about it though. If not, then he either wasn't too bad or they, the admn, wasn'it doing its job.

On the other hand, it does seem (and this just based on observations) soccer coaches are much more prone to wackos. I saw a high school soccer coach that in school was a very low-keyed type of guy but once the game started he simply lost it, yelled and screamed at the officials, then his players, then the other team's palyers, even yelled things at the other coach. I think, as someone earlier alluded, that these guys/gals get away with it because there's a large segment of parents who are certain their little Mia or Justin are going to be Div 1 stars. You see some of the same mentality in lacrosee, boys mostly, not so much in girls

I read the WP article too and was surpised that her friend testified that she had said she wanted him to get into trouble for talking to her about bullying other kids while being a safety officer. That's enough for reasonable doubt.

He's gonna be dragged through the coals, but he will get off on this charge.

He should never had put himself in this position by picking up any student, if he hadn't done that, he would have been in the clear, but there was enough to prosecute it and follow up on the charge, but not enough to convict. 30 years, man, thats a long time for picking a girl up and having it misinterpreted.

This has been the strangest case from start to finish and I hope, when Sean is cleared, he goes after everyone involved in civil suits. There is no way it should have made it this far. The Grand Jury system is an absolute joke, and Fairfax COunty Public Schools needs to do more to back its people. I believe that the COunty will need to make restitution for this to Sean, but that wouldn't be enough for me.

Yet another example of a career being destroyed by accusation alone. Yet another reason why accused should be held to the same anonymity standards as accusers until a conviction is reached. If he did bad things in the past, let accusers make those accusations so he can go to trial for those but from the Post article it is clear that even if there is truth to some of the story it is a far cry from the "laying on top of her" original accusation (which the girl later said didn't happen by the way).

Teenagers make stuff up like adults and toddlers do, it is human nature. But someone's bullshit human nature shouldn't ruin another's life and career if the allegations are false and intentionally harmful. In this case she wanted him fired because he didn't play the music she liked in class. And for that he is in a courtroom, pictured all over the news, with sexual assault allegations. Had his identity as an accused been protected then his life wouldn't be ruined over some kid's intentionally harmful story. If he was guilty, then his picture could go up all over the place and others can come forward if they too were victims so charges can be leveled for those.

edit: and ironically the victims of these stories are the youth in that one would be nuts, crazy, insane to be a phys ed teacher or anyone that works with youth in this environment where 1) kids think the solution to problems is to get rid of annoying adults with sexual accusations, and 2) a system lets an accusation with that many holes in it get into the press and to trial. I agree with the comments left in the Post article. When the good people don't think it is worth it to risk their lives and careers to help young people, only the bad ones are left.

I am exceedingly skeptical of this young girl's claims, but it is not over until it is over.

Has the case gone to the jury yet? Has there been an acquittal? Interesting that the jury has a majority of women. Not surprising - they would be good judges of veracity on these kinds of matters and it appears if the defense did its job in voir dire.

There is something going on behind the scenes here that causes this not to make sense. I wouldn't think a prosecutor would ever put a 12 year old on the stand without knowing exactly what she would say. Ditto for her 10-13 year old friends who testified. There must be something driving the prosecution of this case beyond the mere facts alone.

There is a difference between bad judgment and immaturity (which the school system needs to handle) and criminality. I am at a loss as to the prosecutor's mindset here - the girl's testimony and that of her buddies doesn't strike me as a case I would want to have brought. Weak or non-existent cases make it worse for real victims.

I too, am concerned about reputational damage - there are some smart folks on here (and well, some of the others too) - withholding judgment is a key thing here to remember.

You are right and he may get convicted, but all of that can be done with anonymity of accused until it is over. If he is found guilty he'll get and deserve every punishment.

In fact, I am sure he made posters of her and sent them out to everybody. Listen nimrod, this guy is about to come out of one of the worst experiences that somebody could ever go through. I can't say what the jury will do naturally, but if the Post article is accurate I don't see how any jury could say, beyond a reasonable doubt, that he is guilty. If he IS found innocent he will probably do what I would do which is go out and get in everybody's face and proclaim my innocence. I would also utilize my legal right to go after anyone who slandered me to show that it will not be tolerated and, just for your knowledge, you are not legally allowed to make criminal allegations against private citizens.

"wait a minute" - I agree, there is something peculiar about this. Makes you wonder if the prosecution was forced to bring the charges for political reasons but knows they can't win.

All the other allegations might or might not be true, such as the nude pics of his wife, drinking with his players, etc, all of which should get him fired and brought up on charges, if true. However, that's not what he's on trial for.

There really must be some behind the scenes manuvering going on.

Slub - you have dialed in exactly to what I was thinking. Thanks for the clarity.

It also makes one wonder as to the race of the accuser. It would not be a stretch for a prosecutor to, a la Tom Wolfe in the Bonfire of the Vanities, try and bag that Holy Grail, the Great White Defendant. Now, I don't know of the race of the accuser, and I could be wrong in even making this implication. But there is something here that doesn't add up, and the race element could be one way of gaining some further understanding.

Acquitted, if the e-mail is accurate, I remain incredibly perplexed. The Washington Post article alone reflects that the case is a disaster for the prosecution.

How this turned out to be a criminal case is simply a mystery. Prosecutors rarely bring cases they can't win to trial - unlike baseball, it is a profession where .995 batting averages exist.

I am very happy to hear he was found "Not Guilty." The WP article was very interesting as well. I hope Mr. Lanigan can move on and repair the damage this little girl has done. Maybe a small lawsuit against FCPS and FCPD will help his family pay their legal bills.

My question is: Where were the girl's parents in this whole situation??? Why were they completely unaware that she was lying the whole time? I realize that allegations of sexual abuse could cloud jusgement, but it has been 4 and a half months since the girl said anything about this. I know for a FACT that my mother would have been able to tell I was lying.

I also wonder what kind of psychological issues a 12 y.o has to have to make up these allegations, then not recant after the pressure of a trial is layed out. Instead of feeling guilt, she bragged about the situation??? Sounds like a sociopath to me! Hopefully her parents will try to start being responsible and get her some therapy so she doesn't devastate anyone else's life again.

Easy to do when you can lob allegations and have your own ID protected. Making the accusation while you know you are shielded from ID leaks because of your age and the nature of the allegation creates opportunities for abuse. I think we just got to the end of one here. I hope those that brought the case are held accountable.

Great question: Where ARE her parents? They should definitely have to pay for the teacher's legal bills. It cannot begin to repair the damage their child created, but it would help. Their names/picture in the paper would be a good idea as well. It would serve as a deterrent to other clueless parents who raise lying bullies.

Used to be a teacher and coach in FCPS. Had a guy who played on 1 of my teams that told me a story about an investigation surrounding a male teacher at a middle school. The teacher was evidently guilty of stuff with male students. But...the kid I'm talking about said the police interviewed him and he, the kid, told the police the male teacher had never made any advances. He then said the police tried to put words in his mouth, with things like "well, maybe you don't want to remember but did Mr. XXXX ever touch your genitals?" and went on and on like that. Now the kid I knew, was very sharp and sure of himself and eventaully just said, "what,do you think I'm stupid, that I wouldn't remeber something like that?" It has been some time since he, the kid, told me all this so my quotes might not be exact but that's pretty much what he said.

So, I'm wondering if maybe this girl's accusations were kind of expanded and magnified by the investigators. There's just something not right about all this.

There could definitely be something to that, but there was testimony at the trial stating that the little girl was bragging about getting him into trouble. I think she knew exactly what she was doing and saying in this case. I don't think the investigators needed to expand or magnify her remarks.

@change the title: I completely agree with you that her parents should be held accountable for their child's actions. But the FCPD needs to share that blame by not following up with anyone else in the school about this child's behavior. A few simple interviews from other administrators or teachers may have cast enough doubt on her credibility that they would have been able to question the child enough that she would have recanted on her own.

I hope Sean makes an example of the detectives who did his "investigation" and his employers who, by denyong his salary on the strength of laughable evidence, seemed intent to railroad this poor man for some reason.

NEWS FLASH!!! HE WAS FOUND INNOCENT!
This ridiculous incident highlights what is wrong with our society and the media today. Children are believed 100% and the teacher is completely discredited from the beginning. During a more rational time, albeit brief, parents would believe HALF of what the student said and HALF of what the teacher claimed until they discovered what happened. What ever happened to rationality and withholding judgment in our democracy? Where is the support from the school system and the other parents? We all suffer when this happens because the effective, functional parents and their children are at the whim of the mentally unstable, irrational, dysfunctional families. When will we demand that these individuals stop their narcissistic, selfish, childish behavior? Let's stand up for ourselves already!

After reading all the posts here starting from the beginning, only a few of you are rational and reasonable. The rest of you should and may be sued for libel.
You are idiots. No different than the stupid people that burned people for being witches. Remember, INNOCENT until PROVEN GUILTY!. Most of you highlight the saying, "Better to be thought the fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt".

First, intrigued, there are lots of people that do improper things, including bringing false or bogus claims. But we hold prosecutors to a higher standard. A 10 minute jury deliberation? 10 freaking minutes? (Since it takes that long to fill out the paperwork, the actual deliberation likely took 60 seconds, accompanied by laughter). Jurors saying there was no credible evidence? No evidence of a proper investigation at the school (this is unbelievable)?. All of these are comments from jurors that have just been reported. I can't imagine what the prosecutor was thinking - certainly with any case one knows its strengths and weaknesses, but a case with zero strengths, and virtually no evidence? Everytime I get frustrated by the criminal defense bar I am reminded by cases like this that they often are are only protection against abuses by the state.

Second, I hope someone who practices Virginia law picks up on this here and can comment. My guess is that this teacher will have an incredibly difficult time suing the school district, and even if it can be sued, the limits on recovery will likely be substantial - likely not worth the money. But again, just a guess. And the girl and her family? Judgment proof is another good guess. Life is sometimes indeed grossly unfair.

Just another case that shows you the irresponsibility of the Fairfax County Police and Prosecutor's Office. It makes me sick what they are doing to people, this is not an isolated problem. They are literally out of control.

westfield - the prosecutor's office is ultimately responsible. They are supposed to act in the state's interest. And that means not prosecuting cases where there is woefully insufficient evidence. I wish someone could identify the real agenda that lurked behind this prosecution.

In my opinion, the law should be that the penalty for falsely and maliciously accusing someone of a crime, is the same as the maximum penalty for the crime they accused the other person of.

So for example, if a person falsely accuses someone of rape, and the maximum penalty for rape is 30 years, then the false accuser should (upon conviction of the false accusation) get 30 years in prison.

Obviously, for a minor this would have to be modified, but adults should face the same fate that they threatened another with. A 2 year, suspended sentence for perjury just doesn't cut it.

Unfortunately, we will never know what their adgenda was, to railroad this teacher. Even if you sued and were made whole financially, there is nowhere to go, to get your reputation back, not to mention the stress on your life and family.

FCPS, FCPD, and the Commonwealth Attorney's office have learned nothing.

Sean Lanigan has learned that kids will lie without having to face the consequences.

He'll need much time to heal from this.

He might be able to collect disability benefits for a while due to stress but his FCPS career is likely over.

If I were Sean Lanigan, I would wait for the letter from personnel - the one about his back pay.

He should also request compensation for his legal fees. When I was going through my difficulty, I cam across school board regulations on that subject.

I never collected anything. I was offered a resignation in lieu of termination. I never signed anything. I preferred not to deal with those oily gnomes on Gatehouse Road and just walked away.

That was a long time ago. Dr Spillane created the idea of "recommendation for expulsion" which is always upheld.

Daniel Domenech, on the other hand. Now there was a good superintendent.

Bud Spillane was an egotistical jerk. One of the worst supertindents FCPS has ever had, along with Linton Deck, and Domenech. Jack Burkholder was great, as was Jack Davis.

I am so happy for Sean and his family. When he stepped out of the court house today, I have never been so relieved. I have known the accuser since she was six years old and I know the type of person she is. She has ALWAYS been hateful and manipulative. I am satisfied knowing she will have to live with a guilty conscience the rest of her life. I just hope and pray Sean and Karin are able to regain some of the normalcy they have lost these past 4 months.

I wish people could see what type of person the accuser is and how little guidance she has at home. CPS will now have to conduct their own investigation on Mr.Lanigan and it makes me so mad because they TRULY should be investigating this little girl and her family.

I subbed at Oakton High School one day.

A student came in late.

She gave me some grief.

Had she not done so, I would have let things slide.

She claimed that I had an adverse reaction to her last name.

I didn't even know her last name until she told me.

She continued to give me grief so I wrote her up.

That was the highlight of my sub career - writing up Maura Spillane, the superintendant's daughter.

I heard she is now an elementary school teacher.

Back to Lanigan, you can bet that the Kurt Barbees (if he's still there) didn't really try to find out if this event that Lanigan was charged with actually happened the way it was reported or if there was any real substance to allegation, there goal is to find what they can to support the charge some way, any way they can so they can go forward with charges of some kind.

Two ways to get the identity of the accuser:

Go to the courthouse and pull the case jacket.

There will be affidavits with the names of all relevant parties such as detectives, accusers accused, etc.

The accuser testified.

Her name is on the list of witnesses which is in the case jacket.

I would like to know the name of the accuser and the detective involved.

Another option would be to go to the area near Centre Ridge when school lets out for the day. Ask an older child who accused the teacher falsely. The older child will certainly know.

Actually, it is not very interesting at all. It is just another plea for a pity party. This guy is no differnt from the feminists. Man up and quit feeling sorry for yourself.

But he is right that any teacher--male or female--is well advised to keep his or her hands off students.

Al Barbee retired.

I think Spillane hired him.

He was a cop before that.

He sure knew how to smear people, that is for sure.

Ask Craig Gordon if you don't believe me.

When I was enrolled at Frost Intermediate, an assistant principal pulled me out of my history class. There had been a break in at Canterbury Woods School. A kid with his arm in a cast had been seen riding a bike away from the scene.

I fit that description as I had broken my arm and I rode a blue bike on occasion.

The cops grilled me. I denied all involvement, but as the interview progressed I realized who had done it. I did mot snitch.

I also had an alibi. I had attended "Bat Day" at RFK with my father. The Thompson Honor Dairy in conjunction with the Washington Senators were giving away bats. The bat was my proof that I had been in DC when the burglary occured.

The cops did not believe me. One said, "Well, if you are not going to confess, perhaps we should lock you up now."

They later went over to my house (my mother was hysterical) and ransacked it looking for the stolen property (whatever it was). They found nothing because I had done nothing.

I believe the cop who suggested that I be locked up was Al Barbee in his younger years. He was not interested in the truth. He simply wanted to close the case.

By the way, I still have the bat somewhere. I tell my friends that it kept me out of Beaumont.

In the Fox News Report it said FCPS says Lanigan can't have his old job back until it completes its own investigation! HUH? You mean to tell me FCPS didn't investigate?

I know nothing about Lanigan but I find it hard to beleive that FCPS hasn't already made up its mind. So, now that leads me to think there is someting going on in the very little, conniving minds at highlest levels of FCPS. They are now trying to figure out how to cover thier asses, to avoid civil suits, I'd guess.

FCPS knows where this is going. The oily gnomes in the Gatehouse Majal play rough.

Lanigan isn't coming back. He'll be lucky to keep his teaching certificate.

FCPS will accuse him of unprofessional behavior because he picked the kids up.

That will be the basis of his termination.

The School Board will vote to fire him or not to renew his contract.

It is just a matter of time.

Is there anything, as citizens and taxpayers of FFXCo, that we can do to persuade CPS and FCPS to conduct their investigation on this little girl and her family? A protest, petition, or a very loud public outcry maybe?

@ in the flesh: Is this little girl still attending Centre Ridge? If so, I wonder how she is being treated by her classmates and the other teachers she has contact with. I would love to know the name of her parents more than her, only because they are the adults in the situation and need to be told what they did wrong as well.



Someone had mentioned that she has to live with this guilt on her conscience, but I wonder if she even has one. She is probably more upset about that fact that people don't like her now than she is about hurting this man and his family. Then again, I do not know her. She may very well be feeling remorse.

His reputation sullied, teacher commits suicide
False accusation leads to tragedy in Virginia city
By Timothy Dwyer, Washington Post | February 15, 2004

ROANOKE, Va. -- The two-lane bridge that Ron Mayfield Jr. came to on the morning
of his death stands almost 200 feet above the flowing waters where his father
took him fishing as a boy and where, years later, he spent hours with his own
son, casting for catfish and perch.

He made two final calls on his cellphone, gasping out a farewell to his wife and
dialing 911 without saying a word. Then he lay the phone beside the road and
straddled the knee-high metal bridge railing.

At an hour when the school day was just getting started 6 miles away at Woodrow
Wilson Middle School, Mayfield leaned sideways and let go, falling into the river.

The note he left tucked in the Bible, on the front seat of the car he left
properly parked in the rest area by the bridge, began this way:

"I am so sorry for what I have done, but there is no way I could carry on,
absolutely no way."

The apology was for taking his own life. He had no need to apologize for what
drove him to his death, because Mayfield knew it was untrue.

A student at Woodrow Wilson told authorities that he had been assaulted by
Mayfield, 55, who taught English to nonnative speakers. Mayfield denied it, but
his word, his reputation, and his spotless record were not enough. He had been
suspended, and police were called in to investigate.

What Mayfield did not know as he mounted the bridge that morning was that police
had cleared him of wrongdoing.

Some months ago I predicted that this baseless case would end in the acquittal that it did yesterday. Some media reports say the jurors spent all of 10 minutes deliberating after a full three days of testimony before voting him a unanimous Not Guilty. VYSA is moving quickly to reinstate him as a coach. It would appear Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) isn't acting nearly as quickly when they are the ones who bungled and mismanaged the situation from the beginning and did the most harm to Lanigan's name and reputation. The girl's story changed considerably every time she told it to the point it was not ultimately credible. She told other kids that she was going to get Lanigan fired and that she and her family were going to get rich from winning the trial. Potential witnesses on Lanigan's behalf in Centre Ridge Elementary School were ignored by the school administrators, Child Protective Service and Fairfax County Police. They violated the Virginia Code and FCPS regulations to get as far as they did with this trial.

Bloggers who state blatant falsehoods that Lanigan was known for passing around nude photos are attention-hungry children masquerading as responsible adults. Another generation of fabricators of the kind that put undeserving Lanigan and his family into so much distress since January.

William, I do hope that FCPS gets nailed for this. It seemed so weird the way this went down. I still think there is or someone has another agenda, could be some ambitious FCPS administrator, or whatever.

PwNzM, your writing is atrocious! What are you, in 3rd grade?
You missed several commas and multiple capitalization errors, "knew" is with a K, "too" has two Os, "Knows" is not spelled "noes", every one is actually one word, "everyone" and "there" should be spelled "their".


okay here is the thing he did not do this because first of all i new sean lanigan for three years.... and he does do a lot of jokes by joking i mean picking up and making funny jokes.he is equal to everyone and he is just a simple guy.he treats girls the way that they want to be treated.he interacts people and he helps disabled children to but who noes.He cares for every children and he loves children he was a very popular teacher and our school and every one respected him.i just feel bad for the victims family i bet there community is calling them liars if the teacher pleaded guilty he might serve 5 years in jail.

Lots of folks know about the kind of stuff that Lanigan pulled 10+ years ago. He was a little immature back then and he almost got fired a time or two. I bet those parental complaints on his record had alot to do with the charges filed early this year. This guy was a dumb jock back then who did some stupid stuff but that does not make him a child molester just a jerk.

I was told that lanigan applied for an open PE teacher job with Fauquier county for the upcoming school year. I bet you they wont want to hire him for fear of parent complaints. This poor guy may have to move to another state.

Its good that the facts came out at trial. It sounds like Mr. Lanigan was not at fault but has a less than perfect past. I would not let him teach my child though.

He can teach my kids any day. I hope FCPS brings him back fast. It would be a spineless move to let him go. Everyone email Jack Dale and let him know FCPS did a terrible job handling this situation. While I can understand a man with child sex charges being relieved of duties until after trial, he deserves his job back and the prosecutors of this county deserve to pay big time. Inexcusible miscarriage of justice. If I were him I'd be sueing multiple parties for enough money to live off of.

Also someone post the damn little brat's name or parents on here. We know multiple people on this board know her.

You "can understand a man with child sex charges being relieved of duties until after trial." So, what did FCPS do wrong? The police investigated the case, not FCPS. (He does not have his job back yet precisely because FCPS has not investigated.) The county prosecuted the case, not FCPS.

When charges are dropped, it should be over. A jury took 10 minutes to find him innocent; and I like to think prosecution can find more of a case than the quacks in FCPS.

This man has been through hell the last 4 monthes, maybe during those say 120+ days the investigation should have been done. Maybe they should have been at trial and talked to prosecution/ the victim who everyone has portrayed as a trashy misguided juvenille deliquient.

It is sick how FCPS is piling on to this man's misery. Just another example how the all mighty FCPS continues its fall torward mediocrity.

Steve,

You can go to the Circuit Court of Fairfax County and request to see the case file.

The names of the complainant, that of her parents, that of the detective(s) involved, and those other witnesses should all be there.

The jury found him not guilty of the particular criminal charges. But let's suppose that picking up 6th graders and putting them on your shoulders may run afoul of his FCPS contract. (I expect that it may.) FCPS is then in a bind. There are many like you who feel that he has suffered enough that he should get his job back unconditionally. But what happens the next time he picks up a kid and the parents complain to FCPS? People will be ripping FCPS for having let him back in the classroom.

You don't get it.

It matters not that he was acquitted.

What matters is that he was accused.

At FCPS, proof is unnecessary because an accusation will suffice.

FCPS will next accuse him of unprofessional behavior because he touched the kids, albeit in a non sexual manner. Unprofessional behavior consitutes grounds for dismissal. The school board will vote to dismiss him in a hearing on trumped up charges that will be closed unless he requests otherwise.

He'll be lucky to keep his state certification.

If you are really concerned and want to avoid you or anyone you know of ever being wrongfully accused - do the following



Call Ray MORRO - HEAD PROSECUTOR IN FAIRFAX COUNTY. 703-246-2776. He is an elected official. He is up for election in the future. Call him and talk about it.

His deputy is IAN RODWAY -


Also , call the Chief of Police and voice yoiur concerns.

People rarely vote for Commonwealth's Attorney - Bob Horan ran for years unopposed. Morro was his deputy. He had an opponent but nobody seemed to care enough to vote.

Don't blame FCPS for your miserable life. You would have had a miserable life even without FCPS. This rote repetition of "proof is unnecessary because an
accusation will suffice" demonstrates amply your complete lack of creativity. The rest of the post reflects your paranoia.

I will say again, that it is incomprehensible that FCPS did not conduct an investigation of its own, either prior to or concurrent with the police investigation. For them to say his teaching position is dependant on the FCPS investigaiton is absurd.

There is something else going on here at FCPS! I even sent an email to the school board member from my district to the same affect.

At some point, the parental unit of Stephanie McMahon must have realized that she was not telling the truth and could have put a stop to this.

Why they did not is the question I would like to see answered.

Well all i know is the girl who started this makes me...furious.And yeah i know this is pretty much old news but still, Mr.Lanigan is more like a dad, NOT a child molestor. And I'll say this once, he is JUST like a dad to pretty much everyone who's been @ CR since Kindergarten. I know he's like a dad to me! He always used to pick me up when i was little! He'd ALWAYS do that to girls and boys. "Back Then" we didn't call it innapropriate, we called it being lucky to have him as a PE teacher, I don't think there have EVER, EVER, EVER been any complaints of any way shape or form about Mr. Lanigan. Those of us students and teachers, friends and family, KNOW he'd NEVER, EVER, do anything like this.Also, I cannot beilieve the teachers have been supporting the whole 9 yards with him and then getting in trouble! They're just trying to help. Just for any of you people who still beilieve this happened. Mr.Lanigan, we ALL miss and support you, VERY much.

No it was for his other issues.

Way back in 1997 I reported to a Mr. Bruce of Faifax County that this so-called good guy showed topless pictures of his wife to the soccer players (she was a topless dancer)- while at his house to watch game tapes turned on the playboy channel for the players – bought beer for players and more. We had an athletic director that didn’t want trouble so nothing ever came of it ,and he was made the swim coach. Then he was accused by other coaches at a Va. Beach swim meet of being drunk and buying beer for the swimmers, again nothing happened to this so-called good guy. It’s a shame that a young girl had to pay the price, because this creepy guy kept getting away with very bad behavior.

this behavior forced the issue.

If what you say happened is true, then time has caught up with him. I don't belive this little girl was telling the truth or damanged by Mr. Lanigan. However, if your allegations are true, it must have been very frustrating at that time. Delayed justice is better than none. Probably easy to say, as I am not the one who's child was subject to his behavior. My reaction would have been the same as yours.

I do not beleive the 12 year old girl either. I am just saying that things would have gone easier for Lanigan if he had not had half a file folder of complaints from parents and others due to his past issues.

Soccer mom,

I challenge you to name one soccer player who saw pictures of Sean Lanigan's wife.

Just one.

Also can you be a little more specific about Mr. Bruce?

Was his first or last name "Bruce?"

Was he an investigator with FCPS or FCPD?

What was his department?

How did you first make contact with him?

Who referred you to him?

Who told you about the topless pictures?

Did this person actually see any or was this a friend of a friend who knew someone?

I did not expect Lanigan would be reinstated.

I did expect that the board would move to fire him at the earliest possible moment.

I hope he will do what Steve Gordon did years ago and demand an open hearing.

I can understand why he might not pursue that option.

FCPS is run by oily gnomes in the Gatehouse Majal.

why did i bother? have a rising student and a) want to know and b) been finding stuff out about fcps board - not super happy - more i find out, less happy i am and have more kids coming up through the system. think more parents have too look into board and be watch dogs.

The guy was acquitted in under an hour because there was nothing to the charges.

This allegation is not "inconceivable" like so many of you ignorant people state. I played for sean for 2 years in mclean. 2 years you get to know your coach extremely well. I traveled all over the U.S and internationally with sean. His behavior on these tournaments were beyond incorporate. I have personally seen sean pick up whores, have drunken rants, and brag (and show pictures) of naked women in his hotel rooms. This guy has a sick sense of humor and multiple personalities. He would act one way around parents and MUCH differently when he was not. He has a disgusting sense of humor and would often joke about screwing little girls durning practice. Not so inconceivable now is it. These particular allegations most likely not did occur. The courts did decide, but say this girl is lying and don't portray sean as a saint, he's far far from it.

And the coach gets to know you pretty well too. Which is why you were cut. Your footskills did not get better enough with time, and your work ethic was not good enough.

From this statement alone, I know who you are... though your other statements helped too. You know how mnany players left the team after the Europe trip. I wish you nothing but the best, and hope you continue to play even if not at this competitive level.

Where will she attend school next year?

They will probably find an excuse. It is sad that we live in a world where teachers cannot hug children innocently (never mind pick them up), but we do. Especially male teachers. And therefore, he was really quite stupid not to be more careful. This situation was a false accusation waiting to happen. And it seemed pretty obvious even from the initial reports that it was a false accusation. 12 year olds do not understand the consequences of their actions. Not really. They might understand that this would get rid of a teacher they don't like, but they don't understand what that really means.They simply do not have the capacity (or the brain development).

As for those who think this girl should now be publically persecuted - SHE'S TWELVE! That's ridiculous. I think her parents and the school should come down on her like a load of bricks. And my guess is, if this teacher was as popular as he sounds, she may well have taken herself down in the process. She will likely lose friends and be a social outcast. She will also make it a lot harder for the teachers who have her in the future to be unbaised against her. And all of that, she probably deserves. Her picture plastered all over the internet - where real perverts can find it? No way! I think there is a very good chance that her family will need to change school systems to avoid serious problems. I feel sorry for the kid - she needs help, not persecution. She has also made herself someone who will probably never again be believed - even if she someday is attacked for real.

It is unfortunate that this teacher's reputation will be forever tarnished, but going to trial was the best thing that could have happened to him once he was publically accused. The prosecutor did him a favor (whether it was intentional or not), because it became very obvious from the trial just how bogus this was.

That said, he really did set himself up for this. You CANNOT, in this day and age, treat students like you do your own kids in terms of tossing them around and tickeling them (as admirable as the sentiment is in some ways). An accusation IS all it takes, and everyone who works with kids knows that. It is not a new development. I hope he has learned something from this, as well. I worked in special ed at one point, and was always worried that I'd have to restrain a flailing child when no one else was around, and would be accused of something inappropriate. I would NEVER have picked up a child to play with them - and I always cringed when a child tried to climb into my lap (young children). And that's sad - a Kindergarten teacher or aide should be able to let kids climb into their lap to read a book without fear, but they can't. I do that with my friends' children, but not as a teacher. It would just be stupid. And it only gets worse as they get older because there is less and less reason to touch them.

This guy was innocent of the charges, but really stupid (in a way that invited trouble). I'm glad he was cleared, and I'm glad it happened in a public way, and I hope he gets to keep his job. I also hope he's learned from this.

Bullshit. Oh I just looked at news article about some girl collecting pennies for Obama. They gave her name, should I call the police?

She tried to ruin a man's life with lies, if the worst that happens to her is that her name is out there ah well. She should be in prison.

I agree with you JG, I believe that Lanigan is not a kid toucher but he put himself in harms way with his childish behavior. Lanigan is simply paying for what he's had coming for some time.

If that is true, indeed it is good news. He'll probably be happier teaching in a High School anyway. And, agree that FCPS should pick up his legal fees, after all the whole mess was a result of his employment by FCPS and since he was acquitted they ought to pay for it.

JG - I agree with your points that teachers should be very, very careful in this environment. Lanigan's failure to do so, even if just a slight error in judgment at the time, turned out to be more than just a "slight" error. My guess is that even he would concede at this time that one cannot be too careful.

I don't agree with your legal analysis. Whatever restrictions the court laid down, and whatever and to what extent FERPA and like statutes impose, the fact is that the girl's conduct has made her well known within the school and the community. Anyone other than those with a formal duty to the child will simply be able to point to the common knowledge in the community as a collateral source in the face of any accusation. The girl is in the unfortunate predicament, or so it appears, of not having many feel sorry for her at this point. Or alternatively, they don't care much for her parents, who should have had some ability with foresight here. It can't bode well for socialization, both with other students or with faculty.

soccermom's posts are interesting. It is really hard for me to believe that the conduct soccermom alleges occurred actually did occur, because, well, teenagers are hardly know to keep salacious information to themselves. But even assuming somehow there is some truth to soccermom's posts, they actually reflect poorly on her (assuming it is a mom). I mean, really, if a coach was showing naked pictures to a bunch of young kids, accompanied by stripper stories involving his wife, a responsible parent wouldn't simply take an its OK or no problem here as an answer from a principal or athletic director. Most parents around here would want to know what steps they took to investigate it, and really, really drive to investigate the incident fairly. It is for these reasons I doubt the veracity of the posts, or if alternatively, if somehow true, it just points to careless and lousy parenting. Not very credibility enhancing.

But again I think JG's overall point is a great one - can't ever be too careful in this environment.

She is very likely one of those no bra, no nuke, frizzy haired lesbian man-haters who is using this tragedy to advance her anti-male agenda.

FCPS, FCPD, and Department of Family Services never give up.

There was nothing to this case. The guy fought it in court and prevailed.

FCPS takes the position that evidence is not necessary when an accusation will suffice.

The detective violated procedure but nothing will happen as a result.

DFS is determined to make life miserable for this guy if it can.

By the way, I learned recently that I am still under investigation. FCPS and FCPD are still trying to nail me. It ain't gonna happen, Linda, no matter how hard you try.

The link requires considerable scrolling so here is the article:


Wednesday August 18, 2010
Scarred by charges, teacher allowed to return to classroom
Lanigan will continue teaching at South Lakes
On Aug. 10, more than two months after he was exonerated in Fairfax County Circuit Court on charges he sexually assaulted a 12-year-old female student, Centre Ridge Elementary School teacher and soccer coach Sean Lanigan was finally told by Fairfax County Public Schools that he could return to work.

Instead of returning to Centre Ridge Elementary School, where he taught for the last 13 years, Lanigan will begin the new school year at South Lakes High School in Reston, according to school officials.

"He was transferred there and will begin the new school year as a teacher there," FCPS spokesman Paul Regnier confirmed on Monday.

Lanigan, who spent more than $100,000 on his defense, will continue to bear scars from the ordeal, including a potentially harmful statement made by the Fairfax County Department of Family Services that could remain part of his official employment record for the next two years.

In a June 10 letter to Lanigan obtained by the Times, the department states that claims made by Lanigan's accuser are "unfounded" and that "a preponderance of the evidence indicates that [the 12-year-old- girl] was not sexually abused" by Lanigan.

The letter goes on to say, however, that "while the evidence assembled does not meet the policy definition of abuse in this instance, the contact you had with [the 12-year-old girl] constituted, at a minimum, an alarming violation of boundaries between yourself and a student."

"What boundaries are those?" asked Bill Cummings, a family friend of Lanigan's who has been corresponding with family services officials as Lanigan's spokesman. "I have been trying to find out exactly where these so-called boundaries are defined in either FCPS regulations or in Virginia code, but to no avail," he said. "This is supposed to be a letter clearing Sean. Instead, that statement is a stain on his record and I can't get a straight answer as to what regulations define what these 'boundaries' are."

The Fairfax County Department of Family Services declined to comment. Fairfax County spokeswoman Merni Fitzgerald said the department by policy does not comment publicly on its cases.

Becky Doebler, 37, has her own complaints about both the Department of Family Services and FCPS.

Her daughter, another sixth-grade girl who attended Centre Ridge, was a former friend of Lanigan's accuser and a key witness in his court case.

Becky Doebler claims that shortly after her daughter's friend accused Lanigan of sexual impropriety, Centre Ridge Elementary School Principal James Baldwin invited Fairfax County Police Detective Nicole Christian into the school to interview her daughter without her knowledge.

"That is a direct violation of FCPS regulation 2616.5," she said. "That regulation states that the questioning of students by police officers on school property requires reasonable efforts to secure permission from the student's parents before any questioning occurs."

Doebler said after she learned about the questioning from her daughter, she contacted Baldwin and said she did not give permission for any subsequent interviewing of her daughter while in school.

"But [my daughter] was questioned -- in school -- three more times after that by the same detective," she said.

"Her grades began to fall right about that time," she added. "As a direct result of that stress."

Doebler also claims that soon after her complaints to Baldwin, the Fairfax County Department of Family Services began investigating her.

"They don't have to tell you who filed the complaint," she said. "I still don't know."

Doebler has since taken her daughter out of FCPS and has moved out-of-state.

Regnier said that to his knowledge, Baldwin did not violate any school regulations. "But it is a complicated issue," he said. "I'm not sure how much I am at liberty to discuss."

It would be irresponsible to post names of more of Lanigan's victims on a public forum. It's not those boys (now men) fault that they were some of Lanigans victims. It seems like FCPS handled this thing as well as they could. Maybe Lanigan will man up and just deal with the mess he created.
Thanks to everyone on this thread who gave info and support to everyone involved. This is my last post.

God bless

All parents should be disturbed that the Police Rule the Schools. My son was questioned as a witness, and served a summons to appear as a witness in court while in class. It was done deliberately to intimidate him in front of his peers. Of course it affected his performance. The Officer had ample opportunity to question and serve him before or after class.

Parents that send their kids to Fairfax county public schools get what they deserve. Put your childs future above your selfishness and send them to a good private school. There are some wonderful private schools in this area that cost less than 10,000 a year.

LOL! That was funny, even though I know it's not true.=) Sean his moving on with his life and hopefully isn't seeking retribution from a child.

I really would like to know what this person is up to though. He/she sounds absolutely psychotic. The amount of time this person is spending retuning to this site and posting questions is crazy. Sean knows who his accuser is and always has. This other freak keeps wanting details about her. And then he/she wants to pester "soccermom" for names of former soccer players with whom she says that Seen was inappropriate with? If he/she wants other people to give out names & details then this person should be willing to be upfront about who they are.

So, what is your real name "GMU Hokie"? Reveal yourself you psycho B*stard!

I am not obsessed with his accuser. I do think she should be named. She accused him of a loathsome crime, similar to the one I was accused of although I was never charged.

I just don't think it is right that she can turn his life upside down and walk away with no penalty. What is to prevent her from doing it again?

All actions have consequences, so maybe you need think more broadly when it comes to assuming that she doesn't have "penalties". Just as Sean suffered damage to his reputation and quality of life by being accused, she will suffer (and clearly already has suffered) damage to her reputation and quality of life for having made the accusations.

What is to prevent her from doing it again? Nothing. She has the freedom to make whatever accusations she wishes to during her life, as we all do. But once a person has proven themselves not to be credible, it is doubtful that they will ever be believed in the future. It's one logical consequence for the action of a false accusation.

It sounds like you have some work to do with healing from your own past experience. Unless you are a colleague, family memeber, or friend Sean no longer needs your support. Exposing his accuser won't help anyone. It will only make you look like an ass.

I gotta say, I agree with GMU Hokie. She should receive the same exposure that the accused did.

His picture was put out to the public. So, even though he was exonerated of the charges, people who recognize him will think, "Oh, that's the guy who was accused of molesting a 12-year old girl." I think people would feel more comfortable around him if he'd been accused of murder.

But, nobody knows who his accuser is. If people knew, they could make sure to not put themselves in situations where she can accuse them, as well.

Turns out there was no protest. Only a parade. He was given a hero's welcome, and it was a great day for everyone here in Reston.

@MrMephisto- I still disagree. We have an obligation as a society to protect our children, regardless of their mistakes. I do not believe it is fair for the media to publish negative-tilted articles of the accused (Sean), therefore leading to public bias before a trial, but that is part of the freedsom of the press. But we assume that adults have a better capability of rebounding and recovering from difficult situations. Children often cannot.

@ no bad touch ever- I am glad your protest did not go off as planned. If the courts exonerated him and the county has reinstated him, then the community should back off and accept the rulings of the decision-makers. Your children are not in danger.

Useing your logic re/ Mr. Mephisto, then the parent's names should be publicized to get the same kind of exposure that Lanigan got.

Sure. Why not? If Lanigan has kids, you can bet they're getting teased on the playground about their dad being a kid-toucher.

People take accusations of rape and molestation very, very seriously. This girl is now free to do that to someone else again. People should be able to stay away from her or avoid compromising situations with her.

Sounds to me like this Lanigan needs to find a new line of work. He damn sure wont teach or coach any of my kids. I creeps me out to think this guy is in the same building with my daughter.

I am not a "kid toucher," just as Sean Lanigan is not one, either.

Like Lanigan I know what it is like to be accused falsely of a loathsome crime.

Yes, I believe this to be the case. Actually, the school he's now at - South Lakes, mainly had him pushing the lawn mower around the school grounds during a lot of the school day. I guess they haven't really found a way to get him vetted back into the routing of being a gym teacher, yet.

He's certainly a person who doesn't have the best judgment. Apparently, he was also involved with some coaching activities outside of school in his free time. The team or teams that he was coaching, would, at time travel out of town. It was during these escapades out of town, that he'd find some local 'ho to have relations with. Sure, it's a stretch between having consensual sex with another adult and being accused of inappropriate touching of a minor. However, in some weird sort of way, that just might be the way his M.O. works.

I heard they put extra cameras in the areas where Lanigan works at South Lakes. I bet everyone wishes he would just quit and move to another part of the country.

That's the first time I've heard someone say they have had a good P.E. teacher. Mine were horrible when I was growing up. Lazy bastages. Wearing sweats to work as their "uniform". Such a life.

Albert it is VERY important that you report to your school resourse officer and your parents if you hear this man saying anything like that. It might be a good idea to turn on the voice recorder on your cell phone if you hear him talk like that. Please be careful albert and watch out for your fellow students. Every child deserves to have an education free of haressment.

This is for all of you pieces of shit. This man is NOT GUILTY and the girl made it all up - LEAVE HIM THE FUCK ALONE. I don't know if it can get any clearer than that.

To the student who wrote that "he does think some girls are cute" I say this: report this on the condition that if you are full of shit that you will be expelled and your family sued for all you're worth for fraud and lible.

He's a decent man who was FALSELY ACCUSED. I bet those of you who keep trying to slander him are the same ones who bitch about the Zero Tolerance for your children - how much tolerance have you shown him? To all you hypocrites - go fist yourself.

His Family are the ones that are paying the price sadly.
He was aquitted in court but school board found problems with his behavior.
I dont understand why he dosent take his poor family away from all this and move to Canada or somthing.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that his story appeared above-the-fold on the front page of today's Washington Post.

Sadly, even the prominent placement of the story, which details the utter absence of evidence against him, is not likely to undo all of the damage the 12 year old girl, FCPS, FCPD and the Fairfax County prosecutor's office have caused him.

If anyone works near the Fairfax Courthouse, please look up this case in the circuit court records. The case file should show who was subpoenaed to testify at trial. Even if the "victim" did not testify, she likely would have been subpoenaed by either the prosecution or defense.

Detective Christian's affadavits might also prove interesting reading.

The girl's name is Stephanie Delao. I am about 99% sure of that.

http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_286313306226#!/profile.php?id=1695829566

Her facebook page is very private so I can't access it, but I've figured this out through the magic of internet sleuthing. This involved slogging through a lot of facebook walls belonging to what appear to be incredibly stupid 12 year olds.

I hope I was never as retarded as these kids, because I've learned that they all want to be celebrities, they don't work very hard at school, and all the girls are sluts for "lyfe". At the age of 12 or so. Fuck America, seriously.

Enjoy finding her family through public records, and I hope this girl gets her ass kicked, repeatedly.

At the very least this little bitch should be outed throughout the entire Fairfax County school system, so no other teachers that she doesn't like get accused of something similar.

If I were a FFX teacher I would flat out refuse to have this little cunt in my room unless there was an adult witness present at all times.

Of course, given mad dog cops like Nicole Christian, even that might not be enough

A poster earlier said her name was Stephanie McMahon. Someone can just go check the circuit court records to confirm.

Just in case here's your "Stephanie Delao"'s facebook picture anyway. Mods, please delete this post if it turns out not to be her.

Have you stopped to consider that there could be a 100% pedophile in a school system that will not be stopped in the future, and accusations against him/her will not be taken as seriously as they could be because of what this little drama queen did?

Not picking on her at all...just making sure that if any of us encounter her, we'll keep a safe distance from her, and make sure that there's always at least one adult witness around to ensure that if the little drama queen makes some ludicrous accusation, that we'll be safe, possibly even from goon cops like Det.

I would support picking on her parents relentlessly. Since she's a child and cannot make rational decisions but has parents who as adults have the responsibility to make decisions for her then they deserve to be picked on and made to pay.

You think Lanigan will not be bothered by this the rest of his life? How about if he had been wrongly convicted, should he be branded for the rest of his life.

@slubdawg - you can play coulda shoulda woulda all you want, but the fact is that Lanigan wasnt wrongly convicted of anything.

and if she was lying to her parents, are you telling me us that they should have just told their little girl to fuck off about SEXUAL ABUSE?

I mean, if the parents knew the kid was lying and pushed the issue anyways, then yeah, you'd have a point - but I dont think that's how it went down.............

So are these the "skeletons" in Lanigans closet that thr school board reffered to?
That behavior is bad but its a far cry from what he was accused of.

I have a feeling that Mr. Lanigan is just an individual with very bad judgment. It's too bad he can't get this worked out - he might amount to something.

So Lanigan is an immature Jerk and not a sex offender. He does not deserve what he has been through but he should not be a teacher. If he worked at my kids school I would do everything the law allows to get rid of him.

So parent in Va, if you're so damned concerned about the quality of teachers in Fairfax, why don't you just homeschool your little brat? You would want to get rid of Lanigan because he's what...falsely accused? A "jerk"?

I feel sorry for any teacher that would have to deal with you.

You re-read the posts- boy. Also read the descriptions of the case from credible news agencies you gullible twit. It's really scary that people as stupid as you are in the world. Use your brain asshole=this is an anoymous forum. Do you REALLY think that Lanigan would have gotten away with showing topless pictures of his WIFE to kids? People on here can make up anything, and morons like you will take their stories as factual. What you CAN prove is factual is that Lanigan was completely railroaded and was almost taken away from his family for thirty years. Fools like you are the reason these psychotic little kids can pull these scams: Lanigan is exonerated after a terrible ordeal, a juror is actually overwhelmed and started bawling at the injustice of it all, and here comes dopey-ass you, ready to believe the next rumor some keyboard crusader throws up on an anonymous board. Christ what an idiot: I pity any school that has your children in it and any teachers that have to deal with an imbecile like YOU.

Yeah, sherlock, it could have been me posting twice, or it could have been any of the legions of people who support Sean (see facebook group "I support Sean Lanigan")and hate to see teachers unfairly persecuted after salacious allegations are made by children who rely on morons like you to take everything they say as gospel. You know what boy, I feel sorry for your KID(s). Even if they are marginally intelligent, which I doubt since they have the misfortune of inheriting 23 of your chromosones (look any words you don't know up), they have little chance since they are being raised by a total fool. It is absolutley inconceivable that anyone could be as dumb as you are; the guy gets OFF after a tragic case of injustice that brought untold suffering to him and his family, and dumbasses like you are ready, like Pavlov's dogs, to blindly react to even the most tenuous stimuli. You, boy, have changed my belief on religion though: I used to believe in evolution, but in Darwinistic terms I can see no scenario where a moron like you could have been naturally selected to survive: the only possible solution is that there IS a divine creator , and He put people like you on earth for the rest of us to laugh at and exploit.

A judge did not find him guilty. A jury found him not guilty.
The county school system found some of his other actions inappropriate.

Really? What were you doing on those days in Centre Ridge Elementary School when they were teaching spelling, punctuation and proper use of capitalization?


It's time for you to really start paying attention to your teachers and what they're trying to communicate to you. If you write like that after graduation, you'll be lucky if McDonald's hires you.

Software will not always be there to save you. At some point, you're going to have to have some of your own intelligence to get through life. As far as your summer job at the USGS, well that might come to a screeching halt on Tuesday or Wednesday when our Federal Government shuts down.

Just think - just four more years until you can apply and start working at the Paper Moon. I don't think they care if you can spell correctly and capitalize properly. They just want to ensure you can entertain the the good ol' boys.

LoL.

things like this are EXACTLY why i am in favor of proposing a law that makes it illegal to spread information about a case until after someone is found guilty. every time some little white bitch named stephanie delao (yes, that is her name) accuses someone of something bad, they end up with a ruined reputation and 125,000 dollars in court fees which nobody is willing to help them with, after they are found innocent. this is just another example of the ruined system of due process that exists today.
oh wait, whats this, guess what happenned just this last week, Mr. Cook, the band director at robinson secondary school, got accused by an UNNAMED PERSON YOUNGER THAN 15, of having sexually explicit internet conversations... wonder who that was. the person was supposedly not a student of his or a student at robinson. well, the profile fits... TADA!!! STEPHANIE DELAO. and you think due process works... due process is currently ranked up there with lynch mobs and king henry in my book. now guess what, tommorrow i'm going to school at robinson and my band teacher will not be there, that just sucks, he was my band teacher last year and i know he would never do anything like that, its just like this story, exactly like it

So, you're implying that the person who turned Mr. Cook of Robinson in is the same person that got Sean Lanigan into the mess he faced? Please don't tell me that you're going to be involved with investigations or criminal justice once you're done with Robinson high school.

Out of how many million people we have in this world, you actually think there's a link and it's Stepanie Delao who's responsible for Mr. Cook getting suspended without pay?

Exactly! This shit happens all the time. I bet everyone exclaimed disbelievingly that Sandusky was a nice guy and reminisced about his good points when he was first accused.
It's victim blaming shit like this that lets these guys walk free and keeps assault victims down. "NICE" GUYS RAPE TOO. Wake up. You racists on FFU probably think the only person who would do something like that is some big scary black guy. Yeah right. I bet this guy did it. What does she have to gain from making that up? Having to testify? Getting grilled by police? Having her friends make fun of her? Having gross asshats like you all clamor about how this guy taught your son soccer and went to a barbecue with you once so he couldn't possibly be a child molester? Shit, he probably molested said son and you wouldn't even know it. Maybe he was jizzing on your azaleas during the BBQ too.
Again, WAKE UP.

When's the last time you were
a) sexually assaulted
b) a twelve year old girl
Kids that age are very embarrassed about sex. If her allegation is true (and I have seen no valid reason her to make me doubt her) then I expect she was probably ashamed and not sure how to express it, even to her parents. I have never been assaulted but I have been in situations like this and sometimes it's hard to get the truth out once there's been a gap. She probably didn't go home immediately (12 year olds can't drive) and if she didn't call or talk to her parents immediately after the incident, she probably lost her nerve, started doubting her experience, and started feeling ashamed and maybe like she brought it on herself by "tempting" him or something.
Society tells women to feel responsible when they're assaulted - "asking for it" bullshit, so I expect she was internalizing that and was afraid. plus she's TWELVE who the hell acts logically at that age

Um, you might want to actually try reading the specifics about this Lannigan case...he was found to be 100% INNOCENT of these specious charges. The girl was a little psychopath that tried to railroad him...

Don't know where that "racist" charge of yours comes from...

He admitted to picking elementary school girls up and spinning them around in the gym, sometimes with no other adult present. That's a no-no in FCPS. It's considered inappropriate contact with a student. That's why he didn't get his old job back. Whether or not he's a pervert is open to debate. Whether or not he did something wrong is not.......he did.

If you don't want this to keep popping up as a topic of discussion, stop posting articles in the Centreview about yet another sham money grab so you can continue to live in a $850K house in Va Run on the salary of a part-time H.S. soccer coach and mid-level county employee wife.

He didn't do anything "again". He was found innocent of all charges in the cr incident by an impartial jury.
There is a lot of hearsay about where he is, but I will say if he has gotten in trouble again it will be shocking. If I were him, I would have had a camera on me wherever I went in the school ( I know this isn't possible, I am exaggerating) to make sure that nothing I did or said could ever be misconstrued. I hope these rumors are just that..

No such thing as "Proven innocent". The county attorney simply failed to prove the charges. Lanigan may or may not have been guilty in the Centre Ridge incident but you would have to be an idiot to believe that Lanigan was completely innocent after all these allegations over all these years.

^^^^ THIS ^^^^ was the beginning of all of Mr. Lannigan's troubles. The incident in Virginia beach nearly got him fired. That Virginia beach incident was the skeleton in his closet that caused the police and the schools to believe the Center ridge girl in the first place.

Look, it is folly to state that he was guilty of the crimes to which he was charged years ago. The jury almost instantly came back with an acquittal, and it was not a good judgment by the prosecutor to bring charges. The question of legal culpability was resolved, and with good reason.

Now, let's talk other than the law. Did this guy use questionable or poor judgment? One would definitely think so. After going what he went through in the trial, he behaves himself in a way a few years later at South Lakes that leaves him exposed to allegations and claims? Anyone in his shoes should behaved an ounce of impropriety.

Legal culpability and poor judgment are two different things.

It's funny reading through this thread. So many people were fooled by Lanigan for so long. He is a sick, pervert and should be in prison. Now he will run off to California and find some more victims.

If Lanigan was a black man he would have gone to prison years ago. Since he is white he got all these white people rallying behind him and got the not guilty verdict. He was probably guilty as hell and he is a pervert. He is damn lucky to be free. He will probably end up in prison eventually.

Peter Greenspun’s reviews
My life changed forever on a January day in 2010 when I was falsely accused by one of my elementary school students of serious misconduct. There were two stunning criminal charges made against me, both felonies, that could have resulted in me being imprisoned for as long as 40 years. During the early phases of this process I used two different lawyers, but they could not stop the legal juggernaut of the school district for which I worked, the local police department and a child protective services office. Two separate lie detector tests administered by FBI-trained specialists early in the legal process showed I was speaking truthfully but they were summarily dismissed by the prosecutor. Then, at the lowest moment of my ordeal and perhaps of my life, my mom suggested that I talk with Peter Greenspun about representing me.

Peter is well known in legal circles in Northern Virginia; he has a reputation for taking on the toughest cases with the most severe of penalties for defendants if he is not successful. I met with Peter and talked about my situation and he agreed to represent me in my case. As it turns out, this was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Peter is a no-nonsense attorney who demonstrates relentless energy and determination when representing his clients. He heads an office with very experienced and capable associates and paralegals. Peter exudes calm confidence and certainty and he has a great wealth of legal experience and extensive contacts throughout the criminal justice system in Virginia.

About five months after I was accused of the inappropriate contact with one of my students, a three-day criminal trial was held in the Circuit Court. Peter expertly cross-examined witnesses for the prosecution and orchestrated a very convincing strategy with numerous defense witnesses that resulted in two unanimous not guilty findings by a jury. Such was the effectiveness of Peter’s efforts that the jury’s deliberations lasted less than 40 minutes before they acquitted me of both of the very serious charges against me.
