"That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age."

This is how SAUSD deals with perps. They tell staff to shut up and refuse to talk to anyone who needs to know information. I would guess that this is the work of Evelyn Carrigg who has sheltered and protected this guy for years. We all know that he is a menace to the students that he is supposed to be watching over. He's a predator with a long history of abusing the low-functioning students in his care.

Is it any suprise at all that the site's administrators would try and cover up his wrong doings? It is a pathetic attempt to avoid responsibility that has been negligent for YEARS.. Your children are not safe until these corrupt administrators are taken to task and ejected from the school district. Disgusting and repulsive behavior by those administrators who are in charge.

At least it's not a Catholic priest this time!

Gustavo,
You are entering a hornet’s nest with this one. That guy was Esther Jones’ pet from Lathrop (his wife works there still). At Lathrop Alonso was the bilingual assistant for Evelyn Carrigg and she was tasked to keep an eye on him. Carrigg is now the VP at Saddleback and she knows fully well that he has a history of being inappropriate with students. He moved to Saddleback into a classroom with handicapped students because the pay is better and not because he had any particular expertise or interest in the kids. He was a very odd guy. Now that Jones had been terminated, Alonso no longer has her skirts to hide under. Carrigg would be the cover-up specialist at this point.

Gustavo,
I don't know if you or your readers are aware of this long-running column of problems at the SAUSD. It is posted at the OrangeJuice blog and it has been active since 2006. there are several links at the top of the page which divide things up by year.

There is no way that this news can come as a suprise to people who should have been paying attention.

There was a teacher who tried hard to get him removed from the classroom a few years back. They have had a lot of teachers in that classroom. It’s like it is haunted or something. I feel sorry for the kids. If it’s the guy I am thinking about, he was really really weird and creepy.

I remember when the Weekly used to cover SanTana Unified with a comb--now, it seems the white folks down in Capistrano deserve more attention. Shame on you, Weekly.

Keeping things hushed up? What about duty as mandated reporters? Those administrators have a duty of care that they are not functioning under. What in the world is wrong with them? Thank you for this story, Gus. I’m a parent and I’d be absolutely furious if my child was in that school right now!

Another assistant caught him in the act and went directly to the school police. That, alone, should tell you how bad the problem had gotten. Everyone knew that Esther and Evelyn would punish anyone who complained about their precious Alonso! That assistant was smart to bypass the SHS administrators and get the police involved. I feel sorry for the retaliation that is sure to come because of being heroic for the kids.

I hope this Alonso character rots in hell.

It's amazing how sex abuse makes people go crazy with covering stuff up. Disgusting, really.

Saddleback has a long history of ineffective leadership. When I was a student there the adminstration did little to encourage the success of student achievements. Instead students were told to shut up and put up (ie, Jones' daily Words of Wisdom). The students with a brain were frustrated that the administration cared more about their reputations than the welfare of students. When Esther Jones made INTERNATIONAL headlines about trying to pass failing students to fulfill NCLB requirements clearly demonstrates what the administration would illegally do to cover their asses. Saddleback has lost all its integrity since they lost Dr. Laxton and Mrs. Maher...they were the best VP and Principal when I was a student there. The school has not seen the sun since.

So this guy basiclly flashed his junk to a disabled student?

I would be surprised if this guy is NOT Catholic. He is not a Diocese of Orange employee but somehow, I spell something with political influence that usually leads to Catholicism in the OC!

Sal: I'm not sure about the exact nature of the crime, having yet to read the police report. However, my sources say it's a bit more serious than what you wrote--as if that's not disgusting enough.

The unabashed corruption - at all levels of the local Santa Ana government and school district - makes me sick.

The north-end whiteys are quick to blame the crumbling infrastructure on the "illegals," but the last time I checked, undocumented immigrants certainly weren't the people skimming funds while school kids had no grass, covering up for sex abuse in the schools, and letting the streets turn to ruin.

The players are different, but the motive is the same: money. Keep victims and parents in the dark, while we steal your cash and turn your children into sacrificial lambs.

Jane Russo is now letting the SAPD investigate the worst of the worst aministrators. Hopefully they will find out who the real offenders are- you know, the cover up specialists.

I just graduated from that school. My freshman year I reported this guy to the head teacher of the special education program. This guy would shove food in the student’s mouth during lunch like if he was disgusted by it. I told the other assistants about it and even the teacher but I guess that wasn’t enough to fire him. I always wondered why he was still doing that job if he didn’t like it but now I see why. I just hope it wasn’t to the girl I grew close too.

Is this Why the fired our principal? now we have a new principal
