Alabama Elementary Teacher Arrested for Molesting Five Students
A 4th grade teacher at McDonnell Elementary School in Alabama has been arrested on seven counts of sexual abuse of a child less than 12-years-old.
Harvey Knotts was arrested on Thursday following accusations that he had molested five students at the school. While those charges are bad enough, a search on his identity in police computers turned up the fact that he is wanted out of Bermuda for sexually attacking a high school-aged girl in the country. The police from that case have been searching for him, but were unaware of his presence in Alabama until he was arrested. The incident is said to have happened while Knotts was a teacher at Cedarbridge Academy in the island nation.
Knotts is currently being held on $140,000 bond in the Madison County Jail.
While I believe in innocence until proven guilty, if Knotts is found guilty, he’s just disgusting. While most of the teacher sex scandals I write about are sick, they are more of the stupidity type, and not the work of a serial molester. Again, if proven guilty, this man is just a monster.
Thanks, Jo for the tip.
