They are all “great guys” until someone pulls their covers. In this case, if it is proven that Mr. Turner did the dirty deed, then he should pay the price and NEVER “teach” again. Seems like El Camino is the place for the screwiest teachers to find employment. We recall Woodchips Keropian and his ilk. Oh please people…take down your denial glasses. They need polishing.
He’s a great guy until that’s your 15 year old daughter SMH! He’s a grown man and should know better.
I have to say, I agree with all those people that are against lewd acts on children. I feel it is definitely wrong and that you can’t justify this type of situation. I fucked Korean women. They ain’t shit.
According to a post I just seen on fb, students from El Camino are taking to Twitter to find out who “snitched” on this guy so they can harass them. This is going to lead to something bad. Bullying is never good.
