Counselor at Md. high school arrested on sex offense charges with women he met on Tinder
A counselor at a Maryland high school was arrested Thursday on sex offense and assault charges after allegedly forcing himself on adult women during two incidents, each involving acquaintances he met on the social media app Tinder.
Police said the counselor, Colin S. Black, 33, who has worked at Albert Einstein High School in Kensington, had consensual sex with the women and then forced them to perform sex acts they did not want to do.
School Principal James G. Fernandez sent a letter to school families Thursday, informing them of the arrest and noting that the charges did not involve students or minors, or happen on school property. He said student safety remains a top priority.
“These charges are deeply troubling,” he wrote. “This type of behavior does not reflect the principles of MCPS or our community, and it will not be tolerated,” a reference to Montgomery County Public Schools.
In court papers, detectives alleged that one woman went to Black’s Rockville apartment March 24 and that the two had intercourse. Afterward, Black allegedly ignored the woman’s pleas as she repeatedly told him to stop other sex acts, according to documents filed in court.
Police said other allegations also have come to light about an alleged assault from December 2016...

DeleteYet another chapter in the long-running narrative about MCPS's failure to protect students from staff members whose behavior is at the very least inappropriate if not outright predatory. As the parent of a daughter, I am outraged that a creep was left in place to meet with students one-on-one. Is the union really that powerful, or MCPS leadership really that spineless?
ReplyDeleteIf I had to guess, since the law have become the obstacle to justice, the leadership is terrified of getting sued so they don't get involved.
Delete@9:48 PM The Board of Education is already being sued and have been multiple times. Stop guessing and get the facts.
DeleteIrresponsible public officials and public schools get sued when they fail to protect children and keep them safe during the school day. That is already happening and the taxpayers of Montgomery County are picking up the cost of outside lawyers, litigation and settlements.
Yes ma'am. Since irresponsible public officials are not deterred by lawsuits, shouldn't they be held personally responsible?
ReplyDeleteWonder if Black will go back to his job if charges get dropped or he is found not guilty.
