PART 4 - WHAT @mcps @mocoboe KNEW in 2011: SCHERER took students to Cheesecake Factory, Movies, Miniature Golf. Trips with Students were CONFIRMED by MCPS Investigation. Were Police or CPS Notified?


@mcps @mocoboe Let's Review What You Knew About Former Broad Acres ES Teacher Richard Scherer Back in 2011 While We Wait for Your Official Statement.

The Parents' Coalition of Montgomery County, MD has obtained a copy of the Criminal Complaint and the Affidavit in support of the criminal complaint in the arrest of former MCPS Broad Acres Elementary School teacher Richard Scherer. 

In Part 4 of our series on the information revealed by the FBI in their Criminal Complaint on former MCPS Broad Acres Elementary School teacher Richard W. Scherer the public learns that back in 2011, MCPS and the Board of Education knew that: 

  • Broad Acres Elementary School teacher Richard Scherer had taken students to the Cheesecake Factory Restaurant, movies, and miniature golf. 
  • MCPS Broad Acres Elementary School teacher Richard Scherer exchanged text messages and Facebook messages with students. 
  • MCPS ordered an internal investigation into Richard Scherer's interactions with students.
  • The MCPS internal investigation substantiated the information that had been gathered in the report.  That is, the students were telling the truth about MCPS Broad Acres Elementary School teacher Richard Scherer's interactions with them.

AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT I, Randall E. Garver, being duly sworn, depose and say: 

1. I am a Special Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and entered on duty in May 2006. I am currently assigned to the Buffalo Field Office and work on cases associated with the Violent Crimes Against Children program, which targets individuals involved in the online sexual exploitation of children...

...The same report continued with the principal learning that SCHERER also took both middle school girls to the Cheesecake Factory and exchanged text and Facebook messages. The report then stated that on June 14, 2011, the MCPS ordered the investigation and on June 15, 2011, the District placed SCHERER on administrative leave. The document then discussed how MCPS substantiated the information detailed herein, including trips with the students to restaurants, movies, and miniature golf...


So far, there are FOUR MCPS employees who as MANDATORY REPORTERS should have reported instances of suspected sexual abuse of children to Montgomery County Police or Child Protective Services in 2011.
