@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 this part of the Affidavit the public learns that the Broad Acres Elementary School Principal spoke to the friend of the first student that filed a complaint.
- In this part of the Affidavit it is revealed that the older sister of this student was also a potential victim of Richard W. Scherer.
- Mr. Scherer is alleged to have texted and sent Facebook messages to the older sister.
Now, there are FOUR MCPS employees who as MANDATORY REPORTERS should have reported this alleged sexual abuse to Montgomery County Police or Child Protective Services in 2011.

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 by stating that the school principal told the MCPS investigator that spoke to the friend (the other student) who told the principal that SCHERER hugs her and touches her thigh. SCHERER remarked “your boobs are growing” to the middle school aged older sister of the same student. The girl told the principal she heard SCHERER tell the same middle school aged sister, “I love you” and kissed the older sister’s hand. The report stated that SCHERER texts with this student’s older sister and messaged the older sister on Facebook to have her friend “wear a tank top so that he can see how much her boobs have grown.” SCHERER asked one of the middle school aged girls if she got her period yet. The student told the principal that her middle school aged sister once took her sweater off in SCHERER’s classroom before putting it back on when she felt uncomfortable; “Mr. Scherer told her in a strict way to take it off.”..
More excerpts from the Affidavit will follow in separate posts on this blog.
