WDT: Shocking Double Suicide On The Down Low for Too Long

   Maybe it's because it was in the South Lewis School district, nestled in a no-man's land between media markets, but I am shocked this shocking story is only now coming to light...
    A young girl sexually victimized by a thirty-something teacher who gets caught and kills himself and then after hazing over the affair the young lady follows suit.
    This is tragic and beyond shocking.
     Everybody has heard tales of these affairs in schools, but with such tragic results, that's of interest.
     It's a one day Sunday story in the Times, but it should make us all wonder not at indiscretions, but at cover ups.Watertown Daily Times | South Lewis continues to struggle with suicides of student, ex-teacher

Isn't that type of activity legal in Lewis County? Maybe Matt Doheny will check into it.

My wife graduated from S.L. 40+ years ago. She assures me the teacher/student thing ain't just a modern phenomonum. Anyone who reads the news over the last couple of years knows it a bigger problem than anyone would like to admit.
