It's about time!

Markit

Agreed! About time - noticed they are being real quiet about the other cleaners and particularly the Indonesian guy he got busted with. Any news about him?

I believe the other teachers and cleaners are still in jail. It seems like some kind of wrangling was done at the highest levels. I am sure he is happy to be out but I can only imagine the tough life ahead to rebuild your life after such an experience,

Markit

Well, he'll never work at a school again but I suspect he can write a book/film because the facts were completely stupid that led to his conviction.

I cant even imagine the hell this man and all the others involved in this case have gone thru,,can anyone imagine how it must feel to be in prison for something you didn't do,it has to be soul destroying, Its a shame no chages can be brought against the lady who accused him in the first place,i believe she now lives in Europe somewhere, No disrespect to the man ,i'm happy he is free but what about the others still inside,accused of the same crime ???,,
