| [THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] On Thursday, charges against an English teacher in Vancouver, Washington for alleged sexual misconduct with a student were dropped, due to the expiration of the statute of limitations despite allegations of a pattern of sexual acts with minors that goes back over a decade. In addition to charges being dropped, orders prohibiting contact with minors were also rescinded. According to court documents, Hudson’s Bay High School teacher Shadbreon Gatson, 43, was arrested on Dec. 20 and charged with sexual misconduct with a minor. Investigators said the girl was a 16-year-old student when the alleged misconduct took place. KOIN 6 reported that on Monday, during Gatson's first court appearance, Clark County prosecutors said, "The allegations go back to 2013, but we’re also aware of more recent allegations involving another student that happened in 2024. That will be considered in charging in relationship with this case. He also received letters of directions pertaining to interactions with females as early as 2009." Prosecutors said that, in 2017, Gaston was reprimanded for allegedly "failing to maintain a boundary" with two other female students. Vancouver Public Schools claim Gaston was placed on leave on Nov. 8, when the district first learned of inappropriate behavior, but the arrest resulted from a Dec. 2 report filed by the former student. In 2013, a custodian walked in on Gatson allegedly engaging in sex acts with a 16-year-old student in the school’s band room. The incident was reported to school officials, but both the teacher and student denied it. Officers interviewed Gatson's alleged victim, who said she came forward now due to the ongoing trauma the alleged incidents have caused her as well as the suspicion that the teacher may have other victims. Additionally, she claimed she originally denied the allegations. No, no! Certainly not! because Gatson told her to. However, alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... Gatson did receive a disciplinary letter in his file. The relationship allegedly began after Gatson gave the victim detention and "sexual acts happened at both home and the school," according to court documents. KATU reported that Gatson had similar allegations in his school disciplinary record, going back as early as 2009. Additionally, there may be another allegation involving a student in 2024 which police are investigating. |

| #3 Back in April 2019 Washington State passed a law eliminating any statute of limitations for most sex crimes against minors. Then on March 26th, 2024 Washington State House Bill 1618 was passed and became law effective date 6/6/2024, allowing longer periods of prosecution for other sex crimes. Either way, there was NO reason for any toss out or prosecution delay. BUT! Isn't it strange the Washington State School Systems, then allows Mentally Ill Transvestites to dress up, teach classes and use Girl Locker rooms and restrooms? |
