NY AG report blames Babylon School administrators for decades of educator sexual misconduct

His Plainview father is accused of tasing his son, his autistic son rather, during an emotional outburst. Police say the principal at the boys' middle school reported the 14-year-old had scratches and marks on his neck and stomach. After an investigation, the boys' father, Jin Chang, was arrested and the taser removed from the home. And nearly five years ago, News 12 first broke the story about allegations of sexual misconduct in Babylon schools. And now, the state attorney general's office is placing the blame on the district. News 12's Daniela Rodriguez is outside Babylon High School tonight and spoke with the former student who first spoke out. Daniela, good evening. Joe, good evening. Brittany Roll was 16 years old when she says she was groomed and then sexually abused by her teacher here at Babylon Junior High School. That was in 2010. Today, she says she feels absolutely validated by the Office of the New York Attorney General and its findings. Newly released information from New York State investigators say there were several instances spanning decades in which Babylon school administrators say, quote, received information indicating sexual harassment or misconduct by educators and repeatedly failed to respond adequately or at all. It is really horrific beyond comprehension in some ways. And so I think that that might make it hard for some people to accept, but it's what happened. And now the Babylon School District says it has condemned and will continue to condemn in the strongest possible terms the behavior and culture of permissiveness and predation with the new administration and Board of Education. Quote, they say we have spent the past five years establishing a new culture that puts the safety of our students first. And we're going to detail the steps the district has taken tonight at 10. For now, we're in Babylon, Suffolk County, Daniela Rodriguez, News 12.
