Assistant principle in Iowa accused with sex charges

| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks
After going through some of the older blogs, I remembered an event that happened in my hometown of Dubuque, Iowa. At Hempstead High School, the assistant principle, Shane Oswald, is accused of having sex with a 17 year old student and also giving her prescription drugs (hydrocodone) and alcohol. When word of this got out, Oswald fled and ran away to Florida, where he was arrested. Oswald plead not guilty to these accusations but the 17 year old girl was able to draw diagrams of the inside of his home. His $50,000 bail was posted last week by his father. His trial is set to start April 15. Since I live in Dubuque, I've heard many stories about this case such as Oswald would sneak the girl into his basement while his family was upstairs to have sex with her. I've also heard that Oswald would give the girl hydrocodone before she went to school. I find this whole situation rather disturbing and it really makes me wonder why and how some people do the things they do.

The website below has several articles on the case.
