Clovis Unified Fires Teacher Accused of Molestation
Clovis Unified has fired a teacher accused of molesting a child. It comes over month after a second grade teacher was arrested and charged with child pornography and sexual abuse.
Clovis School Board President says, “We have sought the truth, however painful because the truth is what will help us to heal.”
Heal after shocking allegations came forward at Freedom Elementary. 44-year-old Neng Yang is accused of using his power as teacher to take advantage of a second grade girl.
He was arrested back in January and has since pleaded not guilty to child pornography and 45 counts of sexual abuse.
On Monday, the Clovis Unified School Board met behind closed doors to vote on whether Yang should have a job.
The closed session meeting took under five minutes before Van Volkinburg announced the decision. He says, “Our action today brings closure to employment of the individual at the center of recent disturbing events in our district.”
By law, Clovis Unified had to wait 30 days. The time allowed Yang a chance to defend himself. School officials say that day has come and gone.
In a court room, Yang is still innocent until proven guilty, but school officials say there was enough evidence to take action now before a ruling is made.
Yang is behind bars at the Fresno County Jail. His bail is set at $4.5 million. He’s due in Federal Court on April 9th.
Leading Sexual Abuse Lawyer Seeking Justice For Victims Of Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse perpetrated by an authority figure is an appalling reality for far too many children and adolescents in California and across the country. Priests, physicians, ministers, church officials and workers, coaches, teachers, day care workers, park rangers, and other trusted adults who sexually molest children ruin lives and cause irreparable psychological damage.
The individual pedophile can be tried as a criminal, but can rarely be held financially accountable. His or her sponsoring or employing organization—the church, diocese, school, school district, or other public or corporate entity—may be liable for its failure to adequately supervise and screen the perpetrator.
