A school master is in a position of power. If he touches children's' genitals he is wrong in so many ways I can't even list them.
There is no level at which it is ok. None. That doesn't mean that it is always "hideously, heinously horrible", but it is still wrong.
If a school master in a position of power is known to have touched multiple children in a sexual way, did he finally get to the one that was vulnerable to more than just fondling?
We are not talking about the McMartin fiasco here. We are talking about someone who was the victim and knew of other victims defending the perpetrators.
I wouldn't ever try to interpret your own personal response to this. It's none of my business. But what you right is a slap in the face to those who have been harmed.
And there are many.
