Former Kenai Peninsula Borough School District custodian John Doe was arrested and charged with multiple counts of sexual abuse of a minor. The incidents reportedly occurred between 2017 and 2019 at several different schools where Doe worked. Doe was recently terminated from his custodial position at a local elementary school and the charges were filed shortly after.
The investigation into Doe’s alleged misconduct began after a 14-year-old student came forward and reported inappropriate behavior by the custodian. The student’s report prompted authorities to search for additional victims, leading to the discovery of multiple other minors who had been subjected to similar abuse by Doe.
Doe faces charges of sexual abuse of a minor in the first, second, and third degree, as well as coercion. He is currently being held at a local correctional facility on a $50,000 cash-only bail. If convicted, he could face significant jail time and be required to register as a sex offender.
The Kenai Peninsula Borough School District issued a statement expressing shock and concern over the allegations against Doe. They have emphasized their commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of their students, and are cooperating fully with law enforcement as they investigate the matter.
Parents and community members have expressed outrage and concern over the case, with many calling for increased vigilance in monitoring the behavior of school employees. The charges against Doe serve as a reminder of the importance of reporting any suspicious or inappropriate behavior to authorities, in order to protect children from potential harm.
The trial for John Doe is scheduled to take place in the coming months, and concerned parties are urged to stay informed as the case progresses.
