The Globe found 11 employees who went on to other schools after being accused of sexual misconduct; at least three were accused again. For the past 15 years, Ms. Miller has been the volunteer president of a group called Stop Educator Sexual Abuse, Misconduct and Exploitation (Sesame). Of those surveyed, 8.7% reported “noncontact” sexual misconduct, involving such things as lewd comments or pornographic images. The alternative to addressing educator sexual misconduct through coordinated policy is to leave it to the civil courts. Just 0.8% of those surveyed reported some form of lifetime mistreatment from organization staff; 6.4% of those cases involved sexual abuse.
