Police Reports Raise Questions About Probe Of Convicted Band Teacher

October 2, 2012 9:30 PM " AURORA, Ill. (CBS) - Officials at West Aurora High School, already under fire for not stopping a sexual predator, now are being accused of trying to cover up the whole mess.

Band teacher Stephen Orland – caught with a student in 2010 – was allowed to remain in the classroom until he was caught again a year later, with two other girls.

CBS 2′s Dave Savini has newly obtained records which are raising more questions about the actions of district officials.

John Wilson, a former police officer, said his daughter and her West Aurora High School classmates were put in harm’s way for nearly a year, when school officials failed to take action against Orland, who is now a convicted sex offender, having pleaded guilty to sexual abuse charges involving two students.

“I’m outraged. I’m disgusted with it,” Wilson said. “These people need to be held accountable. For this administration to allow this predator to be involved in all of our lives, it is just horrifying.”

Wilson said records, newly obtained by CBS 2, raise serious questions about what schools officials knew; and whether they are now trying to engage in a cover up.

It all began with Leon Smith, a former school custodian. "
