Rapes at Los Gatos High

I was outraged to learn that there have been about a dozen rapes at Los Gatos High this past year and no warnings or announcements were made to protect other girls from this predator who has now been caught and is going to trial. The alleged rapist is an ex LGHS student who graduated 2 or so years ago. He was preying on freshman who were members of the cheerleading squads. He would attack them at football games. Why did the principal not warn us. Why did it take so long to stop a recent ex student known to many? Why was this kept a secret? Did this lead to rapes that could have been prevented if warnings had gone out early? I hope this was not some type of cover up to keep the scandal out of the press to protect the "reputation" of the school when our daughters were in danger. I would encourage all of the women who were attacked to testify. Put this monster away forever.    If our school officials knew about this and did not warn the parents then they should be fired. We have a right to know the timeline of events in this terrible crime.
