Chicago School Principal ‘Ignored’ Warnings in Horrific Sexual-Abuse Case: Documents

A long-buried report shows that the principal at a Chicago elementary school “knew or should have known” about a teacher who was accused of sexually abusing at least 19 boys. A new Chicago Tribune investigation has found a lengthy 2002 case manager’s report from the Chicago Public Schools’ inspector general’s office, which is said to have concluded that at least four CPS employees reported their concerns about Marvin Lovett while he taught at the school. Lovett for years made secret pornographic videotapes of young students.
