News investigation reveals how Chicago schools kept a serial pedophile employed despite repeated convictions
January 9, 2019
By Victor Skinner


A recent news investigation reveals how a serial pedophile managed to remain employed in public schools for more than a decade despite numerous red flags, ultimately abusing hundreds of children.

Chicago Public Schools fired teacher Thomas Hacker in 1980 when a student complained to school officials that Hacker was sexually abusing his classmates. Nine years later he was convicted of the aggravated sexual assault of an 11-year-old Boy Scout and sentenced to 100 years in the Big Muddy River Correctional Center, where he died in June, the Associated Press reports.

The Chicago Tribune has since combed through Hacker’s testimony in depositions, public records and personnel files “obtained through a source,” and other records to sketch out how a man alleged to have molested hundreds of young boys in Illinois and Indiana over two decades managed to remain employed in schools.
