Aric Babbitt was not just a teacher to some of his former students; he was also a mentor.
To at least one of them, he was a father figure.
But authorities believe Babbitt used his position of authority to not only gain his students’ trust but also to exploit it.
Newly released police documents state that Babbitt, a 40-year-old elementary school teacher from Minnesota, and his 36-year-old husband, Matthew Deyo, sexually abused eight underage boys over the course several years, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported.

It stated that the accusations were “too great to overcome” that the couple decided to “choose their own destinies rather than experience the embarrassment, ridicule, hatred and inevitable loss of freedom that the justice system would give.”
Yep, it was all about you, wasn't it scum bags?
