San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer tweeted. “An adult who commits ANY sex act on a minor 10 years younger must be registered a sex offender. Law must be changed.”

Then vote out the Dems who pass such pro-predator laws and stop worrying about mean tweets.

The San Francisco Unified School District is being sued over a childhood sexual abuse claim involving a former Lowell High School teacher and counselor who died in 2018.

According to the Corsiglia, McMahon and Allard law firm in an email this week, the former teacher, Harlan Edelman, was not properly supervised by the school district and that led to the sexual abuse of a male student only identified as "John Doe."

The law firm alleged that during the 2004-2005 school year, Edelman began "grooming" Doe to gain the student's trust and sexually violate him.

"Edelman, under the guise of helping Doe raise his grades, began to give Doe rides home along with buying him meals and gifts. With school officials turning a blind-eye to Edelman's behavior, he is alleged to have abused Doe on the Lowell High School campus, including in his office and classroom," the law firm said in its email.

"Doe believed that Edelman had a lot of clout at Lowell High School and could help him achieve his academic goals. Lowell High School is one of the best high schools in the country and historically has test scores ranking among the Top 10 Public Schools in California," it said.

The student sought treatment in 2008 due to his ordeal, according to the law firm.

It noted that after his teaching stint in Lowell High School, Edelman taught at SFUSD's Academy of Arts and Sciences and was an employee of the school district until his resignation in September 2013.

The law firm also cited Edelman's arrest in a 2014 sting operation by a Mountain View undercover police officer after he arranged to meet with a 17-year-old boy on a gay website.

The former teacher pleaded guilty and was convicted of distributing or sending harmful matter that depicts a minor engaging in sexual conduct with the intent of arousing or appealing to sexual desires or for the purpose of engaging in sexual acts.

GLEN JEAN, W.Va. — Amid the hundreds of tents erected for the Boy Scouts of America’s National Jamboree, one especially stands out — decorated with a canopy of LGBTQ Pride flags and a string of multicolored lights, its tables covered with bowls of rainbow bracelets, pronoun stickers and diversity patches.

“This is my entire world,” said 18-year-old River Capell, a scout volunteer from Northern Virginia who describes themselves as nonbinary and pansexual.

The panic is due to fear that the extremely close and causal connection between homo-pedophilia and gay men will be exposed to the world.

Chad Sevearance-Turner, a former music minister who served years in prison for sexually abusing a minor boy, was originally slated to receive the award this year.

Charlotte Pride had praised him as an “influential advocate for LGBT+ issues,” Reduxx first reported.

Sevearance-Turner, 45, is president and chief executive officer at the Carolinas LGBT+ Chamber of Commerce, a nonprofit that “supports LGBT+ and allied businesses” in North and South Carolina.

He was accused by three minor boys of sexual abuse in 1998 when he was 20, all three of whom he met through his position as music director for New Harvest Church of God in Gaffney, South Carolina, according to a 2000 report from GoUpstate.com.

The three boys’ accusations were tried in three separate cases.

The first case involved a 14-year-old boy who testified that he spent the night with Sevearance-Turner at one of the other victims’ houses and awoke to Sevearance-Turner fondling his genitals. The boy also testified that Sevearance-Turner invited him to spend the night at his house, and when he did, Sevearance-Turner asked him how he would feel about a man performing oral sex on him.

“I thought he was joking,” the boy told the court at the time.

The child said Sevearance-Turner’s questions about sexual acts were upsetting because of his position in the church.

The second boy, who was 15 at the time of the alleged incident, testified that Sevearance-Turner invited him to his house and showed him a pornographic video of sex between a man and woman. The boy went to sleep in the same bed as Sevearance-Turner and awoke to Sevearance-Turner fondling him, the child said.

“He told me if I ever told the pastor, he’d make me look like a fool and a liar,” the boy said.

The third boy, who was also 15 when he said the incident happened, said Sevearance-Turner made the same advances to him when he stayed at the boy’s home for three weeks and fondled him multiple times.

Sevearance-Turner’s defense attorney Thomas Shealy accused the boys at the time of a “Salem witch hunt” against their alleged abuser.

Sevearance-Turner was eventually convicted in 2000 of performing a lewd act on a minor under 16 and sentenced to ten years in prison. He served just two years before being released on parole.

He is currently listed on the North Carolina sex offender registry.

Charlotte Pride quickly scrubbed Sevearance-Turner’s name from its website page listing this year’s “Champions of Pride” award winners after his child sex offense conviction came to light.

However, an archived version of the page shows him listed.

This is not the first time Sevearance-Turner’s child sex offender status has been unearthed while in a position of influence.

In 2016, Sevearance-Turner resigned as president of Charlotte’s LGBT Chamber of Commerce after his child sex offender conviction became known. He said at the time that his past had not stopped him from being successful.

At the time, Sevearance-Turner was at the forefront of a push for North Carolina to allow trans-identifying men to use women’s bathrooms.
