Middle school boys in Rhode Island created a “pedo database” to document an alleged creepy teacher’s behaviour toward the girls in their class.
The eight seventh-graders from Davisville Middle School in North Kingstown, R.I., came up with the system for a teacher who allegedly acted inappropriately towards his female students by asking them to dance for him, suggesting they come to class in bathing suits, and giving them nicknames like “sweetheart,” the Boston Globe reported.
The data the boys compiled is now being used in a stalking investigation against the teacher, who was put on leave earlier this year.
One of the boys, now a 15-year-old high school student, told the Globe that when the group tried to report the situation, they weren’t taken seriously – even though the teacher’s alleged behaviour was making things uncomfortable for the girls in the class.
“Sometimes they’d laugh. Sometimes they just kind of just sit there awkwardly,” the boy recalled.

“Even the ones that said he was ‘creepy’ laughed because they were obviously not trying to tick him off or anything. So they’re just fake laughing, awkwardly laughing.”
In January 2021, the boys decided to keep written records on the messaging platform Discord.
“This is now the official chat that we will later use as evidence against (the teacher) about pedophilia in case anything does come up in the future, and we do turn out to be right,” one boy wrote in the group chat, according to the paper.
The boy said he felt bad the girls had to go through that “because sometimes it just seems like it was a humiliating thing,” like making them “get up and dance.”
The teacher was removed from school in April and placed on leave amid allegations he stalked a preteen girl he coached and had been inappropriate with others.
