Predator in the Classroom: Jacob Wessel Charged Again Part 2
A disturbing pattern of institutional failure at Mooresville Christian Academy has finally come to light with the arrest of Jacob Wessel, a former robotics teacher now facing multiple charges involving minors. For years, school administrators ignored glaring red flags while Wessel allegedly groomed and victimized students right under their noses.
The earliest documented incident dates back to 2021, when Wessel reportedly showed pornography to a 12-year-old student while driving him to a soccer game. Despite the student immediately reporting this to his mother (who worked at the school), administrators allegedly swept it under the rug. Afterward, Wessel began calling the boy a "snitch" in front of classmates – clear evidence that school principal Bruce Peters had spoken to Wessel about the allegations without taking any meaningful action.
Throughout 2022, concerned parents documented multiple disturbing incidents: female students sitting on Wessel's lap during technology class, uncomfortable interactions in hallways, and other boundary violations. Each time, Peters and the school board dismissed these reports as "harmful hearsay and gossip," gaslighting parents who were desperately trying to protect their children.
What makes this case particularly infuriating is the revelation of an "unwritten rule" within Mooresville schools that mandated staff report abuse concerns to administrators rather than directly to authorities as required by law. This created a filter where school officials could decide what warranted reporting – potentially violating mandatory reporting laws and endangering countless children.
When Wessel was finally terminated in December 2024 after texting a 13-year-old student, Peters sent an email to the entire school community praising him as "a wonderful employee" and bizarrely stating, "these types of things happen, and I speak from experience." After charges were filed in May 2025, Wessel went on the run for months before being arrested in August after barricading himself in an Indianapolis home.
As we await Wessel's November hearing, this case serves as a stark reminder of what happens when institutions prioritize their reputation over children's safety. If you've witnessed or experienced abuse, remember: you don't have to report to school administrators first – go directly to police or child protective services. Your voice matters, and speaking up could prevent others from suffering the same fate.

Everyone.
00:01:07.567 --> 00:01:11.867
I'm Chop, your host, and with me always is my beautiful co-host, julie.
00:01:11.867 --> 00:01:12.808
How are you doing today?
00:01:12.828 --> 00:01:14.271
I'm sad today.
00:01:14.731 --> 00:01:15.861
I'm sad too today.
00:01:15.861 --> 00:01:20.150
I'm happy for one reason though we finally got the electric fixed in our studio.
00:01:20.150 --> 00:01:32.234
It was run underground and we would have literally moved the studio, but like every step of the way I thought I had it fixed, until we just said fuck it and dug up a whole new thing and all new lines.
00:01:32.234 --> 00:01:33.176
So we got it fixed.
00:01:33.176 --> 00:01:34.686
But today is a sad day.
00:01:34.686 --> 00:01:34.966
Man.
00:01:34.966 --> 00:01:42.674
Charlie Kirk was assassinated today by some piece of shit, coward ass dude.
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.450
If you don't know who Charlie Kirk is, you must be living under a rock.
00:01:45.450 --> 00:01:49.710
He's a 31-year-old dude who was very involved in politics.
00:01:49.710 --> 00:01:52.709
Today was one of the best debaters that I've ever seen.
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:54.786
Conservative powerhouse.
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:00.828
Yeah, he was just an awesome, good-hearted Christian dude and if you don't like that then I don't know what to tell you.
00:02:00.828 --> 00:02:04.974
But, yeah, pissed off and a little bit sad about it today, everyone.
00:02:04.974 --> 00:02:05.935
So rest in peace.
00:02:05.935 --> 00:02:12.048
Charlie man, I know you're looking down on us, thanking us for what we're doing, like we thanked you for what you did every day.
00:02:12.048 --> 00:02:19.680
Anyway, today we're diving into a deeply disturbing story that's been shaking up a small town, indiana community.
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:27.593
We're talking about Jacob Wessel, a 45-year-old former robotics teacher at Mooresville Christian Academy, or MCA for short.
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:53.074
Wessel was arrested on August 14, 2025, in Indianapolis and is now sitting in a Morgan County II controlled substance and that's Adderall for another Level V felony and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, a Class A misdemeanor tied to supplying marijuana.
00:02:53.074 --> 00:03:10.230
These stem from incidents between September and December 2024, where he allegedly sent creepy text messages to a 13-year-old female student, which we covered in our first episode covering Wessel called Text Messages in Adderall the Anatomy of a Predator.
00:03:10.230 --> 00:03:17.354
Court docs paint a picture of grooming and boundary smashing that no one should ever see in a school.
00:03:17.354 --> 00:03:20.340
But Julie, this didn't come out of anywhere.
00:03:20.340 --> 00:03:30.687
There was a 2021 incident where he allegedly showed pornography to a 12 or 13 year old boy in the school Crickets.
00:03:31.408 --> 00:03:38.002
Wessel got fired in December of 2024 after breaking a no texting students rule from earlier complaints.
00:03:38.002 --> 00:03:50.528
But the head of school, bruce Peters, downplayed it all in an email to parents, calling the text not sexual in nature and hyping Wessel's amazing impact on kids.
00:03:50.528 --> 00:03:55.931
Yeah, amazing, peters himself got the boot right in the middle of this mess.
00:03:55.931 --> 00:04:03.373
It's a story of red flags ignored, parents dismissed and a system that failed kids big time.
00:04:03.373 --> 00:04:15.871
Today we're unpacking the timeline, reading from police reports and emails and calling out how this could have been stopped years earlier, plus some new developments while he was on the run.
00:04:16.540 --> 00:04:17.141
That's right.
00:04:17.141 --> 00:04:21.552
It's infuriating how warnings were waved away like they were nothing.
00:04:21.552 --> 00:04:26.112
Before we get into the 2025 charges that finally brought this to light.
00:04:26.112 --> 00:04:38.553
Back when our first episode on the text messages in Adderall dropped, there were signs waving in front of the school board and Bruce Peters as early as 2021 and 2022.
00:04:38.553 --> 00:04:47.095
Let's start with that buried 2021 incident from a detective's report dated May 27, 2025.
00:04:47.095 --> 00:04:55.175
It resurfaced during the first investigation, showing just how long this predator was operating unchecked.
00:04:55.778 --> 00:05:07.262
The detectives met with both parent and student in the interview room and advised both of them that he intended to interview each party separately, and both parent and student agreed to this.
00:05:07.262 --> 00:05:11.833
He first interviewed the student and here is a summary of the entire interview.
00:05:11.833 --> 00:05:22.127
He advised that he knows Wessel through Mooresville Christian Academy and that Wessel was his soccer coach for MCA and that he played soccer for the MCA team.
00:05:22.127 --> 00:05:27.903
He describes Wessel as lazy and that he would say odd things in his classroom.
00:05:27.903 --> 00:05:29.949
A soccer coach that was lazy.
00:05:29.949 --> 00:05:30.954
That's weird.
00:05:31.233 --> 00:05:40.863
He stated that Wessel would often cuss in his classroom saying shit and fuck multiple times, and that Wessel would seem to favor the girls at soccer practices.
00:05:40.863 --> 00:05:45.434
Wessel would make the boys run laps and not make the girls do the same.
00:05:45.434 --> 00:05:47.869
Instead, he would just talk to them.
00:05:47.869 --> 00:05:51.290
Now they're in a Christian school and he's throwing around words like that.
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.908
Shit and fuck in front of 12, 13, 14-year-old kids.
00:05:54.908 --> 00:05:55.711
You know what that means.
00:05:55.711 --> 00:05:58.689
He's trying to be cool, trying to fit in Groom him.
00:05:58.689 --> 00:06:00.505
Grooming yep.
00:06:00.505 --> 00:06:11.514
The detective inquired about the incident involving Wesessel that was discussed between parent and student, and he stated the one where he showed me porn.
00:06:11.514 --> 00:06:18.507
The student advised that he would have been 12 or 13 when the incident occurred and that it was maybe far away.
00:06:18.507 --> 00:06:28.060
The student's mother states that she couldn't drive well.
00:06:28.362 --> 00:06:31.829
So she told Wessel that her child couldn't attend the soccer game.
00:06:31.829 --> 00:06:38.495
Wessel offered to drive him to the game, as he was supposed to be taking his children to the game as well.
00:06:38.495 --> 00:06:46.540
The student stated that Wessel dropped all of his children off at home, so it was just him and Wessel in the vehicle.
00:06:48.165 --> 00:06:56.324
So this dude offered to take one of the soccer kids to the game because his mom couldn't give him a ride or whatever Poor thing.
00:06:56.324 --> 00:06:58.288
I bet she was sad and happy.
00:06:58.288 --> 00:07:00.040
Oh, this coach is cool man.
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:01.963
He's going to take my kid to the soccer game.
00:07:01.963 --> 00:07:03.226
Man, I ain't got to worry about it.
00:07:03.226 --> 00:07:06.314
What a blessing and this dude showing his kid.
00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:11.831
Her son porn yeah porn in the freaking car after he drops his kids off.
00:07:11.831 --> 00:07:13.846
See, that's some weird shit right there.
00:07:13.846 --> 00:07:17.663
I would have took the other kid home and then took my kids home with me.
00:07:17.663 --> 00:07:18.305
You know what I mean.
00:07:18.545 --> 00:07:28.196
Anyway, no, the reason he dropped his kids off first he was supposed to take his kids to the soccer game with is what the parent thought.
00:07:28.437 --> 00:07:37.613
Oh, but he dropped his children off and him and the student proceeded on their way to this game in the car.
00:07:37.613 --> 00:07:39.923
So he kind of used his kids as a decoy Look, my kids are going with me.
00:07:39.923 --> 00:07:41.550
So he didn't even take his kids to the game.
00:07:41.550 --> 00:07:42.721
That's even fucking weirder.
00:07:43.461 --> 00:07:44.002
I know.
00:07:45.084 --> 00:07:49.127
The student states that he was in the back seat and Wessel was driving with his knee.
00:07:49.127 --> 00:07:56.295
Wessel displayed his phone screen to him and told him to look at this, and that Wessel called it quote art.
00:07:56.295 --> 00:08:06.668
Wessel then showed him a picture of a girl dressed as a wolf and further explains that the girl was wearing wolf ears and a wolf nose and that she was totally naked.
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:11.360
The student states that the girl's boobs and underneath were totally visible.
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.569
I asked him if he meant her vagina and he stated yeah.
00:08:14.569 --> 00:08:20.932
Wessel was also showing him cartoon, anime pornography as well as real people.
00:08:20.932 --> 00:08:32.475
The student clarifies that the girl in the wolf ears was a nude cartoon, but Wessel also showed him a human nude girl that had cat ears on.
00:08:33.256 --> 00:08:35.061
That's like furry point or something.
00:08:35.061 --> 00:08:40.953
He advises that the human girl was naked and that her boobs and vagina were visible.
00:08:40.953 --> 00:08:54.062
He also described the human girl as a pasty white girl and that Wessel was scrolling his phone for the duration of the ride in the car and would show images to him throughout the whole trip.
00:08:54.283 --> 00:09:00.221
So he was on his phone, driving with his knees scrolling, watching porn while he's taking a kid to a soccer game.
00:09:00.702 --> 00:09:01.423
Safety first.
00:09:02.105 --> 00:09:06.613
Isn't texting and driving just as bad as drinking and driving?
00:09:06.813 --> 00:09:07.455
Oh, it's worse.
00:09:07.455 --> 00:09:08.705
I think it's worse.
00:09:08.705 --> 00:09:15.533
I mean I've seen people have a couple beers and be able to drive good but I can't even fucking text without hitting a tree.
00:09:17.701 --> 00:09:27.836
The students stated that they departed for the soccer game from MCA in Morgan County and that they returned to MCA after the soccer game.
00:09:27.836 --> 00:09:35.750
They played the Knights that game, but he doesn't remember the name of the school and believed it happened sometime around October.
00:09:36.701 --> 00:09:50.592
This student advised that he immediately told his mother, the parent of the student, and that she reported it to an employee and they informed her they had to tell Bruce Peters, the school principal, the next day.
00:09:50.592 --> 00:09:55.010
They believed that nothing was ever done and that it was swept under the rug.
00:09:55.010 --> 00:10:03.831
The student also advised that after a parent reporting the allegations to Bruce Peters, wessel began to call him a snitch in front of his classmates.
00:10:03.831 --> 00:10:05.854
Wow, proof that Peters spoke to Wessel began to call him a snitch in front of his classmates.
00:10:05.854 --> 00:10:06.600
Wow, proof that Peter spoke to Wessel.
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:15.234
That kind of behavior can devastate a student, creating a hostile environment and a lasting emotional harm.
00:10:15.234 --> 00:10:16.926
Calling him a snitch.
00:10:17.441 --> 00:10:24.417
Well, see, you know, Wessel ain't going to come out and say why this kid is calling him a snitch, why this kid is calling him a snitch.
00:10:24.417 --> 00:10:30.749
But if Wessel's calling this child a snitch in front of other students, in front of the class, they're obviously going to be wondering why.
00:10:30.749 --> 00:10:34.910
And you know the student knows why.
00:10:34.910 --> 00:10:39.447
So you know that when they told Peters, Peters ran back to Wessel.
00:10:39.659 --> 00:10:41.229
Yes, hey, don't say nothing.
00:10:41.229 --> 00:10:42.193
No more about it.
00:10:42.193 --> 00:10:43.220
Just leave it at that.
00:10:43.220 --> 00:10:44.645
We'll sweep it under the rug.
00:10:44.980 --> 00:10:52.192
But he couldn't keep his mouth shut, so he had to let that kid know oh look, these people are on my team.
00:10:52.192 --> 00:10:55.206
Yeah, snitch you think they got your back.
00:10:55.206 --> 00:10:56.458
No, they got my back.
00:10:56.539 --> 00:11:03.546
What a bitch-ass dude man Like he was flexing like you, little snitch, they didn't do shit to me, ha-ha.
00:11:03.546 --> 00:11:05.080
Flexing like you, little snitch, they didn't do shit to me, ha, ha.
00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:16.875
That's exactly what it was Fuck him and you know that probably intimidated the child and made him fearful, you know.
00:11:17.780 --> 00:11:21.772
And they wonder why kids don't want to say shit anymore because of shit like this right here.
00:11:21.772 --> 00:11:23.306
You can't trust a principal.
00:11:23.306 --> 00:11:25.062
You can't trust I mean damn.
00:11:27.767 --> 00:11:33.543
This student stated that he was never called into the office by Bruce Peters to talk about the allegations.
00:11:33.543 --> 00:11:40.201
The detective then interviewed the parent and here's the summary of that interview.
00:11:40.201 --> 00:11:48.836
The parent states that she and Wessel started working at MCA at the same time, in August of 2021.
00:11:48.836 --> 00:11:53.331
She advised that her child played soccer and Wessel was the coach.
00:11:53.331 --> 00:11:56.809
So she works at the Christian Academy.
00:11:56.809 --> 00:11:58.706
This parent does.
00:11:59.763 --> 00:12:01.499
I mean, damn that sucks.
00:12:01.499 --> 00:12:15.009
It makes you wonder if, like, maybe her job was threatened, like, let's keep it all hush-hush, carl Wessel, in, look, don't be showing your little bullshit to kids, don't be texting kids or whatever all that stuff.
00:12:15.009 --> 00:12:17.428
And maybe I wonder if I'm just wondering, just speculate.
00:12:19.580 --> 00:12:32.152
Probably they went and told Peters and Peters was like I'll handle it, I'll take care of it, and they felt confident in that, so that they trusted him, that he was going to handle it and that he was going to take care of it.
00:12:32.152 --> 00:12:38.121
So she just assumed, you know it's going to get taken care of.
00:12:38.121 --> 00:12:45.054
I might not know the consequences or repercussions of his actions, but Bruce Peters is going to take care of this.
00:12:45.115 --> 00:12:46.080
She trusted him, man.
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:54.428
So the student approached the parent and told her about a soccer game that she told him he couldn't go because she couldn't take him.
00:12:54.428 --> 00:13:00.818
Wessel overheard student and parent talking and that's when he offered to take him to the soccer game and parent talking and that's when he offered to take him to the soccer game.
00:13:00.818 --> 00:13:06.381
The parent stated that she thought that it would be okay since Wessel was a teacher at the school.
00:13:06.381 --> 00:13:09.224
Of course you would think that Absolutely.
00:13:09.384 --> 00:13:12.346
I mean I would think that, well, not anymore.
00:13:12.346 --> 00:13:15.227
Not with everything I've learned in the past year.
00:13:15.227 --> 00:13:17.909
I don't care if you're a lawyer, a teacher, a doctor.
00:13:17.909 --> 00:13:20.211
If I don't know you, my kid ain't going with you, sorry.
00:13:20.390 --> 00:13:22.893
Hell no, especially after Brittany Fortenberry's shit.
00:13:22.893 --> 00:13:28.352
You would have thought she was the soccer mom of the year if you didn't know our episodes and the truth.
00:13:28.352 --> 00:13:31.163
I mean, geez, y'all don't trust a motherfucker like that with my kids.
00:13:31.936 --> 00:13:35.325
So when the detective is talking to the parent.
00:13:35.325 --> 00:13:45.519
In her interview she stated that when her child returned from the game, he walked in the door and told her hey, mom Wessel showed me some porn.
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:57.844
As you could imagine, she was pissed off, livid, and that next day she reported the incident to a teacher that she assisted in the school.
00:13:57.844 --> 00:14:02.666
And that's when the teacher told them that they needed to tell Bruce Peters.
00:14:03.006 --> 00:14:05.467
I probably told Bruce Peters to meet me on the soccer field.
00:14:05.467 --> 00:14:10.429
I wanted him to show me some soccer moves, not to beat his ass for showing my kid porn.
00:14:10.789 --> 00:14:11.509
You mean Wessel?
00:14:11.890 --> 00:14:14.572
Yeah, Shit, actually I meant Wessel and Peters.
00:14:14.912 --> 00:14:18.192
Yes, because we know that they were both aware of this behavior.
00:14:18.815 --> 00:14:31.715
Yeah, it's a harrowing tale, julie, and it's shocking that it took from August 14, 2025, for Wessel to be arrested, after the second set of charges were filed on July 16, 2025.
00:14:31.715 --> 00:14:38.365
He'd been on the run for months and the school's inaction is infuriating.
00:14:38.365 --> 00:14:42.245
Was this the dude that was held up in the house in Indianapolis?
00:14:43.235 --> 00:14:44.480
Yeah, we talk about that later.
00:14:44.740 --> 00:14:49.875
Okay, my bad, but here are some more red flags waved by parents that were ignored.
00:14:49.875 --> 00:14:58.062
Let's look at an email from a concerned parent, but it ties back to 2022 email thread between concerned parents and MCA leadership.
00:14:58.062 --> 00:15:07.630
Concerned parents and MCA leadership Parents were sounding alarms about Wessel's creepy vibes, but the school shut them down hard, calling it hearsay and gossip.
00:15:07.630 --> 00:15:15.995
To bring this alive, we'll do a reading.
00:15:15.995 --> 00:15:19.761
Julie, you take the school's deflections from Bruce Peters and the school board and I'll handle the parents' escalating concerns.
00:15:19.782 --> 00:15:25.070
Got it and remember these emails are from September 2022, years before the arrest.
00:15:25.070 --> 00:15:31.427
The parents were documenting everything after a board meeting, but MCA twisted it all to protect their guy.
00:15:32.296 --> 00:15:33.256
Dear Mr Wright.
00:15:33.256 --> 00:15:42.293
Upon seeking legal counsel, we're sending this email to document concerns shared in our recent board meeting on September 27, 2022.
00:15:42.293 --> 00:15:50.616
After more thought and prayer, we feel the numerous concerns we've raised regarding Mr Wessel have been inadequately addressed.
00:15:50.616 --> 00:16:04.721
We also have concerns that our children continue to have regular contact with Mr Wessel as the only adult in the classroom, despite being led to believe efforts have been made to eliminate independent supervision of children.
00:16:04.721 --> 00:16:20.159
In November of 2021, parents communicated that their children reported that Mr Wessel was allegedly showing inappropriate videos in class, allowing children to watch inappropriate videos in the classroom and using bad language.
00:16:20.941 --> 00:16:32.644
This alleged incident was investigated and was not found to be as inappropriate as the allegation above infers.
00:16:32.644 --> 00:16:43.426
Mr Wessel received coaching on proper classroom management and that was the response to that allegation from Peters and the school board.
00:16:43.774 --> 00:16:46.581
Hmm, I'd have been shitty Back to it.
00:16:46.581 --> 00:16:48.524
This is the parent's position.
00:16:48.524 --> 00:16:56.154
In April 2022, a parent witnessed an inappropriate interaction with Mr Wessel and a female child in the hallway.
00:16:56.154 --> 00:17:01.346
The parent reported that the child was clearly uncomfortable with this interaction.
00:17:01.366 --> 00:17:04.314
The parent reported that the child was clearly uncomfortable with this interaction.
00:17:04.314 --> 00:17:07.805
An MCA in Peter's response was this alleged incident was investigated.
00:17:07.805 --> 00:17:13.287
Video evidence exists and clearly refutes this allegation.
00:17:13.287 --> 00:17:29.746
Both the video evidence and a follow-up discussion with the student involved in this interaction confirmed that Mr Wessel was simply reminding the student of MCA's cell phone policy for students.
00:17:30.487 --> 00:17:41.209
Then the parent said in April of 2022, a student reported to their parent that they had witnessed a female classmate sitting on Mr Wessel's lap during technology class.
00:17:41.209 --> 00:17:45.394
The parent then made a report to Mr Peters.
00:17:46.096 --> 00:17:47.038
And Mr Peters.
00:17:47.038 --> 00:17:52.669
His response was this alleged incident was investigated.
00:17:52.669 --> 00:17:58.667
None of the female students that were allegedly involved in this allegation state that this happened.
00:17:58.667 --> 00:18:01.597
Dcs would agree with this statement.
00:18:01.597 --> 00:18:03.681
State that this happened, dcs would agree with this statement.
00:18:03.681 --> 00:18:09.208
So right there, he's inferring that he called DCS to come and investigate bullshit.
00:18:09.228 --> 00:18:09.669
He never called DCS.
00:18:09.669 --> 00:18:11.290
He said, would they would.
00:18:12.237 --> 00:18:14.594
Because his word playing is what he's doing His word playing.
00:18:15.296 --> 00:18:19.244
And a 13-year-old girl at this time sitting on a dude's lap in technology class.
00:18:19.244 --> 00:18:20.347
What was he doing?
00:18:20.347 --> 00:18:21.479
Trying to teach her how to type.
00:18:21.479 --> 00:18:22.963
I mean, come on, that's fucking weird.
00:18:22.963 --> 00:18:36.707
Then, in September of 2022, a female child reported to a parent she carpools with that two of her female friends told her that they allegedly sat on Mr Wessel's lap too.
00:18:37.256 --> 00:18:43.875
So that's another allegation of a child sitting on his lap from different parties.
00:18:44.297 --> 00:18:47.550
I wonder if DCS would not agree with that either Would?
00:18:47.996 --> 00:18:53.807
Well, here was MCA and Peters's response to this allegation.
00:18:53.807 --> 00:19:04.737
Mca administration and board.
00:19:04.737 --> 00:19:07.583
This appears to be a continuation of harmful hearsay and gossip stemming from the original allegation.
00:19:07.583 --> 00:19:18.924
Unfortunately, this behavior appears to be reinforced by adults whose words and actions are creating unfounded fear amongst some of our parents.
00:19:18.924 --> 00:19:33.268
This was investigated by MCA with a follow-up review by the Indiana Department of Child Services, who has also not found any evidence to support this allegation.
00:19:33.268 --> 00:19:35.722
Yeah, they didn't find no evidence because you didn't call them, You'll lie.
00:19:37.214 --> 00:19:38.862
All these kids ain't lying man.
00:19:38.862 --> 00:20:03.579
Come on no-transcript job to play detective.
00:20:03.579 --> 00:20:05.465
That's for the police and DCS.
00:20:05.465 --> 00:20:06.769
And here's the kicker.
00:20:06.769 --> 00:20:16.617
A concerned parent laid out all these allegations in one email with the school's responses attached, and here's another email from the parent's position.
00:20:16.617 --> 00:20:23.609
Since the board meeting in September, additional information has come to light that has elevated our concerns.
00:20:23.609 --> 00:20:41.548
Mr Wessel has allegedly shared pornographic, sexually explicit, depraved videos with own members, minor members of his family, who subsequently shared those videos as amusing antidotes with a peer's parents while on vacation.
00:20:41.548 --> 00:20:44.865
This is alleged incident was investigated.
00:20:44.865 --> 00:20:50.428
Mr Wright and Mr Peters called the parent who allegedly shared this information.
00:20:50.855 --> 00:20:55.247
Now this is MCA and Peters' response to that allegation.
00:20:55.247 --> 00:21:03.477
During this discussion the parents stated that the details alleged above are not an accurate account of what occurred.
00:21:03.477 --> 00:21:14.999
They stated that two videos were briefly referenced in a conversation and their response was to shut down the discussion before it could progress.
00:21:14.999 --> 00:21:20.786
They assumed the videos being referenced might be pornographic in nature.
00:21:20.786 --> 00:21:37.986
So the allegation that Mr Wessel's minor family member shared the videos described above in the manner described above has not been backed up by the adults in attendance when the incident allegedly occurred.
00:21:38.476 --> 00:21:42.265
This response reeks of twisting words and gaslighting.
00:21:42.645 --> 00:21:57.845
We can infer the kid was shown these videos because he's talking about it with adults, so much so that they know it's wrong and shut it down quickly, as they should have, redirecting the conversation, basically admitting, yeah, he was going to show them, but the adult stopped it.
00:21:58.365 --> 00:22:09.285
And then, furthermore, mr Wessel's family member did not state that Wessel shares pornographic or explicit videos with him, and there is no evidence available to support this claim.
00:22:09.285 --> 00:22:21.987
Of course, this kid is not going to rat out his family member when he could be called a snitch too, probably when he could lose his job and he was probably under some intimidation or fear tactics to be kept quiet.
00:22:21.987 --> 00:22:40.682
Peters goes on further to state that no evidence has been found to support this malice allegation, which appears to be an attempt to not only smear the MCA staff member, but also his family member and an MCA student.
00:22:40.682 --> 00:22:52.205
So here we yet again have Bruce Peters gaslighting the concerned parents and making them out to be the bad ones, claiming their salacious allegations.
00:22:52.205 --> 00:22:57.182
Damn, I never heard that shit before my bad, harm Wessel and the student.
00:22:57.496 --> 00:22:58.961
What do you think's really going on here?
00:22:58.961 --> 00:23:08.665
I mean, I would think maybe if it was one allegation maybe it's hard for me to say too maybe one and a half allegations.
00:23:08.665 --> 00:23:13.405
I mean, maybe Mr Peters was like trying to save face.
00:23:13.405 --> 00:23:19.728
I mean, I'm just saying, though maybe he would try to save face for the school Hush, hush, it's a Christian school.
00:23:19.728 --> 00:23:22.625
I mean, it's probably that's a private school.
00:23:22.625 --> 00:23:31.701
I'm just saying, if there was only one or one and a half allegations maybe, but all these allegations he's swept under the rug.
00:23:31.781 --> 00:23:32.303
There's something more.
00:23:32.303 --> 00:23:33.787
I'm getting a deeper, a deeper.
00:23:33.787 --> 00:23:36.214
There's something I feel like there's something deeper going on.
00:23:36.275 --> 00:23:38.242
I bet these dudes are watching porn together.
00:23:41.817 --> 00:23:42.480
Oh my God.
00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:46.525
Now the concerned parent wrapped it up like this.
00:23:46.525 --> 00:23:54.079
We care deeply about the future of this school and we wish to continue to partner with MCA in our children's education.
00:00:06.003 --> 00:00:46.966
00:00:46.966 --> 00:00:49.085
00:00:49.085 --> 00:00:54.332
00:00:54.332 --> 00:00:58.331
00:00:58.331 --> 00:01:00.948
00:01:00.948 --> 00:01:07.087
00:01:07.087 --> 00:01:07.567
00:01:07.567 --> 00:01:11.867
00:01:11.867 --> 00:01:12.808
00:01:12.828 --> 00:01:14.271
00:01:14.731 --> 00:01:15.861
00:01:15.861 --> 00:01:20.150
00:01:20.150 --> 00:01:32.234
00:01:32.234 --> 00:01:33.176
00:01:33.176 --> 00:01:34.686
00:01:34.686 --> 00:01:34.966
00:01:34.966 --> 00:01:42.674
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:45.450
00:01:45.450 --> 00:01:49.710
00:01:49.710 --> 00:01:52.709
00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:54.786
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:00.828
00:02:00.828 --> 00:02:04.974
00:02:04.974 --> 00:02:05.935
00:02:05.935 --> 00:02:12.048
00:02:12.048 --> 00:02:19.680
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:27.593
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:53.074
00:02:53.074 --> 00:03:10.230
00:03:10.230 --> 00:03:17.354
00:03:17.354 --> 00:03:20.340
00:03:20.340 --> 00:03:30.687
00:03:31.408 --> 00:03:38.002
00:03:38.002 --> 00:03:50.528
00:03:50.528 --> 00:03:55.931
00:03:55.931 --> 00:04:03.373
00:04:03.373 --> 00:04:15.871
00:04:16.540 --> 00:04:17.141
00:04:17.141 --> 00:04:21.552
00:04:21.552 --> 00:04:26.112
00:04:26.112 --> 00:04:38.553
00:04:38.553 --> 00:04:47.095
00:04:47.095 --> 00:04:55.175
00:04:55.778 --> 00:05:07.262
00:05:07.262 --> 00:05:11.833
00:05:11.833 --> 00:05:22.127
00:05:22.127 --> 00:05:27.903
00:05:27.903 --> 00:05:29.949
00:05:29.949 --> 00:05:30.954
00:05:31.233 --> 00:05:40.863
00:05:40.863 --> 00:05:45.434
00:05:45.434 --> 00:05:47.869
