GROOMER ALERT: Prof. Who Slept With 17 Year Old Student On UW Campus Is Now On Staff At North Idaho College — Report Says Prof “Unrepentant” For Conduct — Using Fake Name At NIC
North Idaho College is putting our children at RISK, and all the liberals care about is “accreditation.”
(Coeur d’Alene, Idaho) — Amidst the turmoil and angst at our local community college, a professor who was fired from the University of Washington (UW) in 2020, after being credibly accused of grooming and sleeping with a 17 year old student, has recently gained employment at North Idaho College.
Professor John D. Sahr had his tenure revoked and was fired from UW in 2020 after an investigation found that “he exploited his position to have ‘inappropriate sexual contact’ with a 17-year-old student” while serving as the director of the Robinson Center for Young Scholars.
According to the Seattle Times, investigators “found that Sahr had a relationship with a student that violated policy against conflicts of interest.” Although the student was under the age of 18, he was not charged with statutory rape because the age of consent in Washington is 16 years old.
University of Washington spokesperson Victor Balta released a statement at the time of Sahr’s firing in 2020 saying “The safety of our community is the UW’s highest priority, and this type of conduct cannot be tolerated.”
Now, a representative from North Idaho College has confirmed that Sahr has secured employment at our community College here in Coeur d’Alene, after the Idaho Tribune provided the Board of Trustees and President Swayne with documentation from the University of Washington.
A statement was sent to the Idaho Tribune on behalf of NIC President Nick Swayne saying:
President Swayne asked that I respond to you on his behalf.
The college can confirm that John Sahr is employed at North Idaho College. He serves in an adjunct instructor role, hired in January 2023 for this spring semester.
The hiring process for all faculty positions includes a background check process. I confirmed with Human Resources that the college’s background check process was followed while hiring Mr. Sahr.
The Idaho Tribune is awaiting a records request relating to the hiring process that Professor Sahr underwent, but it is clear that this “background check process” is wholly inadequate. ONE simple Google search revealed not only several articles about Sahr’s inappropriate conduct, but also surfaced the Provost’s Report, Conducted by the University of Washington in late 2019, which includes Sahr’s text messages with his (at the time) 17 year old student-victim.
Sahr was the student’s PH.D Advisor, and the chairman of her dissertation committee.
According to the report, Sahr’s text messages say:
JS: *sigh* How old are you? 45? 55? Something like that? You're a bit of a quandary, frankly. Are you familiar with the concept of "grooming"? Where an older villanous male utters the right words to coax a sweet young thing into his bed?
JS: So, if I sent you a note, [REDACTED NAME] ... I could use a big hug sometime, or maybe a righteous fuck, watch the movie 'Secretary' with you, and then tie you up, and cuddle for hours ... " You'd take me seriously, and work me into your life, in a way that works for you ...
After “grooming” his 17 year old student, Sahr invited his student “to his home on an evening when his wife and son” were “out of town” and that is when he initiated “sexual contact.”
That review concluded that professor Sahr was unrepentant about his actions, “falsely minimizing his culpability.”
The report also says that Sahr had inappropriate sexual contact with a University Employee.
The most disturbing factor of this whole thing, besides the fact that he was somehow let back into academia, despite his prominent and easialy found article on the Academic Sexual Misconduct Database, is that when you look up the syllabus page for the class that Sahr teaches, his name is (deliberately?) mis-spelled as Johan instead of John.
Was this done in an effort to hide his employment at NIC? Is there any good reason for this?
North Idaho College has had its fair share of sex scandals already. Like that time in 2018 when Jon A. Downing, the faculty advisor of the NIC Gender and Sexuality Alliance, formerly known as the NIC Gay-Straight Alliance (which recently hosted a satanic drag show on campus), was found to have folders filled with photos of naked young men including a former student that he allegedly recorded with a hidden bathroom camera.
The CDA Press (when they still did real news from time-to-time) said “A former North Idaho College instructor and gay rights activist was sentenced Friday to 90 days in the local jail after pleading guilty to one felony count of video voyeurism.” [Emphasis Added.]
Then there was the time that an NIC Director named Joseph M. Bekken was caught up in a “financial aid-for-sex scheme.”
According to the Spokesman “Bekken said he used Craigslist to find others – mostly men – for casual sexual encounters when he worked at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. Bekken said a few semesters ago he got the idea to offer scholarship money for sex and posted his offer to NIC students in the “casual encounters” section of Craigslist, according to a police report.”
Geez… That sounds familiar. Again!
Idaho, and all of America for that matter, is in the midst of a grooming epidemic, and so-called “LGBT Rights” serves as the basis for the corporate media to cover it up. These groomers rely on activists in the media who ALL look the other way on this issue, and have allowed our schools, libraries, and colleges to become sex-playgrounds for pedophiles and perverts.
We made North Idaho College President Nick Swayne aware of this situation on Tuesday, and we released information on this story on our telegram channel on Wednesday. Neither President Swayne, nor the local media, have made a single public statement, or taken any positive actions to correct this serious problem.
President Swayne and North Idaho College have not made any public attempt to explain why a former professor who had his tenure revoked and was unceremoniously fired due to inappropriate sexual behavior with a student, would be not only allowed to work with students on NIC’s campus, but why the College appears to be sheltering him from public scrutiny.
With leadership that appears to enable groomers, I definitely wouldn’t allow my kids anywhere near that school. And Sahr isn’t the only professor on campus that the community and the administration should be worried about. If only there were some Conservative trustees trying to do something about this… Oh, wait…
It’s starting to make sense now.
