In 1999 the Pittsburg Post-Gazette Published a three-part series called "Dirty Secrets, why sexually abusive teachers aren't stopped." The Post-Gazette examined 727 cases across the U.S. where an educator lost his/her license for sex offenses for a five-year period. Four years after the Education Week Report, 3 years after the Pittsburg Post-Gazette series there is still no national recognition of the problem.
