Family Says School Passed Along a Predator

...

They claim Fischer never checked any text messages between their daughter and Pricer, failed to investigate further, and did not report Pricer to the authorities, allowing the relationship to continue.

"After March 23, 2011, with the information in hand that Pricer was pursuing Doe, Fischer and other school officials failed to issue any oral or written warnings to Doe's other teachers about the dangerous relationship," the complaint states. "Pricer easily violated Fischer's directives about being alone with Doe by sending notes to Doe's other teachers to release Doe to the choir room. Amazingly, Doe's other teachers would release Doe to the choir room without a single question or thought. Doe's teachers knew there was something going on because Doe would return from Pricer's room or the counselor's office in tears. This continued for months.

"Under the 'protection' of Denton ISD's lack of oversight, Pricer began escalating his physical contact with Doe by sexually groping Doe on school grounds and in other public locations (like Eureka Park, McKenna Park, or other locations around the school). In furtherance of his grooming techniques, Pricer broke down whatever resolve Doe had left by telling Doe that he 'was separating from his wife,' 'this was meant to be,' and 'we are destined to be with one another.'

...

The family claims that Pricer continued his relationship with their daughter after she graduated. They say school officials verified rumors that Pricer's car was parked outside the Mason house frequently, but took no steps to report him to the authorities or inform her parents.

After Pricer resigned in September 2011, the district "allowed Pricer to quietly proceed to the Irving Independent School District to continue his predatory practices on other unsuspecting children," the complaint states.
