Embezzling – A performing arts school in the Midwest was forced to close its doors following over $90,000 in thefts by a volunteer, from acts including bad check writing, forgery, grand theft, and money laundering. The volunteer had served time in prison twice before in two adjacent states for money-related convictions and also had three prior convictions within his current state of residence, before he was given access to money by the school.

Assault - A girl’s basketball coach in the Pacific Northwest was arrested for felony sexual molestation of a child in his program. The coach had a misdemeanor conviction less than six years prior to his most recent arrest.
