Ex-coach charged with raping boy

Boston Herald ^

[bikepacker67]

A former Malden wrestling coach who called his students ``disciples in training'' and instructed them to perform sexual acts to be a part of his team is facing charges of raping one of his students and more victims are likely to come forward, according to authorities.

Prosecutor Michelle Margolis said Everett Bower, 32, asked his wrestlers to perform sex acts as the culmination of their four-step indoctrination into his ``family.''

Bower has coached boys wrestling at Savio Prep High School in East Boston, Malden High and Malden Catholic, though he's currently unemployed. Margolis described in court how he would instruct his young charges to tell him a secret and show him some act of devotion before performing a sex act in order to be initiated into the club.

She said she expects more victims to surface now that one 17-year-old Malden boy has told police about the alleged abuse that began when he was studying judo with Bower at age 8.

The abuse allegedly began with Bower touching the boy's genitals, giving him alcohol on out-of-state trips to judo tournaments and ``huddling'' naked with him, Margolis said.

When the boy resisted, ``He would then hold him, kiss him, hug him and tell him, `You know I love you,' '' Margolis said.

The teen, who wrestled under Bower at Malden High, came to police after Bower allegedly invited him into a bedroom at his Medford home recently and used a sex toy on him before placing it on himself, court papers said.

The teen told police Bower has used the sex toy on him since he was 14. On other occasions, Bower would invite the boy to watch pornographic videos and masturbate with other teens at his home, prosecutors said.

Bower has also allegedly disciplined the boy by hitting him with a wooden paddle and a physics book until his buttocks bled and one time pinning him down in a shower and shaving his genitals with the help of another student, Margolis said.

At Savio Prep, where Bower last coached wrestling and taught chemistry, former students said Bower was known as a ``pervert'' who ``taught punishments,'' gave students extra credit for doing push-ups against the wall and would frequently grab his crotch during class. They also said he would boast about showering with student wrestlers. Bower's family posted $1,500 bail.

Not a physics book, now that's just sick...

[cweese]

He should be locked up with Michael Jackson.

[livius]

$1,500?

[MineralMan]

Hmm...wrestling coaches...girls P.E. coaches...what's the deal?

[mike182d]

Stupid wrestling coaches and their vow of celibacy... /sarcasm

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The guy should have become a Jesuit.

[Congressman Billybob]

This is a private/parochial school teacher involved in sex with his (or her students). But it is the exception which proves the rule. Note that almost all of the sex abuse by teachers cases involve public school teachers.

I have not done research on this, just read the news accounts of the various arrests and charges. Still, it seems clear that such cases are more common in the public schools than in the private/parochial schools. Could this be in part a consequence of the National "Edukashun" Association's support for "alternative life styles"?

Yet another case of Cohen-Tannoudji Quantum perversion.

Why did this guy get bail?

Gee, I wonder if the school taught these children to tolerate everyone's sexual orientation. THERE ARE CREEPS OUT THERE TARGETING CHILDREN!!! The last thing they need to do is ask kids to tolerate everyone's sexual orientation.

[Semper Paratus]

Let him try to coach a wrestling team in prison.

[newgeezer]

Ping. Be sure to read the replies.

[mlc9852]

$1500 bail? That's it? Did I miss something?

[dcnd9]

A sick man.

[tumblindice]

$1,500 bail (!) For raping ten boys.
Good thing he didn't commit a serious crime--like blurt out that boy rasslers tend to be a bit stronger than the girls. Now that would be serious, prob. a hate crime.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Wrestling coach at a Catholic high school - maybe he should have become a priest? /sarcasm

[SeeRushToldU_So]

I miss out on a lot of jokes.

Anyone notice how the media always report them as ex-coach, ex-teacher, etc.? They did not become ex-anything until after they were caught.

WTF?

[q_an_a]

does anyone in the media ever use the word homsexual to describe rape of a boy?

[msnimje]

Bring back the Guillotine!!

For the little head!!

[Born Conservative]

[ArrogantBustard]

There's Malden Catholic High School, and Malden High School ... two different institutions: one private, one government. This pervert was apparently employed at both, at different times. Savio Prep is probably Catholic (named for St. Dominic Savio).

[proud_2_B_texasgal]

the word homsexual to describe rape of a boy?

Why, No, they don't because THAT would be a prejudice statement ya know.

[frogjerk]

He learned from Michael Jackson well...

[7.62 x 51mm]

Get a rope. The subhuman, deviant homo filth doesn't deserve anything more.

[callthemlikeyouseethem]

my thoughts exactly! $1,500????

[razorback-bert]

Hey , he is just a teacher and you know they don't make any money.

$1500 is probably a whole year's salary.

[BJClinton]

Mike just beat ya!

He should be locked up with Michael Jackson.

But they might both enjoy that...better still stick nice big signs over their cell doors saying 'child molester' then have the guards called away to the other end of the wing for a couple of hours.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

the word homosexual to describe rape of a boy?

Why, No, they don't because THAT would be a prejudicial statement, ya know.

If some boys were terrified of a male pervert, THAT would be genuine homophobia. Pass it on.

[kitkat]

Just can't resist a chance to put down the Catholic church, huh? Or are you against ALL Christians? Your remark was uncalled for.

[q_an_a]

this is a sick siutation and it gets worse because the media leaves out the facts and then condems the people, like Scouts, that try to protect otehrs from these sick people.

No, I was taught by Jebbies.

[kenth]

He's not a homosexual. He was a wrestling coach. The headline even says so.

[Clemenza]

I was also educated by the Jebbies. Let's just say that many (though not all) of them should have been wearing Lavandar Cassocks.

Hey Kitkat, how can you tell who the gays are at the St. Pat's parade?

A: They're the ones wearing collars.

Note that almost all of the sex abuse by teachers cases involve public school teachers...it seems... such cases are more common in the public schools than in the private/parochial schools.

Given the numerous, enormous wealth transfers in lieu of capital punishment occurring in priest pedophilia cases, the whole truth may be that any unpublicized private school cases are successful (and unknown to the public) extortion or blackmail attempts, whether the "payoff" is financial, subtle curricular propagandizing or the hiring/retaining of perpetrators....

I am convinced that the Catholic Church has been massively, deliberately infiltrated with pedophile activists posing as priests for these very purposes.

All the above argues for more parental involvement on textbook selection committees, parental classroom volunteering, citizen school board meeting attendance and vouchers.

[sharktrager]

What exactly is this bizarre connection with perverse sexual behavior and wrestling teams?

Why in the hell would bail be allowed at all? This is just
ridiculous. Go to jail,go directly to jail,do not pass go,do not get bail.Period.
What the SOB should get is executed.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

The term 'homosexual' itself, while Biblical, has been used so much of late in a deliberately wrong manner--that I try to use terms that makes more emphatic the perversion such behavior constitutes.

Ditto the lie "gay" as that lifestyle is anything but gay.

Excellent definition though, thanks for the clarification....

Read a good book exactly about that Goodbye, Good Men by Michael S. Rose

I need to get out of Homochusetts before I go nuts.

You got that right, we had one even when we were overseas. p.s. good joke.

I was raised Catholic and although I'm lapsed, my still Ma goes to church every day when her health permits it, she's disgusted by the whole homo priest thing.
