She spoke up only after a co-worker filed the first of five sexual harassment complaints against Foresteire with the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination on Nov. 21, 2018. Monday marks the four-year anniversary of that filing, which opened the floodgates of a scandal that was just as quickly contained.
The School Committee placed Foresteire on paid leave and commissioned a $50,000 independent investigation whose contents remain secret today. The school district settled sexual harassment complaints with three former employees, who were bound to confidentiality. Middlesex County prosecutors charged Foresteire with six counts of indecent assault and battery and one count of assault and battery, but he has yet to face trial and the case against him remains shrouded in secrecy.
