Teacher Mark Boster Caught Soliciting Young Boys on Internet…and Worse

by

Mark_Boster.jpgIn Ohio, Mark Boster, 46, was charged with unlawful sexual conduct with a minor and importuning. A detective who logged onto a chat room posing as a child was solicited by Boster for oral sex. Your run-of-the-mill internet predator, right? WRONG!

Boster was a Columbus Public Schools teacher and a neglectful foster parent to five boys.

According to Boster’s school personnel file:

  • In 1991, a letter referenced alleged inappropriate physical intervention between Boster and a student.
  • In 2003, a teacher reported that Boster allegedly punished a boy by forcing him under his desk while he sat down.
  • The principal of Avondale Elementary School reported Boster was seen going into the restroom to watch boys urinate in 2003.
  • The principal also reported that Boster was investigated by Franklin County Children Services - and cleared - after grabbing a boy’s breast and twisting his nipple in 2001.
  • In 2003, a teacher witnessed Boster inappropriately touching a student by putting the young man’s knees between his knees and then rubbing his legs and upper thigh.
  • Another teacher reported that he had male students sit on his lap.
  • This guy was a monster in the classroom, at home with his foster kids, and then on the internet. What was the Ohio Department of Education thinking when they allowed Boster to stay in the classroom as long as he received counseling on appropriate behavior with students? Why didn’t they fire him?

    Thank god detectives finally caught Boster being bad online.

      Thats disgusting! He even LOOKS like a monster! I’m amazed he was allowed to stay around children long enough to commit that many offenses! Punching children? Twisting children’s nipples? WTF???
