Mr. Richard Jones Laurelwood Elementary School in Sunnyvale, California

This teacher will be arriving to the Santa Clara County authorites by the end of the week to face charges for sexual acts. He taught at Laurelwood up to the year 1975 and was fired, he also taught at Patrick Henry Jr. High and was fired after 6 months. I believe there are other schools that he taught at, but I am not sure of the names. If you know anyone who had him as a teacher you might want to make them aware that he is facing many charges and if they would like to come forward with their own stories of sexual abuse please do. At least he is off the streets after all these years.

I am a former Laurelwood student. Yeah, I know this guy! He never did anything to me but I am aware of stories about him that show he is a pervert. It took this long to get him out of circulation? I left 6th grade in 1974.

Sad but true.

How is this true. I've done numerous searches and have come up with nothing. Please stop spreading rumors! If you have a true claim, then post your sources that can be verified. I'm afraid I need proof to believe anything posted on the Internet!

This man in the article is not the Mr. Jones that taught me the sixth grade at Laurelwood. I had him his first year of teaching. I was in the 6th grade like in 1969 or 1970. The article about this awful story says that he is 49yrs. It can't be because I'm 53yrs. Do the math. Also he does not resemble my teacher Mr. Jones.
