If he'd do it to them -- knowing all the resources they had to fight back -- it wasn't his first time. I'm actually surprised they haven't found a lot more cases like this -- but probably they're not looking.

Thank goodness one or two of those students' parents had the millions they needed to fight like hell, and they got at least one bad prosecutor disbarred.
