CPS Employed Admitted Serial Pedophile: Report

CHICAGO — A serial pedophile's employment in Chicago Public Schools has remained "largely hidden," according to a report. At one point, CPS even denied the man ever worked for the district, the Chicago Tribune reported.

Thomas Hacker, who died in prison in June at 81, sexually abused hundreds of children in Illinois and Indiana as a Catholic church employee, a scout leader and a park district employee, according to the report.

Hacker was then hired by CPS in 1970, and remained in his position for ten years, despite being convicted of sexually abusing boys twice during his time there, the Tribune reported.
