In 1997, West Virginia fifth-grade student Jeremy Bell died of what was believed to be a head injury while on a camping trip with the principal of his school, Edgar Friedrichs Jr. Nearly eight years later, investigators determined it was not a head injury. Bell had been sexually abused and killed by his principal, according to state criminal records and documents filed in a subsequent?federal lawsuit. Probing deeper, officials realized Friedrichs had?been dismissed by a Pennsylvania school for sexual misconduct allegations years earlier, but the school?helped him get his job in West Virginia.
