The Varga Files
This is the untold story of the victims of Steve Varga, convicted serial pedophile who taught at Flaherty Elementary School in Meade County, Kentucky.
The story begins with the news articles from 1988-89, but this true story now spans fifty years.
The pages that follow contain NSFW first-person accounts of the sexual abuse as described by the victims themselves.
Reading, you may be disturbed by the victims' horrifying stories.
Reasoning, you may point fingers, at other teachers, at a principal, at a community.
Reflecting, you may be moved to action. Like the victims, you may want more answers to questions raised.
Were there 4 victims of sexual abuse at the hands of Steve Varga? Or, were there dozens upon dozens of victims?
You might ask, "How did this serial sexual abuser fool a school, a community, an entire county?"
You may ask, "Who else knew the truth yet remained silent?"
You must ask, "Should Principal Don Hawkins have been prosecuted for failure to report this abuse?"
You should ask, "What happened to the 3-ring-binder with letters from people pleading for someone to do something about Steve Varga?"
I hope you don't have to wait another thirty years to get your answers.
