Victims Of Sexual Abuse By Joseph Weller Elementary School Teacher Craig Allen Harward May Be Eligible for Justice and Potential Compensation
Craig Allen Harward, 54, currently detained in Santa Clara County Jail for allegedly molesting a 10-year-old neighborhood boy, is now suspected of victimizing four additional children.
Milpitas Police Cmdr. Dennis Graham revealed that charges related to these new cases still need to be formally filed.
Three identified victims were students at Joseph Weller Elementary School in Milpitas, where Harward had been a teacher for six years.
The victims, comprising four boys and one girl, range in age from 7 to 13.
Two of these victims, including the initial neighbor boy, were not enrolled at Weller Elementary but knew Harward through their association with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Milpitas First Ward, in Fremont, where he held a position as a member and secretary to the bishop.
Cmdr. Graham mentioned that most of the alleged incidents occurred within Harward's classroom at the school, often discreetly, even in the presence of other students.
Marlin Foxworth, superintendent of the Milpitas Unified School District, noted that the district had sent letters to parents informing them of the situation and offering support, such as counseling services upon request.
Foxworth mentioned that, like all new teachers, Harward underwent fingerprinting and a background check during his hiring process.
The police investigation began when the parents of the 10-year-old victim reached out to authorities on July 30, reporting inappropriate touching incidents over about six weeks.
Allegations include Harward fondling the boy's genitals and exposing himself, with incidents occurring by a pool in the housing complex and at Harward's residence, where he lived with his wife.
The day after the parents ' report, Harward turned himself into the police station with his church bishop by his side.
Harward was charged with two counts of lewd and lascivious behavior with a child under 14, which carry the potential for a life sentence.
