Michigan Vice Principal Arrested on Child Seduction Charges: Examining the Law and Public Response
Scott Liggett, the vice principal of Mars Elementary School, was arrested in St. Joseph County, Indiana, on charges of child seduction involving his adopted daughter. The alleged grooming began in 2015 when Liggett was an academic dean at Mary Daly Elementary School in Elkhart, Indiana, and continued through the victim’s foster care and eventual adoption by the Liggett family. The victim, now 17, reported sexual assault earlier this year. Parents in all districts where Liggett worked have been notified, with one parent expressing shock at discovering Liggett’s true identity, which differed from the name used on the school website.
