To all you liberal Foxboro fools, look at what the sicko did in Jail, lucky he didnt get to act out his fantasy on any innocent kids.
THEY SHOULD INVESTIGATE HIS DAUGHTER WHOS NOW ABOUT 18 AND SEE IF DADDY EVER TOUCHED HER. “FAMILY RAPE” ….. I HOPE HE DIES
Hah, after his initial conviction while he was my teacher I thought he was a little twisted but the man didn’t harm anyone in school and seemed like a decent man and he just got screwed for something he did on his own time. But.. after getting caught distributing drawings of children being abused and producing writings also? You serious? That’s (Expletive deleted by site moderator) up. He ruined his life already and is making it even worse, good luck to you Mr. Woodward… (Expletive deleted by site moderator).

****SICK PUPPY ALERT****
this wack job only got 6 years even after he was found distributing hand-drawn kiddie-porn to other inmates? Let’s not get to his morbid tales, complete with illustration. Does society really accept this? Or do you agree with me and say this man should never see the light of day?
i had him twice… was not at all surprised when i heard he likes kiddy porn. he was creepy and ppl liked him because you didnt have to show up to class to get an A. im sorry he has to suffer with this problem and i dont know how much good jail will do him, hell probably just end up being someones love slave. but thats where my sympathy ends
I grew up with Greg Woodward. He’s two years my senior and was one of my brothers best friends. I knew him in and around my circle of friends all through my teenage years. He was an excellent friend. He’s a kind and giving and caring person. Take no joy in this people. This is a good man with a horrible problem. Sometimes people are just troubled. I’ve talked to a bunch of the old gang, and nobody can remember anything Gregg ever did that led anyone to think he had troubles. I know there are victims and I don’t want to disrespect them but in this case I think the victims are on both sides of the aisle.
I too am a former student of Gregg Woodward. He was a great teacher, and even after a half year has gone by, I’m still kindof shocked and saddened. I hope he gets better, because he is obviously suffering from a terrible sickness.
Thats my teacher.
He is still respected as one of the best scholars at FHS. However, his actions are more than sick and disturbing, but students miss him greatly.
