A preliminary hearing was held today for Gregory Ritter at which a 14-year-old boy testified that he and Ritter engaged in lewd acts in October when the boy stayed at Ritter’s home. The boy told that court that Ritter showed him photos of shirtless teens that Ritter had taken. The boy also said that Ritter showed him graphic images of Russian boys and that they then performed sex acts on each other.

    You know being abused is one thing but when it is a homosexual thing there needs to extra charges. This victim is going to have a long road to over come this.

    Although i dont approve of what he did and what happened, I know Mr. Ritter is good at heart and just made a dumb mistake. he is the greatest teacher I’ve ever had and he is completely and utterly my hero, and that will never change, no matter what he’s done. Thats the impact Ritter had on my life. He’s a genius. His judgement just failed him, i believe. Ritter is a hero to hundreds and hundreds of Monagacci students, and i believe that his impact on their lives wont change their views on him. He’ll always be good in our eyes.
