Posted by Webmaster in Delaware, High Schools, ME-FV, School Staff, Substitute Teachers(06/04/09 – Initial BadBadTeacher.com Report)
John George Rainis, 24, an athletic trainer and a full time substitute teacher at Sussex Central High School in Georgetown, Delaware has reportedly been arrested on allegations of inappropriately touching a female student.
Rainis was arrested at the school on Wednesday, one day after the arrest of John O. Thompson, a teacher at the school, on allegations of having a sexual relationship with another student.
Rainis is reportedly charged with sexual extortion and third-degree unlawful sexual contact.
It is alleged that while the female student was receiving treatment for an athletic injury, Rainis touched her inappropriately. It is further alleged that when the girl attempted to stop his advances Rainis reminded her that he was the only one who could clear her to participate in her sport.
Investigators say that they believe that the improper touching occurred on multiple occasions during March.
Following his arraignment on the charges, Rainis was reportedly being held in lieu of $7,000 cash bail.

Also does anyone know if his case docket is online? I don’t know how the setup is in Delaware. A few of us back home are interested in how this turns out.

Went to High School with this kid in Shenandoah, PA. He was always real flirty person to all the girls, but hardly ever got the attention he wanted. There are a few times I could recall where he would try to ‘playfully wrestle’ girls in a joking nature… but he was probably just trying to cop a feel. Wouldn’t be all that surprised if it came out that this was true. Agree with the Waynesburg guy, he was always a little off.

He didn’t do this. this is all a lie. The girl is a liar. He was the best teacher, and thhis girl ruined his career, and we miss him.

i played football with rainis at waynesburg college, he was always an odd dude, if he did say and do these things he was probably joking around, but i wouldn’t be surprised in the least if he was serious…

I think its weird that he had he cell phone number, coming from a registered MD substitute teacher that’s definitely against policy, John has always shown more interest in helping his female students then males, and he always was very arugent of a guy. Seems like the two got him in a little trouble, (right or wrong). At Salisbury some of my friends that were girls always said they saw him staring at they’re chest so I guess it’s a little hard to place my opinion for him in this case. Ive always told him he was going to get in trouble for not thinking in class. Didn’t think I would be right so quick. Its a shame. Another thing is if I drive to his house and knock on his door he doesn’t answer. Which I probably wouldn’t want to either but seems like he is hiding something to me.

Mr. Rainis was one of the best teachers at Central, till this moment I still don’t believe that he did that to the female student. I believe that she was lying, because if Rainis did so that to her why would she joke around with him so much all the time? Also why would she flirt around so much? It just doesn’t make sense…
