Of the three men charged by Ottawa police around the same time, Clarke was the only one who saw his day in court. Criminal charge sheets provided more details about the dozens of charges laid against Clarke, Greenham and Stanutz dating from 1970 to 2005. It was the more than 90 interviews with witnesses, teachers, principals, former students, victims, police sources, parents and lawyers — some on the record, and some off — that were the most fruitful. Immediately after the stories were published, emails poured into CBC Ottawa inboxes, including mine, from as far away as New Zealand and England. There were allegations about abusive teachers at different schools across Canada, and some new information about the teachers at Bell High School.
