Letter: Too quick to judge accused teacher

As a retired teacher who taught middle school physical education for 31 years, I read with interest the story about Aaron Kozlowski ["Prosecution of teacher dropped," News, Nov. 7].
It's frightening that a story told by four middle school boys, without any proof, can lead to a teacher's arrest, a police mug shot and a news story. It appears that Kozlowski was guilty until proven innocent.
The teacher has taught for nine years without incident, according to the story. Police investigators should be more interested in using common sense before they ruin a person's reputation.
