This story takes place in a small rural village in Southern Ontario, Canada, where a crime was committed in the 1950s and 60s. Though the teacher/Principal of the two-room village school assaulted most of the female students, he was never brought to justice - in fact, he was protected and allowed to continue teaching. Most of the town's parents allowed their children to continue attending the school, though fully aware of the teacher's activities.
