Update on convicted sex offender Raymond Garrett Stanford,ex school teacher in st.john’s Newfoundland,charged with sexual assault,assault and indecent assault against young boy from community where teacher taught.He is now employed by government of newfoundland and labrador,works at local newfoundland and labrador sports center.At this center,young boys and girls play sports all year long.He must be is his glee.This pedophile also goes by the name Gary.Please people,don’t let your kids go there alone,this man is “physco”. He uses abuse to get what he wants from young boys.
Please go to the Press about this, as well as the RCMP. Thanks for making this public, but something more has to be done before he ruins more lives. I will pray you find a way to stop him in his plans. GOD Bless !
Thanks for that information st. john bosco. I have moved Stanford’s name over to the Of Interest/Non Clerical page where it belongs. I have also opened a page for him. I don’t unfortunately have much information. Can you perhaps help?
Was he convicted? Which school or schools was he teaching at? Any information you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
IF he was convicted then the fact that he is now employed by the provincial government and permitted to work at a sports centre amongst young boys and girls boggles the mind.
Yes he was convicted,he was sentenced to 4 and a half years.He was a teacher at St.john bosco school in a community in St.john’s.NL.(Shea Height’s). He is now working at the newfoundland and labrador sports center on Crosbie road in st.john’s.
To st.john bosco- Is he the same Gary Stanford that taught at st.pat’s school in st.john’s,i remember him. I spent time at mount cashel,an orphanage for young boy’s , and he used to bring basketball teams in to play against us.When we were done playing,the christian brothers used to let us go swimming in the pool.I think Gary was good friends with alot of christian brothers.Thanks for the update st.john bosco!! I cant believe that the government of newfoundland employes him at the newfoundland and labrador sports center. This totally outrages me, Im blown away.
st. johns Bosco….thanks for this info
hi all, i think the abuse went beyond strictly clergy and appears to be involved in RC spin-offs such as teachers, etc..
To St. John Bosco and Sylvia,
Was this convicted RC School Teacher fired from teaching and what has he been doing since then. To hear of the present employment circumstances suprises me!
To St. John Bosco any further updates are appreciated, whereabouts, etc..
I am trying to get some more information on Stanford. I have no idea if his teaching licence has been revoked or not. It should have been, but, …maybe it wasn’t? I will try to find out.
Yes, Stevie, Catholic teachers figure in this dirty mess too. I can’t list them off the top of my head, and don’t have time right now to look them all up, but there are a number of disturbing sex abuse scandals involving Catholic teachers. For example, in the Diocese of Alexandria-Cornwall there was Robert Sabourin. He was a great friend of Bishop Proulx and of number of diocesan clergy, and was sort of the unofficial diocesan photographer. He was convicted.
And in the Diocese of Peterborough there was Frank Russell , who at one time was in charge of Religious Education in the diocese: he was convicted, as was his brother Father William Russell.
And of course in the Diocese of London Ontario there’s Mark Baggio who was convicted years ago and has just now had his licence revoked.
There are many more.
And then I’ve been noticing that there seem to be a number of predatory clergy who were teachers first before they felt ‘called’ to the priesthood, and then eventually wound up convicted.
My plan way back was to eventually add the names of all convicted Catholic teachers. I will eventually get around to that.
To st. john Bosco,
If you have any further details it would be appreciated given stanford is still employed at a place where children attend. Were the convictions for assault, sexual assault and indecency, while he was a teacher? God bless
To All, Is this nuts or just crazy, having this convicted sex offender working in the building with young people. What are the people in newfoundland thinking…wake up!
WE Need more information….anyone?
To st. john Bosco & Sylvia,
As a Convicted sex offender does this ex-teacher need a Police Conduct to work at this center? As children are present!
To St. John Bosco: after being convicted and serving time for sex abuse how did this ex RC school teacher get hired for this job??
Hi—were there any news paper references to this case? If so, this may help Susan, Sylvia and Tony W.
Let’s move the comments on Stanford over to the Raymond Garth Stanford page so that all of the information is collected in one place. There are comments starting here
TO St John Bosco= Everyone, especially parents, are thankfull that this matter was brought public. Thanks
