“Not gonna lie. Seems to me that Karma caught up with a rapist today,” Sejkora wrote Jan. 26, the same day Bryant died.
It insensitive comment was in a reference to a 2003 case where Bryant was exonerated of rape charges involving a 19-year-old woman.
The Camas School District Superintendent Dr. Jeff Snell says the district will communicate with families regarding a transition plan, reports KIMA.
“This has been a tumultuous week, however, I’ve been impressed with the level of professionalism our staff members have displayed as well as the caring and compassion from our families,” Snell said.
