"When victims, whistleblowers, witnesses speak up and call police and help prosecutors file lawsuits and expose wrongdoers, then wrongdoing is prevented and kids are spared," Blaine said.

Blaine wants Yorkville police and school officials to be aggressive in their search for alleged victims and said any sexual activity between a student and a teacher is an abuse of power.
