Ohio LifeWise Teachers Face Sex Crime Charges

Three Ohio men tied to LifeWise Academy—a religious education program for public school students—have faced or pleaded guilty to serious sex crimes involving minors, including rape and voyeurism. Despite LifeWise’s claims of no prior misconduct reports, background checks passed at hiring, and strict safety protocols, the scandal has ignited national concern, especially from secular education advocates. One teacher pleaded guilty to voyeurism, another faces rape charges and remains jailed, while a volunteer admitted to rape and sexual battery. As Ohio mandates release time for religious instruction, LifeWise insists student safety is paramount—and that no child was ever left unattended with staff.
