On the fallout. Were all living in the but first, the nightline 5. Good eveninin here tonight major update to a nightline practice known as passing ing. The trash when administrators unload teachers accused of Sexual Misconduct to other schools. The new Mexico Attorney general opened a grand jury investigation. Now even more alleged victims are coming forward. Heres abcs amy robach. Improper places. Ching us in reporter this is the rarely seen footage of a young girl alleging abuse in her school classroom. Are you more comfortable in that chair . Yeah. Reporter struggling to find the right words to describe the inexplicable as part of a 2009 Police Investigation into abus Elementary School in espanola, new mexico. He touched us like right here and all that and sometimes he stuck his hand deeper in and then i used to always wear my jacket and then i never wear skirts. I would wear pants because i was afraid. So when you say he stuck his hands right here, what does that mean, on your clothes or on your skin . On my skin. Reporter shes pointing a finger at her fourth grade teacher gary gregor who now sits behind bars more than a decade after his students allege he committed sexual abuse. She says the memories of school year still haunt her to mad because hes standing next to so many children who are unaware of the person he is. Reporter a person who had a trail of allegations of misconduct across two School Districts fromtate to state, classroom to classroom. The clat from the start gregor showering girls with gifts. I remember getting a white tshirt with purple flowers on it that said my name on it. I got a little notebook that was green, my favorite color. Reporter singling them out for special treatment. He would have us sit next to him in the classroom as we had elected officials, Council Members and i was always on that council. I felt like i had some kind of power in the class especially above the other students who didnt get elected. Reporter in front of the cl for abuse. I drew thoughts on the spots where we were touched and different colors are for different girls. It just felt strange to have to talk about it at such a young age when i wasnt even comfortable saying the words. He told you to go in the closet and then what . He said he wanted to kiss me. The thing that i remember the most w feeling the warmth of his breath next to my face on my ear where his lips touching mine. And it just didnt feel right. And i didnt want i anted it to afraid. Reporter her story is familiar, part of an explosive reality. The u. S. Dep estimates that 4. 5 Million Students experienced Sexual Misconduct at the hands of a School Employee some time between kindergarten and 12th grade. Another government report found that in its study on average one Child Predator in schools had as many as 73 victims, sometimes without ever being caught. Serious loopholes in the state system make it easy for predators to evade detection. Reporter soo continue to allow predatory teachers to move from one classroom to another. Assing the trash is how many refer to it. An easy way for administrators to unload problematic teachers on to other schools by alleged misconduct through confidential agreements and other means sometimes even providing recommendations then looking the other way. They basically say, well grease the wheels so that you can go get a job somewhere else, as long as its not here at our school. Reporter attorney dave ring says hes litigated passing the trash cases for 21 years. Why do you think administrators allow these teachers to just move on . Its the easy way out. Its the quickest, most efficient solution to get rid of a dangerous teacher. Get him out of our school. Let someone else deal with him. Hold our breath. Reporter long before nigelli, gregor taught fifth grade in utah. In 1995, the state charging him with sexual abuse of a child. A district judge dismissed the charges citing insufficient proof and the state board of education issued gregor a reprimand. He then turned up as a teacher in two other schools, in montana and new mexico before becoming a fourth grade teacher in santa fe. There, during a field trip in 2004, museum staff reported seeing gregor inappropriately touching student. The school investigated finding that gregor hugged and tickled the girls saying i believe this is grooming behavior. He signed an agreement that he would resign and not apply for another position within that School District and in exchange he would receive a neutral recommendation enabling him to find his next job in espanola. Agreements like this, freeing teachers to move on to other classrooms, have been banned in only seven states across the country. Nigelli sa she and three of her friends worked up the courage to report it to the principal only to get an unexpected reaction. Her response was that he was a good friend of hers. She knew that he wouldnt do that. Reporter they placed the blame squarely on the girls and even going into the classroom to reprimand them. She told the class that we shouldnt be making false accusations because she was pretty much calling us liars. Reporter after the public scolding, she kept quiet. I felt trapped. Who was going to believe me . Reporter in a statement through her attorney, principal montoya denied any wrongdoing saying that she investigated and took action regarding all alleged infractions and that the class was regularly monitored and a grandmother sat in on a good portion of his class. The state claimed there was never any report from nigelli made to ms. Montoya. Eventually nigelli told her own parents who contacted police who conducted their own investigation. The case languished for years. But new Mexico Attorney general hector stepped in since nightline first began reporting on nigellis case. You said, we have a system right now that favors Employment Rights over student safety rights. Do you still believe thats the case . I absolutely believe that. The system right now is a playground for predators, and simply they have the wrong set of priorities. Weve done a very poor job in proportionately responding to the sex abuse crisis that exists in Public Schools across this country. Reporter soon after our report first aired in april, he opened a grand jury investigation where nigelli testified once again sharing the sensitive details of the alleged misconduct. I know my story. Every time i have to tell it, it brings back emotions. Reporter gregor was convicted on sexual penetration of a minor, kidnapping and sexual contact with a minor. Ensuring that mr. Gregor has absolutely no contact with any minors. Reporter abc requested a statement from gregor through his attorney, which he declined but he denies the allegations. Are you entering a plea of not guilty . We are, your honor. I got the chills. Feels nice to know that finally somethings being done about what happened to us. Rter ten years after those difficult days, nigelli says shes ready to face gregor in court. He cant intimidate me the it and hes en a little there, i wont let him have any control over me. Reporter if convicted on all charges, gregor could face a maximum pen alt of 165 years in prison. Since his arrest, three more women have come forward with their own stori of sexual abuse by gregor while they were still in Elementary School including multiple counts of sexual penetration, criminal sexual contact and one count each of sexual exploitable of children and kidnapping. You are going trial. Reporter abc requested a comment from gregor through his attorney about these charges, but he attorney general valderas says this i over. His office will continue to examine the responsibility if any of school administratorgreg for these predators to go from School District to School District is absolutely appalling. Reporter nigelli sayshe remains hopeful that justice will finally be served. He cant hurt anybody else by doing what he did to me and the other girls. Reporter for nightline, im amy robach. Our thanks to amy robach and that trial is scheduled for january. Next here when all the money in the world becomes all the headaches in the world and then some. The high stakes big screen hollywood gamble. T blood clot. I sure had a lot on my mind. My 30year marriage. My 3month old business. Plus. What if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i made a point to talk to my doctor. He told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both. And that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Breathe freely fast wmy congestions gone. I can breathe again i can breathe again vicks sinex. Breathe on. A farmers market. Ieve whats in this kiester. A fire truck. Even a marching band. And if i can get comfortable talking about this kiester, then you can get comfortable using preparation h. For any sort of discomfort in yours. Preparation h. Get comfortable with it. It feels good to be back. It really is an unprecedented cinematic scramble. The acclaimed director ridley scott reshooting Kevin Spaceys lead role in the upcoming movie all the money in the world when Sexual Misconduct allegations sidelined the star. Plummer and scott are up for golden globes. How did they pull this off . Heabcs nick watt. You have all the money in the world. Reporter all the money in the world has become the title of not one but two powerful men. John paul getty and the man originally cast to play him, kevin spacey. You completely cut already . Oh, yeah, i was done. I was delivered. I was walking away. I had already started another movie. Reporter then october 29, less than two months before the scheduled release of the film, d and climbing on top of him d during a party in the 80s when rapp was just 14. Spacey claims not to remember the incident but apologized for any hurt. Were you surprised when the revelations came out about him . Not completely surprised. I knew he had a bit of a reputation. I keep out of that. I dont read tabloid. Dont touch it. All im concerned about is the individuals as an artist. How how much would you pay to release your grandson . Reporter spacey was starring alongside Michelle Williams in the true tale of the kidnapping of gettys grandson. Were you friends with kevin spacey . Were you surprised at these accusations, revelations . We had very little interaction. Reporter within weeks more than a dozen men accused spacey of Sexual Misconduct. Netflix soon announced their flagship house of cards would continue but without spacey. The trailer for all the money in the world to drop, spacey was in it. They were just going to release the picture anyway . I didnt wait for that to happen. I knew inevitably by the time you finish, there will be a reason why it wont get released. I didnt want that to happen. Reporter scott decided to recast and reshoot mere weeks from its thendecember 22nd release. He asked veteran venable oldest ever oscar actor winner Christopher Plummer to replace spacey. He said screw you. Why didnt you offer it to me in first place. Reporter he slept on it, then said he was in. I wanted to do it immediately. I was very surprised it was much longer than i thought. My god, what have i done . Two days later we were off to london. And shooting. Reporter Christopher Plummer is 88 old. Ridley scott is 80. Sony coughed up another million er cost ks and a unprec history was under way. I love the chase. Even though i dont look like i like it. Cool, and my demeanor is smooth and elegant. But underneath theres a real [ bleep ]. And hes a bit of a door kicker. Reporter nine days, 18hour days, 22 scenes, reshot in london and rome, but not in the jordanian desert from which spacey was digitally erased and plummer, shot on a green screen inserted. If ive got getty here and maybe the edge of michelle, then i have to reshoot that. Reporter so they also needed mis back on set. I received a phone call from a producer. He said, please dont talk to anybody about this, but would you if you could. I said not only would i, but ill give you back my salary if that would help and ill give you my thireak if that would reporter why did you feel this roly . I felt like here we go again. And thats the tyranny of abuse is that its always about them. And wre all living in the liams did not heir ac want everyone elses hard work to go to waste. For no one is it more painful than the people whose lives were directly affected, but it certainly infiltrated our lives and our work and our families and our time. And to have all of this for naught was really a shame. Reporter scott and williams both received golden globe nominations for this film. She is the star, plays gail getty fighting from the mafia a to get one of the wealthiest men in the world to pay the ransom. Ridley scott, i want to tell it from a womans perspective. Reporter plummer also got the golden globe nod, nine days work. We tried to find some vulnerability in the old man. I concentrated on making him perhaps more human than he deserved tbe. Reporter and kevin spacey now eight house of cards employees allege sexual harassment. Spacey is reportedly right now seeking treatment. We reached out to him for comment and have not yet heard back. Have either of you spoken to kevin spacey . No. Its up call me. Reporter how might history trm . Should he be allowed art flourish despite what he might do in his private life . I think its a big endless debate and a big question, but i yes, it should be american beauty is a great movie. What can do, take that away from him . You cant. Christopher walz on your list. The list is very short. Two. And i made the wrong choice. Reporter the movie hits theaters christmas day, three days behind the original schedule ridley scott claims he prefers december 25th anyway.
