The American School in Japan has finally made the announcement that victims of Jack Moyer¡¯s sex abuse have been waiting decades to hear: An independent investigation will examine the former teacher¡¯s suspected crimes and why school officials apparently allowed his attacks to continue unabated.

According to an email sent by ASIJ¡¯s board of directors on June 4, investigators will study the school¡¯s records related to Moyer, interview victims of his attacks and attempt to uncover what exactly school administrators knew of the alleged serial pedophile¡¯s assaults.

¡°It will address the allegations against Moyer, and assess how ASJI [sic] faculty, staff and administrators responded. It will also examine any other allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior at ASIJ that might surface as part of this investigation,¡± states the email addressed to alumni and parents of children currently attending the school.
