Did same thing happen
When Columbia band director Robert Richards was arrested for a sexual encounter with a student, the Lancaster County District Attorney’s office and the Columbia Police Department hoped that more students who may have information on the incident would come forward.
While that hasn’t happened in Columbia, it has in Richmond, VA., where Richards was the band director at Varina High School in the Henrico County School District. Shortly after the Richmond Times-Dispatch ran a story about Richards’ arrest in Columbia, people have come forward to the Columbia Ledger with information that there were similar incidents at his former school, which were never pursued by school officials or police.
The Henrico County School District in Richmond had little to say about the allegations.
“Mr. Robert Richards was a band director at Varina High School from September 1998 to June 30, 2001. That’s all the information we can provide,” said Mychael Dickerson, media relations director for the Varina County School District.
