Bangor Council Report: Accused Pedophile Resigns

Stephanie Merlo, a volunteer volleyball coach at Pius X High School accused of inappropriate sexual behavior with a 17 year old student, has resigned her seat on Bangor Borough Council. David Houser, a Council member who publicly called for her resignation, announced that Borough Council unanimously agreed to accept her letter of resignation at their reorganization meeting last night.

Merlo stands accused of corrupting the morals of a minor as well as having sexual contact with her. She is free on $75,000 unsecured bail and awaits a February 12 preliminary hearing before District Judge Todd Strohe.

The alleged victim recanted. So you are smearing her name. Unlike how you defend admitted pedo who as a school director dated a fifteen year old student.

Now that is creepy and wrong.

Under Merlo's own admission, she supplied this student with marijuana. That's a crime, and she resigned, as she should have.

Bern's math is wrong again. Ok so supplying marijuana is a crime. But isn't a 20 year old (your friend stolz) dating romantically 15 year old a crime too. Yet you defended him! Also didn't you defend your friend Robert W. Rudas? Or am i wrong? Becuase he is a million times worse than stolz and merlo combined. If you're gonna tell it like it is Bern, you gotta be fair no, what's good for the goose is good for the gander

Also 28 and 17 isn't pedophilia. It's not right, but it's not pedophilia. Having kiddie porn on your pc like Rudas, that's a pedo!

Case closed. Move on.

It's not case closed. Your heading of your article calls her a pedophile, which i don't believe a 28 year old dating a 17 year old is pedophilia. And yet you defended stolz who was ROMANTIC at 20 in a position of power with a 15 year old. You said he shouldn't have had to resign, why is that? Also Rudas had a 3 year old naked in a bathtub on his pc along with other child porn. All i ask from the talking heads in this area is to be consistent Bern. You can't just attack people you don't like because you don't like their lifestyles and defend friends who've done the same or worse!

Yes he can!! He does it every day. Just like he defends his mancrushes everyday.

Like I said, case closed.By her own admission, she supplies weed to an underage high school student. And she is an accused pedophile. Move along.

So Stoltz is also an accused pedophile because he has a romantic relationship with a 15 year old student??

Please don't use the stupid, he parents said it was OK excuse.

I guess you believe a man can take a 10 year old to a motel if the kids parents are ok with it.

She is less of a pedo than that creep form Emmaus. You really need to not only move on but get real!

Stephanie Merlo is the god daughter of the council member she replaced- Marino Saveri. The council president, Kathy Allen works for Saveri-Coincidence?

I cannot allow your statement to stand.If false, it is libel per se. To make that comment, I want complete detail, and you must completely identify yourself. Even then, i am very uncomfortable without first checking it.

At the expense of sound pedantic, Merlo has not been accused of pedophilia, which is defined as a sexual attraction to prepubescent children. The girl in question was 17.

Bernie O'Hare said...

That makes her a child. Merriam-Webster defines pedophilia as a sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object. Any person in high school is, in my opinion, a child. Any person under the age 18 is considered a minor. You are being pedantic.

I am outraged by any teacher or coach or volunteer having a sexual relationship with a 17 year old student. It is not just pedophilia, but predatory.That person stands in a position of trust, in parens patria, and violates a trust.

Try to minimize this despicable behavior somewhere else.
