SWAMPSCOTT, Mass. — FOX25 Investigates has uncovered more specifics about the allegations against the former principal of Swampscott High School.
Edward Rozmiarek resigned last month after allegations of inappropriate conduct on school computers.
FOX25’s Heather Hegedus has been trying to get her hands on the police report for a month. Beverly police released it Wednesday because that is where Rozmiarek lives.
While Rozmiarek is not facing any criminal charges, the police report reveals what seems was behind the “inappropriate behavior” that lead to his resignation.
The report details a series of Internet chats that Rozmiarek allegedly had with someone he thought was a 13-year-old girl.
It was actually a trained decoy for a non-profit called The Perverted Justice Foundation.
According to the report, the foundation tipped off investigators and provided chat logs, screen captures of chats, text messages, photos, and emails.
Rozmiarek allegedly admitted to the decoy he was a principal and father, but said he was a “regular guy in a chat room” and used the chat name “A Great Guy.”
The report says the chats between Rozmiarek and the decoy were sexual in nature, and that he initiated the sexual chats.
FOX25 first reported in December that State Police had been to Rozmiarek’s Beverly home for an investigation. FOX25 can now report that an examination of his desktop computer found browser activity from the two chatrooms in question.
Police also say a school issued Dell laptop also contained evidence consistent with chat activity on those websites, plus “dozens of graphic files depicting adult pornography.”
When investigators questioned Rozmiarek, he acknowledged his behavior was inappropriate and said he did it “because it’s exciting.”
For the third time since the story broke, FOX25 tried to reach Rozmiarek at his Beverly. He did not come to the door.
FOX25 reached out to Rozmiarek's attorney who again emphasized there are no criminal charges against Rozmiarek.
The District Attorney's Office says "state statute requires that a defendant entice the alleged victim to a specific location and there is no evidence that shows Rozmiarek did that."
In a statement, the Essex County District Attorney told FOX25, "I'm not charging Mr. Rozmiarek. The Essex District Attorney's Office does not suggest that his conduct was in any way appropriate. As repugnant as his conduct was, it simply does not cross the criminal line."
Officials say two letters were sent to parents, the first says Swampscott schools took out a no trespass order against Rozmiarek while the second says they've hired an interim principal.
