   Earlier this summer, Rabbi Aryeh Blaut pled guilty to charges of possession of child pornography, and on Friday, September 24, he was sentenced to prison.
   
   For those of you who do not know Rabbi Blaut, he served as a member of our faculty for over twelve years teaching Judaic studies to our students. Rabbi Blaut also served as a full- or part-time administrator during some of those years.
   
   Here are the facts from the Seattle Hebrew Academy's perspective:
   
   On October 23, 2003, I was informed that Rabbi Blaut was the subject of a federal investigation for possession of child pornography.
   ...
   On October 24, 2003, Rabbi Blaut resigned from his teaching duties at the Seattle Hebrew Academy. We directed Rabbi Blaut to cease all contacts with our students and at our direction and in cooperation with his lawyer, he sent a letter to the families of children that he was tutoring stating that he would no longer be tutoring their children. Rabbi Blaut was most cooperative with the school in understanding that he should resign and not have further contact with SHA students.
   
   During this time, I learned that federal authorities had seized two personal computers from Rabbi Blaut's home. We checked his school computer and found no illegal materials on it.
   
   In late October and early November, at my direction, we conducted an in-house investigation into Rabbi Blaut's history at SHA, including a review of his personnel and other files. We found no suggestions in any record of any inappropriate behavior while Rabbi Blaut worked at SHA and have no such evidence. Rabbi Blaut told me and other community rabbis that he had no inappropriate contact with children, and, to the best of our knowledge, inappropriate contact was never part of the investigation.
   ...
   We encourage you to share whatever information you believe is appropriate with your children; particularly those children who were students of Rabbi Blaut.
