    • William Bricker arrested in September - decades after alleged assaults
    • Charged with immoral and indecent acts against two boys and one girl
    • Attacks reportedly occurred at Wyoming camp in 1962, 1968 and 1985
    • But now, newly-found memo has suggested there may be 100 victims
    • Released by school district, it says: 'Could have 100 children abused'
    • Bricker, now 94, 'has heart failure and breathes through oxygen tank'
    • He must undergo competency evaluation before an extradition hearing
    A 94-year-old former camp counselor and gym teacher who is charged with multiple sex crimes against children may have abused a staggering 100 youngsters, a new memo has suggested. William Bricker was arrested at his retirement community, the Tendercare Health and Rehab Center in Garfield Township, Wyoming, in September after allegedly abusing two boys and one girl. He was later charged with immoral and indecent acts with a child over the alleged sexual assaults, two of which reportedly occurred against two boys at Teton Valley Ranch Camp in 1962 and '85. The third apparent attack involved a 14-year-old girl who was reportedly kissed and fondled by Bricker during an overnight camping trip at Grand Teton National Park in 1968

    After he was charged, Bricker's former employer, Winnetka District 36, released hundreds of pages of his personnel records, some indicating school officials knew of his alleged crimes decades ago. But now, a handwritten page dated 1995 - a decade after Bricker left his job at District 36's Hubbard Woods School - has been unearthed that suggests there may have been up to 100 victims.

    Winnetka school memo on elderly ex-teacher suggests '100 children abused'

    After retired teacher Bill Bricker was charged in the fall with sex crimes against children, his former employer, Winnetka District 36, released hundreds of pages of his personnel records, some indicating school officials were alerted to claims against him as early as 1968. But almost lost within the stack of memos and letters to lawyers is a single handwritten page that includes a terse phrase that's as inscrutable as it is potentially damning: "Could have 100 children abused."

    The unsigned page of notes is dated Feb. 23, 1995, a decade after Bricker retired from his job at District 36's Hubbard Woods School. The notes, written during the tenure of then-Superintendent Rebecca van der Bogert ...

    Ex-Winnetka teacher accused of abuse worked longer than previously reported

    Since Winnetka P.E. teacher Bill Bricker was charged with sex crimes against children earlier this year, school officials have noted in multiple statements that he retired from Hubbard Woods School in 1985. What they didn't note is that Winnetka District 36 officials hired Bricker back just months later as a substitute teacher. He was allowed to continue working with young students for at least five more years, even though district and police records show that school officials had been alerted multiple times since 1968 to claims that he had sexually abused or otherwise had inappropriate physical contact with children.

    Ex-Winnetka teacher accused of sex crimes dies

    A former North Shore teacher and Boy Scout leader who was accused at age 94 of decades-old child sex crimes has died, ending the prospect that he will stand trial and leaving questions that now will likely remain unanswered. Bill Bricker, who had been on home confinement in Michigan while fighting extradition to Wyoming, where he was charged with molesting three children at a summer camp, died at about 10 p.m. Friday, his attorney Michael Lewis said. A Michigan funeral home director said Bricker will be cremated with no services or obituary — a quiet ending for a former Winnetka ...
