That firm referred both to Bansbach., the women shared their stories with a reporter and with each other. They seemed to find strength in the retelling and support in standing together.
"He was good. I went there excited by the things that I had heard about the music program, the choruses, the music lessons," said Edward Cavalier, the now-retired principal at East High who joined the administration there in 1981."He was well-thought-of."Edwin D. Fleming, 1970In her 2005 autobiography,, Renée Fleming described her father as"handsome, with a soft lower lip and shining black hair that fell across his forehead in an Elvis Presley curl.
"He said ‘just a minute’ and he went over and he locked the door," Betty recalled. "He took my guitar from me and put it down and started, I guess you would call it, kissing and everything, and took me into this office and…""And had sex with me. Forced me," she whispered."And then when it was over, he slapped me."
"Having the benefit of the last 45 years it's like, 'Well, why didn’t you just not go?'" she said."Why didn’t this, why didn’t that and then, you know, those thoughts haunt you and you feel stupid and embarrassed and like a horrible person because you did this terrible thing and you allowed this thing to be done. But at the time, you're terrified.
"He'd slap me or punch me and his thing was, 'If anybody does find out about this, it will be my word against yours. You'll never graduate from high school, I’ll make sure that you never go to college, I’ll make sure you’ll be embarrassed, you’ll be a whore.' So when you’re 15…"She once feared a family member had discovered what was happening, and in a panic tried to take her own life.
They met in Kehoe’s new office at the district’s downtown office. According to her legal complaint, Betty told Kehoe that Fleming had forced her to have sexual intercourse., Kehoe told reporters she remembered the meeting clearly, but she didn't recall how explicit Betty had been about Fleming’s alleged abuse.

"He would help me stand up, kiss me, caress my entire body," Laura said."I mean, really my entire body, my breasts, my behind, my crotch. He would kiss me. I’d never been kissed by a man and I would just kind of stand there stiffly."
"I always had this gut feeling that something really bad would happen if I went out to that RV," Laura said."I was raised in a home where you just let the adults be the boss and I didn’t have any inclination to push him away or tell him to stop," Laura said. "It’s very easy for me to think, ‘I’m fine,’" she said, voice breaking."But the truth is, I’m not fine. I’ve been single almost my entire life. There’s no reason for that. I should have been in a happy marriage all these years...I just feel like it impacted my feelings about who I am and my value to this world.Adam Urbanski, the long-time leader of the Rochester teachers union, had a nodding acquaintance with Fleming when they both taught at East High in the 1970s.
