A Michigan public school employee who mocked anti-groomer parents during a school board meeting last year, has been arrested for allegedly trying to meet with minors for sex.
Eric Rohman, 41, and two other men were arrested last Thursday and Friday as part of a sting operation targeting pedophiles that was orchestrated by the Isabella County Sheriff’s Office.
According to police, the three communicated with potential victims on social media, while posing as children.
“All three were arrested for using a computer to commit a crime and accosting a minor for immoral purposes. Police allege that the three communicated over various social media apps with decoys posing as children. The three are accused of going to a location to have sex with a child, where they were arrested,” the police press release said.
The report continues: “the sting was assisted by officers with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Michigan State Police, Michigan State Police analytics unit, CMENT and MINT narcotics units, Shepherd Police Department and Isabella County Central Dispatch.”
Sheriff Michael Main praised the work of the arresting officers.
“This would not be possible without the unified and dedicated support of so many agencies and law enforcement officers,” Main said.
Until recently, Rohman was an employee of Mt. Pleasant Michigan’s public school system, where he apparently worked closely with students.
The alleged child predator appeared before the Mount Pleasant School Board in June of 2021 to address the controversy surrounding the district’s pro-LGBT curricula that some parents were criticizing as pro-groomer.
While donning a “Black Lives Matter tee-shirt, Rohman, began by boasting that he is both “vaccinated” and a member of the “LGBTQIA community.”
“My name is Eric Rohman. I am a resident, townie, taxpayer, vaccinated and functioning graduate of this high school, class of 1999, proud member of the LGD-LGBTQIA community, and an employee of Mt. Pleasant Public Schools,” Rohman said, before telling parents who oppose LGBT curricula in schools that “their kids will learn on their own.”
“For the past five years I have had the profound privilege of working with YOUR students, with YOUR students, with YOUR students,” Rohman taunted, gesturing toward various members of the audience. “I can tell you this, they are HUNGRY for knowledge. They are so hungry for knowledge that despite your words, your wishes, your values, they will learn on their own.”
He continued: “They’re gonna do it anyway, no matter what you say or do, no matter how many candles you light, no matter how many rallies you hold.”
