Daily News | A Bucks County music director accused of molesting his students has been sentenced to jail
A once-popular music director in the Central Bucks School District who prosecutors say molested two of his former students and secretly recorded another will spend 2½-to-five years behind bars for those crimes.
But behind those accolades was a man who abused his position of power, prosecutors say, victimizing and grooming students who trusted him.Ohrt, 57, retired from the Central Bucks West High School after a leave of absence in 2021. Ohrt, of Furlong, is a graduate of the district. In court Monday, Ohrt’s former students, now adults, gave tearful statements in which they described sleepless nights, ruined relationships, and thousands of dollars in therapy as they grappled with Ohrt’s actions from when they were children and teens. One man said he was in sixth grade when the teacher groped him during piano lessons in the school music room.
“It pales in comparison to what Ohrt has truly invaded,” he said as his loved ones wrapped their arms around each other and held back tears on a nearby bench. “He has invaded my life, my future, my mind, my soul, he’s stolen many years from me that I will not get back.” “You don’t have the courage to admit your conduct,” Finely said to Ohrt. “I don’t believe you care about anyone but yourself.”
“Ohrt chose students in his music classes, developed a special relationship, desensitizing them to his touch — hugging before coming before sexual in nature,” Dudley said, adding that she believed Ohrt’s actions represented a longstanding pattern of behavior.
