ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. - A WINK News exclusive. Disturbing new allegations of sexual abuse by a Charlotte County teacher at Walt Disney World.
Former Port Charlotte High Band teacher Dale Bowe is accused of several counts of sexual battery.
The alleged victims, two of his students.
On August 31st 2007, the victim claims Bowe took him and other students on a weekend trip to Disney World.
Bowe slept in the same bed as the alleged victim and says he woke up in the middle of the night to feel Bowe touching and fondling him in a sexual way.
Less than two months later, the teen says he went on another trip with Bowe alone.
The victim claims he woke up to Bowe inappropriately touching him, grabbing his hand and putting it on Bowe's private area.
It's now December 2007, and Dale Bowe allegedly victimizes a second student at Disney World.
The boy claims Bowe bought Bailey's Irish Crème and Bowe made him some drinks in the room. That night, the student tells investigators he woke up to Bowe performing oral sex on him.
Bowe has resigned from the Charlotte County School District and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

I have known Dale for 30 years and I am having a hard time believing any of this is true. Dale and I worked with the Youth Group in Boca Grande, with community theatre, church choir, bell choir, he was well liked by everyone. He will be sadly missed. It's just a shame it had to come to this. May you rest in peace!

If he was attacted once why did he keep going off with him? Once should have been enough to call police.

This kind of abuse is getting to be a regular thing on children in the Florida public school system. When is our Governor going to step up to the plate and take some action against the Florida school districts?? Enough is enough!!!

I wonder if this teacher is a registered sex offender. But the law states that in order to be a molester, one has to be registered first. Most sexual assults come from teachers, so it appears. They put themselfs in a position, to commit assult. But as we all know, students must trust teachers! But we all know as well too, that most teachers that commit assult, just stop teaching, or payoff.
