In my years of activism, three decades, I have never seen anything like this," Quanell X said."I demand you apologize to the parents because you all did know," Quanell X said.

They said Klein ISD knew about the allegations against Grigsby more than a year ago. They said a former teacher who worked at Klein Cain HS brought it to their attention after her own daughter -- also a student -- became a victim. The former teacher filed a police report as well as a written statement with the Harris County Sheriff's Office and shared it with the district. But, they said, district officials never took action.

"We started to investigate the case based on an outcry of one of the victims, and through the investigation of her son, we came to corroborate some of the statements from the victims as well as digital evidence that this defendant was, in fact, involved with this case," Harris County Assistant District Attorney Steven Denman said.
