Is there anyone else who can shed light on this recent arrest? Craig Bowen was arrested for molesting his niece is all I know.

You need to call the "parents"(??) of this, and see if you can work something out with them.

Shame on you guys. You drove that baby child off the deep end. Worse yet, you all started in on this clown and you didn't even wait for me. Sad

And to think I chose financial gains over taunting goofballs. Puzzled

It is so obvious that you are either a silly sixth grader or worse yet, a 8th grader that acts like an immature 6th grader.
I know some kids like to act like this to get attention, but this attention is only in your head. No one knows who you are. You are so off base and someone else said it right; if this was about someone close to you or someone in your family, your tune would be completely different.

I am an 8th grader, you obviously didn't take the time to read this since I stated that atleast twice. How am I "trying to get attention?" I'm just stating my opinion! Smiling

would this happen to be a teacher?
because maybe parents dont care what there children say.
personally i dont speak that way but this isnt school.

I have teenagers older than middle school age. I'm sure MOST Parents care what their children say. You have a right to speak your mind, just say it in the correct way. No need for bad language.

I don't think it is fair to imply that students were asked to "keep it quiet". A letter was sent home with all of the students Monday afternoon. There are not many details, but the alleged incident took place a few years ago in Coweta County. Ther were NO RSMS students involved.

This is quite a shocker. Two of my kids have had Craig Bowen. I thought he was one of the best teachers they ever had. Sure fooled me. One of my kids also had his wife for a teacher. She must be in total shock. Prayers for the victim, and his family too. They are all victims.

Mom to 3 (and all of their friends, who love to hang out at my house-- LOVE THAT, almost always know where they are!!!)

I was a student in Mr. Bowen's class last year. I got an email earlier today from a friend and could not believe what happened. Bowen might have been a little strange, but on the whole, I thought he was an okay guy. I guess I was wrong. It goes to show you that predators can be lurking anywhere. I hope he pays.

I am shocked to hear that Mr. Bowen may have been charged with such a crime. I certainly hope that this is not just pure conjecture posted on the internet. Let's remember also that he is innocent until proven guilty. Mr. Bowen taught my son, and was a stand-out teacher. One of the many Fayette County teachers over the years that I have felt went the extra mile to instill a love of learning in his students. I was pleased when my son was assigned to Bowen's team, and do not regret that he was. I hope that the truth turns out to be far different than rumor has it.

Sources close to the investigation report that Bowen confessed to molesting his niece and that the crimes occurred when the child was between the ages of 3 and 9.

Apparently, there was an arraignment today and more charges are expected to be filed against him later today or tomorrow.

God bless the little child and be with the Bowen family. May Craig never be released to prey on another child.

Sad, sad story.

The archives here have an announcement of the Bowen Brothers gospel group performing at a local church a couple of years ago. One of them is a Craig Bowen. Same fellow?


Submitted by Sick of Fascists on Mon, 04/14/2008 - 6:41pm.

Who are these sources close to the investigation?

Submitted by JohnnyBGood on Mon, 04/14/2008 - 6:49pm.

... and get some answers for us all.

Submitted by Sick of Fascists on Mon, 04/14/2008 - 6:58pm.

Where was he arraigned?
To whom did he confess?
Where did you get your information?
You must have some source....

Submitted by JohnnyBGood on Mon, 04/14/2008 - 8:09pm.

Time will tell you more. I cannot compromise what sources I have.

What I have said has come from the best sources and I am sure we will hear more in the coming days.

Muddle: Yes, it is the same Craig Bowen.

This is a sad event for his entire family and the community at large. A predator was feeding among us and he should be dealt with severely.

Regardless, his family and the family and the community are all victims. My heart goes out to his family.

He wasn't there today according to my daughter. I asked her about Bowen and she said he was a "creepy, real scary, weird guy." Then I told her why I had asked:) Guess she has good instincts! She said students were wondering if he got fired/quit/whatever, but she hadn't heard about the molestation bit until now. Apparently, this went down today.

I did notice he is referenced in a Citizen story online back from 2001 and apparently was living in Senoia.

I can bet you your daughter would not have said that the week before any
of this news was spreading about. Yes, Mr. Bowen was weird, but weird in a nerdy sense, like all teachers. We used to laugh at his for his little nerdy phrases he's say like "Heavens to Mergatroid" and what not, yes, it was weird, but we didn't mean it weird as in this sense so you basically don't know the whole story.

Like I posted, she said it before I told her about Bowen's arrest. I just asked her about him and after she replied I then told her why I'd asked. So, you would have lost that bet:)

My child hopped in the car and told me about it. They have a sub taking over the class for the rest of the term. That's all we know.

I haven't heard anything about it but I do know who you are talking about; if anybody knows anything please speak up!

Submitted by crushonobama08 on Mon, 04/14/2008 - 8:26pm.

The teachers are telling students not to say anything about and the teachers arent telling the students anything besides he is not coming back and he has been arrested. I doubt their will be anymore information.
