#Crime #Prison #Cleveland
His attorney looked like he wanted no part of this man
Probably so...
He did it for the money 💰
Well there’s little he can do. It was virtually impossible to win. And when someone’s convicted and sentence to hard time, it’s awkward to say the least. A long goodbye is not always the comfort needed or wanted.
@@0IIIIII That's true, but usually I see them at least put a hand on their shoulder. This dude glanced, and then looked like he was just a spectator. I believe he knew he was guilty and was disgusted by him. That's a tough gig, to say the least!
😂
I feel so horrible for them. I’m glad they spoke up and got him off the street.
Life in prison is not appropriate
@@rockon8174 I know they should have given him the death penalty. His state probably doesn't carry it, so life in prison will do.
@@bellaapple2166 Karma will be working in many ways for Terence Greene. His dance card will be filled each night.
@@HeebabbaHoobahstankfosho enough with the karma crap already
@@JohnRangel-if2qm do you need a tissue, a hug, or a safe space?
If only Clergy from Churches ⛪️ were held accountable too.

Saw a video yesterday. I think it's the Baptists (?) starting a database now to keep perps from hopping from church to church. A pastor pitched the idea in 2009 but it was rejected until now. 14yrs too late for many. Anyway... But the perps won't be lost too long... they'll just end up in the GenderQ cult.
stop the whataboutism
Well if he a black clergyman idk man he might be a goner. The entire fleet of buses he’ll be under 😂😂
well said. why dont they get life sentences?
It warms my heart to see criminals get sentenced to the fullest extent of the law
Doesn't do a thing for victims.
@@kewGarden exactly
Only cause he's black
@That Casino Life Black nature is deviant
Blacks only get sentenced like this!! White priests play with lil boy 5 years
His own lawyer just looked back at him like he was filth. "What do you expect!" I am finally done with you!
May he rot in jail.
Or inside his own disgusting body.
That's the plan..
*Prison
The prisoners will definitely deal with him! 👊🏽
@@dollyglowdoll2752they taking his boootey!!
His own lawyer was even giving him that look like he’s garbage and got what was coming to him

@Teressa Stuckey he's an npc.
His attorney can still do his job and make sure his client gets a “fair” trial but still be disgusted with him
If he works for a firm, and they had him the case he has to take it. Usually, they at least Pat them on the shoulder. And he definitely knew he was guilty, but he’s paid to defend him.
Facts!
His lawyer is looking like good riddance.
Why is it so hard for people to keep their hands to themselves?! How hard is it?!
Harder than you'll ever know. So so hard.
Some people struggle with impulse control. Unfortunately many are rewarded for it. Gen Alpha is shaping up to be world class indulgers of their impulses.
Sadly men are very emotional and can’t handle their control so they commit these horrible acts you see them daily in the news
@@Following_the_money Yep. Something like that. Strap in when hormones hit.
@@Following_the_money Wooo buddy. Hope their school isn't one where the good teachers quit. Lol
Ppl like this deserve life! They need more judges like this!.
@Corinthian boys*^
No
@Diiamond
Not even life in prison will equal justice for the lives he ruined. Unless other inmates take his bootyhole like he did those girls.
@@RandomUsername010 don’t care as long as he can’t continue the same behavior.
@@RandomUsername010 he will get what’s coming to him in prison. It’s a guarantee.
Good grief, they said this happened from 1998 to 2019. This man got away with it for over 20 years. The number of victims could be from the hundreds to thousands. There's no amount of prison time on earth that would bring justice to the amount of lives he ruined. Unless his fellow inmates takes his booty hole for the rest of his life.
Karma will be working in many ways for Terence Greene. His dance card will be filled each night.
they’re gonna run up in him for sure, don’t worry about that.
Long time
They will and he gone give it away,look what he been doing with boys for over 20 years
@@HeebabbaHoobahstankfosho lol yes -
They need to charge the school too! This is ridiculous!
He most absolutely would have done it again and for as long as he was able to. This type of behavior doesn't just stop. It escalates and becomes increasingly violent. Glad he is off the streets and hopefully his victims are now able to start the healing process. The bad man is gone.
It’s an epidemic to these common types of crime happening
For every ten that report it, another likes it. Sad but true.
Oh NO, Fleece Johnson all over again 😮
Those type of ppl need to get taken out not just life in prison. Then again I hope he gets special attention from the inmates
He could still do it again in prison if he is not in LOCKDOWN!
So sad for all the victims. And those who probably didn't come forward. Hopefully they can start the healing process. Thankful they had courage to come forward. That takes so much to do!
You still can’t accuse a white man of anything, Brett Kavanaugh proved that
Besides, if the only way you can “heal” is to see a person being tortured and abused then maybe you’ve got more problems than just being a victim
Such a monster 🤮
Mama economy…
Such a monster 🤮
It's always good seeing you in the comments Tay
Chocolate RAIN!!
Didn't expect to see you here
Castration should have been on the table. 😡
Agreed. I honestly think that would help predators to stop abusing others. Why should their humanity be considered when they don't consider their victims or their families?
@@mariejae because we are better than them. We shouldn't abandon our humanity just because they did
This is so sad. I was in dance and many other activities as a kid. I know my coaches and instructor were good people but it's sad people like him have to make you cautious that not all of them are good people. It tarnishes the goodwill and passions of others that truly like teaching and helping kids.
@Jae Me SO TRUE. And as the American nuclear family continues to disintegrate, as there are fewer and fewer fathers in the home, there is a REAL NEED for MEN...MALE TEACHERS, COACHES, MENTORS to be involved in children's lives, especially boys. BUT this generation of MODERN WOMEN are going to have to start getting married, staying married and keeping fathers in their children's lives. A lot of these predators prey on single mother households. Likewise, MEN are going to have to start CHECKING THEMSELVES. Like what TURNS SO MAN MEN "ON" ABOUT CHILDREN? This in no longer an anomaly but is FAR TOO COMMONPLACE now
I taught in the performing arts for 34 years. In my younger days, I could have been in that horrible situation with my director. I thank God it never happened. I had been informed of this behavior by others - that helped me stay on guard, but unfortunately, I didn't say a thing to anyone else.
Shame on the school that ignored the report and hired this monster anyway.
It's all about the talent and the school's image. Doesn't sound any different than what people will/or have to do to "make it" out there.
God is the most pro child abuse character that there is! How many churches include systematic child abuse?
I'm so glad god looked out for you and not for the others. Must be part of his divine plan.
He was active from 1998 to 2019, his behavior was basically an institution onto itself! I can imagine someone saying “that’s just how he does things, we just work around it”. Now they’re going give everyone NDAs and sweep both him and the victims under the rug.
You thank God because you don't have it worst than others ? So basically it's okay for others to be abused to keep your sense of balance and comfort In check correct ? Thank God not more kids are tortured...which they are so not thank God
@@randbarrett8706 the people of the church and the church of God are 2 separate things isnt it?
8 different woman from over a decade?!?! Justice should be swiftly. Delaying justice delays healing for the victims
It wasn’t women all his victims were young teenage black boys
They were all boys
He got another job. 😮 He gonna have a time prison. The person who did the background check has to be looked into next. And the principal
Being a dance instructor, this infuriates me. Those dancers probably will hate their bodies or NEVER dance again. Our bodies are our prized possessions. Our bodies speak for us when words can't do much. Disgusting.
He was stupid for taking advantage of those teens! He also was stupid to think that he would not be brought to justice!
Should be death penalty.
When will the people that move these predators around be found guilty?
Hope he gets the same treatment in prison so he knows how it feels.
Karma will be working in many ways for Terence Greene. His dance card will be filled each night.
He's going to the right place... creep 😠
Poor young boys.
Boys ?
@@marvin469yea boys! Did you not listen to the video????
@@PassportBrosAndBlondeManWeaves actually I just went straight to the comments section lol.
@@jewsrimposters1418 You need help!
@kalergi Plan It must be the lice. There is no way a group can remain 13% for hundreds of years. And you’re the crime starters so they learned how to be criminals from your people!
I hope the victims are able to heal. ❤
I'm so sad to hear something like this once again,I hope those young people got the help they needed because of this Monster
And now imagine getting pregnant by him, and having the state force you to have his baby.
I don't think he likes 🐱
Name one state that would
@@AA-BB Indiana.
yup. Society will force women to give birth to unwanted children, only for them to live a life full of misery and rejection, because it's the "right thing to do".
Hey when the genders are reversed it is barely prosecuted
As a black man in America...I'm soooo disappointed in this Brother
The way his attorney looked at him like filth is hilarious.
Even while he's in protective custody for the rest of his pathetic life he'll have to watch his back
Depending on where he goes that will not save him😂
I want to know what penalties were given to the school? ⚖️
Now cut it off!
He is sick. Smdh. He needs life in prison.
Good riddance. Sad he got away with it for so long
This is exactly why I don’t allow my grandson to take a karate class. He asks me all the time, but I have to work. If I can’t be there to sit in on the lesson, it isn’t going to happen… If I can’t trust men to be honorable and have integrity with their women, how can I trust them with a child?
Karate might come in handy if he ever needs to defend himself against a grown man.
@@knitro9043> It wouldn’t be for self defense, the kid already knows how to fight. It would be more for an activity.
You have to he around to monitor. I think martial arts would be a great skill but with how scary people are, you always have to watch and monitor your kids and even their friends ❤
If you don't trust men do you still trust a women when the same thing could very well happen?
Women can be just as predatory. Why are you making this a man issue only?
Death penalty.
Close the school down and use the money for the victims
I know someone involved in this case, I'm glad they got the justice they deserve here
No yah don’t
@@TrollAlert-xv6qgthey prolly do the city not as big as u think
They give him life, but I've seen numerous cases with women sexually assaulting and/or molesting their own kids they only get a few years the double standard is sickening
This is true and sad. They are all equally evil scum.
I've seen numerous cases of male rapists walking away scott free....whats your point. Only thing sickening is child rapists weirdo.
Amazing.
Should have been given a capital punishment.
Wow. Imagine trusting someone with your kids and they do this. Why are people so atrocious
He’s going to have a lot of dance partners in general population.
Lol😂😂😂😂😂
What a coincidence! The same is about to happen to him where he’s going.
He won't mind -
Hopefully he serves his term, and his fellow inmates treat him as he should be, according to his ways.
His off button should be pushed the only fitting punishment for someone that does this to kids .
Ohhhh goodness lock him all the way up!!! I hope his victims find healing
Imagine being hired as a defense attorney for this guy and you only do it because you really needed the money.
You don't know how this work. Sometimes they are appointed by the state and they have no option but to take the case to give a "fair trial" and convict the offender properly
Evil never wins.
So very sorry for the victims, and glad he is getting exactly what he deserves, he actually deserves worse. His attorney is very detached from him, Good!!
If he is guilty, he should go to jail. However, having worked in a school system and in youth summer programs, I know that students will lie as well and conspire to get rid of someone because they will not conform to their wishes in some matter.
Among other reasons, that's why I left the school system just shy of completing my doctorate.
yes, I have seen cases where, students not liking a teacher, have gone and lied to the police about them . This man is innovent.
@@jaymanilla289 according to what concrete factual evidence? Detective.....
@@jaymanilla289 only for one child that lies there’s 10 that didn’t lie. Cut it out the likelihood of them lying is very low plus he knew he did it and plead guilty
@Skinny.pretty.girl101 so if ten people say the earth is flat you automatically believe them, lol.
@@jaymanilla289 even if the kids did lie which I doubt happened the likelihood of him actually doing it is very likely. Now if he was a women I’d question the kids lol
From 1998 to 2019 is Literally unreal some body especially the young kids should have told there parents
Your acting like it’s that simple. It’s not
The parents were told and he was reported but nothing was done.
Video stated that he had been reported per his background check, but the school ignored or completely neglected it.
I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
How does this happen at the school?
My goodness
How are there people like that because this is the world we live in it isn't rainbows and butterflies it's a hard sick world we live in
They gone turn his 🍑 into a hallway 🚪 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
wow this is horrible and that school should be shut down
That's so sick!
I'm glad he will never be able to hurt innocent children or anyone at all.
He is gonna get tore up in prison. Good.
I wish the victims of this monster strength, courage and hope. And may the perpetrator suffer a very long winter of discontent.
I’m so embarrassed for this man. We fight hard as black people to be respected as human beings and here comes this man disgracing the whole black community. 😤
They come in all colors
🥊I hope the brothers take good care of him in prison because supposed to know better
He represents himself, not the Black community. Don’t feel ashamed, there are terrible people in every race.
@@ricarellan naw , that only works for wppl lol.
Blk ppl get judged as a whole. That's an old phenomenon
@@marvin469 Karma will be working in many ways for Terence Greene. His dance card will be filled each night.
365 years is overkill, considering people these days rarely live to be 100 years old. I mean, unless this dude is a vampire immortal, then in 365 years, he will still look the same as if he not aged at all
His sentence has NOTHING to do with your commenrary, or your perceptions.
Those boys will never be the same smh
How do u know it was boys
They are heros for speaking up 💖🙏
Looking for a pay day most likely . They could of reported it when it happened
@@Maximus90277 they were probably scared and embarrassed then
@@Maximus90277 and some knight you are don't give a crap about justice, people should be punished for their crimes no matter how long ago it happened
Why am I not surprised that it was a brother who got such a harsh sentence?
Brother are criminally Inheren

Glad justice was done
Imagine all the lives that was saved from keeping him off the street !
Death penalty
Now let’s give Biden life in prison
You first 😂🤣
But the catholic priest and church is running BUCK AZZ WILD. 😂
Justice!
Ridiculous!
They probably did the same thing to him when he attended school when he was young and on and on he got caught what about the rest that weren't caught.
he's rational and he made a choice.
Bs he did it because he is a predator
Who would tryst their kids with a guy like that?
why, LEAVE OUR CHILDREN ALONE
It's good news to see his sentencing. Even then the trauma that this still children then is something they have to live with their entire life. It's beyond crazy that someone you put the outmost trust with your kids would do this to them.
I'm lost.. Where were their parents???
Death penalty punishment. And 3 million???? That’s it? How about 10 mill for each student. This is horrendous. Holy…
I’m almost certain the kids were African American. Had the children been white the settlement would have been way mor …awww you know.🤔😒
There isn't any amount that's enough heal the r*pe victim.
Disgusting man, so glad this crime gave him life. Finally full justice for these young students
How can they be sure he did this
I hope the other inmates will punish him in prison.
Gosh can you imagine how many men in prison will have their way with him? He doesn't stand a chance behind bars.
He probably like it,based on who he was targeting....
I hope he ready for the same treatment.
That's crazy
He is going to prison? That's paradise for someone like him.
And probably for lazy people who can't pick up their mess like my lil bro. 😅
What i don't get how could he get away with it for so long? Thats crazy
Evil human, needs actual punishment, when will society just put them down
How long is this happening?
Life in prison isn't enough.
"JUSTICE"!"JUSTICE"!"JUSTICE"!
Life changing events for the victims. God Bless 🙏🏻
Respect,speak up when it first happened,glad he’s held accountable after all these years
its very hard to do that especially as a kid, you are frozen and in complete shock.
@@bronzb.1499 Respect,lil courage all it takes/hurting a person that way is wrong n it starts young/continues on,on,on/that’s why it’s good to let world know so they won’t hurt someone else,counseling n family by their side,long,long healing process and most high
There’s definitely more men that didn’t come forward.
I'm sure my interpretation of 'life in prison' is different from what it means to the courts and justice system.
😱😱😱 Horrifying!
Please, life sentences for all rapists and child molesters. Too many of these demons serve little or no time and go on to hurt many lives.
Justice 👏👏
That school needs to be held accountable for ignoring the background check.
