Zachary Collins
explains alleged sex scandal prompted his potential OUSD campaign

Moffat's
move for re-election comes two days after Zachary Collins pulled papers to run
for the Area 4 trustee seat.
In
his twenties, in 2010 Collins had declared in the California Lt. Governor race,
but then withdrew. In an email to Orange
Net News, Collins explained what led him to declare then later withdraw from
the race:
Yes
I did take a shot for the Lieutenant Governor position for our great State I
did so on the basis that all parties should never let any seat go un-contested.
That is my moral standpoint. If you allow an incumbent to win by default or
slide back into office with such ease, there is no campaigning and certainly no
light shed on key events that the public must be made aware of. Once a more
qualified candidate did throw his hat in the ring, I quietly and without
hesitation stood down.
Collins
further explains in his email that an
alleged sex scandal that he reported to someone in Orange Unified, but did not get a response to until 4 years later after hinting about an election, is what prompted his campaign for OUSD Trustee.
The
Collins' email states that the OUSD Board "did nothing about it, let alone
respond, for almost 4 years" to an alleged sex scandal involving teachers
and students. He writes that " Our board has explicit knowledge
and details that I (and many others) have provided to them about". Collin's in his email states he
provided "concrete evidence including photographic evidence". His email states that:
They
only responded, within an hour I might add, when I emailed them saying "I
understand 4 out of the 7 seats are up for re-election, good luck." That
shows their true colors and character, which is why I am running.
The
Collin's allegations of course go beyond a political attack and leave many
questions unanswered. Collins' email does not indicate who in Orange Unified he
reported his allegations to nor what the eventual alleged response was 4
years later. Nor does Collins indicate whether he reported his allegations to law enforcement authorities, which of course
seems like a logical step in an alleged sex scandal-complete with photographic
evidence.

The
four year grand conspiracy cryptically outlined in the email from the self-
identifying Tea Party enthusiast Collins sounds akin to the many conspiracy theories
professed by another potential OUSD candidate who has also pulled papers to run
in November, former OUSD Trustee Steve Rocco.
Is this a political slate in the making?
