Exploited by piano teacher

HARRISBURG, Penn. — The Pennsylvania Supreme Court upheld a piano teacher’s sentence after he sexually assaulted one of his students while working as a music professor at Temple University while she played for him. He appealed the preclusion of an expert witness, but the court properly ruled the testimony would be irrelevant; he wanted another professor to say that, because she would not have passed the student based on her playing, the student had motive to fabricate a story of sexual assault.
