His middle name is Mark, I found him on the sex offender registry. Same county as the offenses; conviction date is off by one month if the article is accurate; number of offenses is less than quoted in the king5 article; the face however is the same as in SeattlePi; He is quite short, 5'06", just as he is described in the SeattlePi article.
I haven't found out yet if Judge Robarts terms as president and trustee of the respective organizations exactly coincide with the two incidents. But it is interesting and relevant.
I made a mistake, Schratchely has to do with Seattle Children’s Home. Robart was president of Seattle Children’s Home, not Children's Home Society of Washington. He was however also a Trustee of Children's Home Society of Washington, which Kenneth was a counselor at.
Clinical Director would likely have far more day-to-day contact with the kids, than a Director who's primary responsibilities might be fund raising, fiduciary, PR, operational, legal, etc.
would you care to explain the 'significant difference' between "clinical director" and "director" in reference to Seattle Children's Home. It Isn't obvious searching the difference.
"Director" implies an all-encompassing administrative position of leadership. "Clinical director" implies a leadership position limited in its scope to medical or research responsibilities.
Four 1/2 yrs? He should get 40 years. Stiff sentences will be a start and death penalty when there is a death involved. We are sick and tired of their disgusting habits.Well also, Insanity is doing the same crazy thing over and over. I rest my case.
Dr. Scratchley got 4 1/2 years for planning to rape a child and former counselor Kenneth Bell got only 6 months for raping multiple children. The discrepancy is alarming, especially considering the incidences occurred in the same state. I do agree that the law was far too lenient on both cases.

I'm pretty surethat Scratchley posed as a doctor but was not. He was just a social worker.

This article,http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/former-drug-counselor-gets-4-years-for-planning-sex-with-boy/ lists Scratchley as: 1.) drug-treatment counselor 2.) former manager of Matt Talbot Center in Belltown 3.) has 2 doctorate degrees from U of Wyoming

Every other article I've found, particularly from local papers, said Clinical Director or researcher. Significant difference.

sounds like dailymail is subtly downplaying the seriousness then.

Raping a young child should be grounds for the death penalty.

You are so very right. Over powering the defenseless is what they are good at.
