Police Say Choir Director Failed To Report Abuse

Columbus Police say the director of the Ohio State Fair Youth Choir failed to report sexual abuse allegations involving his assistant and choir members last year. But police say 67-year-old Charles Snyder did report that his assistant, Zachary Ruppel, asked prospective members for nude photographs last year. Snyder was suspended from his position after he made the report.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
