Police allegedly saw the man dressed as a woman in an alley in a neighborhood known for drug trafficking and prostitution. He was reportedly dressed in a black leather outfit with fishnet stockings and fake breasts.
According to a statement from the Archdiocese of Louisville, Paul Schum, the principal of Bethlehem High School, requested personal leave from the school pending the outcome of the investigation. He denies the allegation.
