The many faces of Robert “Bob” Wesley Judge - a serial s*xual predator music teacher at Etobicoke Collegiate Institute ECI from 1974-2009. Fired in 1984, became an attorney, then returned to teaching at the same school and committing the same crimes until Jon Riley had him removed from the school in 2008. Bobby was forced into retirement in 2009, but he has been collecting a retirement cheque ever since. He resigned while the Ontario College of Teachers were investigating him, so he remains in “good standing,” but his teaching certificate was canceled and he is never allowed to reapply to the OCT. Banned for life but paid for life. Where is the justice? He should be behind bars for the rest of his life.

When Jon Riley pressed charges against Robert Judge in 2008, the case went to pretrial in 2009. Judge Lloyd Budzinski was the pretrial judge. This photo is Lloyd’s fb profile. He is retired now and writes a column at Etobicoke South News: https://torontonewswire.com/from-the-bench-by-retired-judge-lloyd-budzinski
Lloyd’s 2 sons attended Etobicoke Collegiate in the 2000’s. How is this not a conflict of interest? After hearing 5 victims testify that serial s*xual predator Robert Judge s*xually assaulted them when they were students at ECI, judge Lloyd Budzinski determined that Robert Judge should surrender his teaching license and never teach again. But he didn’t allow the victims to go to trial. According to Robert Judge’s attorney, there was no admission of guilt. Lloyd, men like you who protect serial s*xual predators are the reason why they keep preying on boys. ECI was Judge and Strathdee’s hunting ground. These men went into teaching so they would have access to boys. They taught at ECI so they would have access to the boys of The Kingsway. These men don’t stop hunting. They need to be stopped. Do you think Robert Judge who assaulted dozens of boys for decades just stopped assaulting boys bc he was removed from ECI? Lloyd, you should have sent Robert Judge to prison.

Searching for ETOBICOKE COLLEGIATE ALUMNI: I’m writing on behalf of my brother Jon Riley who has been a missing persons since 2013. I’m hoping you can help.
For decades ECI music teachers Don Strathdee and Bob Judge molested students at Etobicoke Collegiate Institute. Judge s*xually assaulted my brother Jon Riley in 1982 when he was 15 years old. After Jon spoke out, we were asked to leave the school mid-way through grade 11. The agreement ECI made with my parents is that we would leave and a Judge would never teach again. But Judge ended up right back in the same classroom until 2010.
Jon and I worked for 28 years to get Judge out of the classroom. Instead of paying for their crimes, these pair of predators were canonized in the school. In 2013, my brother became a missing persons after winning a 2012 lawsuit against the Board of Education. Several victims came forward to support Jon. Amazingly, Judge remains untouchable. I’ve carried on the fight in Jon’s honor for the last 8 years. My goal is to erase Strathdee’s name from the ECI auditorium and the Etobicoke Hall of Fame, and to incarcerate Judge for his crimes. I’m hoping to replace Strathdee’s name on the school with musician Jeff Healey, who was Jon’s friend.
A successful attorney aka “The Priest Hunter” just joined our battle. He is determined to seek justice for ECI victims. Pls help us support the abuse victims of these crimes and ask them to join our fight. They deserve restitution. Pls share with your friends and family.
Robert Judge, is also an attorney. He lives in Toronto. According to many victims, Robert Judge also abused teenage boys he hired to work at his house. He also solicited staff from country clubs around Toronto to come to his house to host and plan private parties.
If you have any information about Strathdee or Judge you think may be relevant pls contact myself or attorney Rob Talach [email protected]
(519) 639-2807. Call or send messages anonymously if you want. All victim identities will be protected and remain confidential. By contacting Rob, you will help make my case credible. It’s a difficult story to believe that a pair of band teachers were able to assault students for decades.
The ECI band was legendary. I hope one day I am able to arrange a ceremony to rename the auditorium and celebrate all that was so good about the school. I hope you can help, Jaye Riley

2022 is the year my brother is going to be finally named a hero. I feel it in my bones. I cannot believe that 40 years after the incident, I am still begging people to come forward and speak their truth about what happened at ECI in the band. I cannot fathom the depth of courage it took for my brother Jon Riley to come forward. Police, ECI faculty, parents and even friends have protected a pair of serial s*xual predators for decades. 2022 is the year it stops.
Many of you have teenage sons and nephews now. Would any of you let them party with grown men? Donald Strathdee and Bob Judge groomed and abused our alumni for decades. Be a part of the team that stops revictimizing their victims. As long as Strathdee’s name is on the ECI auditorium, we are giving the school permission to perpetuate the lie. We cannot let them rewrite history. Stop celebrating s*xual predators.
Did you ever go to Judge or Strathdee’s residence? Ever attend an activity with these teachers outside of the school grounds? Ever get drunk on a band trip? Ever party in their hotel rooms? Ever know anyone who partied in their hotel rooms? Speak up. Bc as long as you stay silent, ECI can keep saying it didn’t happen. What you know matters. Drop an email to Attorney Rob Talach and tell him what you saw. [email protected]

For 40 years, I’ve worked to fix what happened to my brother at Etobicoke Collegiate Institute in 1982 and stop a pair of serial s*xual predators at our former high school. I’m still working to finish what my brother started. I’m just the sister of the victim. I can’t do it alone.
Etobicoke Collegiate Institute (ECI) has never responded to any of my correspondence - with the exception of this one email. It’s astonishing that the principal of ECI, refuses to speak with me. Refuses to investigate.
One of the things Jon and I were working on was getting a pe*****le’s name off the school auditorium. As long as Strathdee’s name remains canonized at ECI, the school and the faculty are perpetuating the lie. They are protecting and celebrating child predators.
The ECI principal as well as everyone at the Toronto School Board who refuses to speak to me is also revictimizing the dozens of victims. Refusing to investigate protects the perpetrators.
It is not possible that Robert Judge stopped assaulting boys after my brother had Robert Judge removed from ECI in 2010. The school board did nothing to protect those students for decades. They did nothing after Robert Judge resigned. If it wasn’t for my brother, Robert Judge would still be teaching and he would still be assaulting his students. Neither the school nor the police from 22 division have done anything to protect the community after Judge was forced to resign. The statute of limitations expired for my brother so he couldn’t have Robert Judge incarcerated for his crimes. But the other victims could’ve pressed charges. I don’t know why the school continues to keep quiet about these predator teachers. I don’t know why Robert Judge isn’t a registered s*x offender. He’s very likely still molesting boys. I would guess he is teaching boys as a private music tutor. Men like that don’t just stop. I really don’t know what it will take to finish what my brother started. Pls consider signing my petition so at least the school will be compelled to investigate.

I’ve written to the Bottings to let them know they donate in the name of a serial s*xual predator, but they didn’t respond to my note.

Here is the note Jon and I posted and messaged on fb, and the response from Bob’s attorney:
My name is Jon Riley. I went to Etobicoke Collegiate in 1981. In grade 10 a music teacher, Bob Judge, s*xually assaulted me in his home. I heard stories of another music teacher named Don Strathdee doing the same thing. If you have heard of anyone else that was assaulted by either of these teachers please contact the Toronto Police which are investigating [email protected] Also I am suing Bob Judge for damages and need other victims to come forward to help my case, victim or someone with information. In confidence you can email my lawyer at [email protected] The victims can go by a John Doe name and be represented by my lawyer at no costs and submit a claim too.
Jon Riley
WITH PREJUDICE
Dear Ms. Jellinek,
We have been retained by Robert Judge to assist him in protecting his reputation while the unfounded allegations against him are being reviewed by the authorities.
We are writing you to advise you that Jon Riley has posted a false and defamatory message on Facebook (see below) that indicates you are his counsel and that you have endorsed the Facebook posting.We have now confirmed that you do act for him and we demand that the Facebook posting and any other public allegations by Mr. Riley against Mr. Judge be removed immediately.
We trust that you are aware that similar allegations were made by Mr. Riley against Mr. Judge twice in the past; once in the late 1980's and again in the early 1990's. On both occasions the School Board concluded the allegations were without foundation. Accordingly, Mr. Judge has been entitled to teach at the Etobicoke Collegiate continuously since the 1970's up until Mr. Riley again made these false allegations.
While we understand that Mr. Riley has complained privately to the authorities, Mr. Riley has no right to make and disseminate public allegations without risking being liable in damages for defaming Mr. Judge.
To the extent that you are responsible for, or have endorsed, the public dissemination of these allegations our client will be holding you responsible for the considerable personal and professional damage to Mr.Judge's reputation and career.
Please advise Mr. Riley that out client also holds him responsible for the considerable personal and professional damage he has caused to Mr.Judge's reputation and career.
The allegations against Mr. Judge are entirely without foundation and have done, and continue to do, irreparable harm to his reputation.
Again, we demand on behalf of Mr. Judge that the Facebook and any other public allegations against Mr. Judge be removed immediately.
Our client reserves the right to put this email before a court in support of his claim for damages and /or costs against you or Mr. Riley if so advised.
I would be pleased to discuss this with you if that would be of assistance. In any event, please advise immediately if you and or your client are prepared to remove the Facebook posting and any other similar postings or public allegations immediately.
We would be grateful if you would acknowledge receipt of this email.

I’ve been working with a filmmaker who had planned to tell the story about my missing brother Jon Riley. However, they can’t include the part about pe*****le band teacher Bob Judge bc all of the court records are sealed. If you are a victim of the Etobicoke Collegiate Institute (ECI) band teachers and/or you were in the courthouse during the criminal proceedings of Jonathan Riley v Robert Judge in August of 2008, pls reach out. If you were in the music classes at ECI, pls reach out. You can remain anonymous. Today, I made a video to explain the project that my brother and I were working on when he disappeared.

After my brother reported band teacher Bob Judge for the 1982 s*xual assault, we were asked to leave the school. The deal: we leave ECI, Bob leaves ECI -and Bob never teaches again. Bob went to law school. My brother and I became high school drop outs. Bob returns to teach band at ECI. Here Bob is taking the ECI band to Europe in 2005. It took my brother 28 years to get Bob removed from ECI. Men like Bob don’t change. Bob continued to r**e his students for 28 years after my brother reported Bob.
Men like Bob don’t stop. Bob, a serial s*xual predator, has never paid for his crimes. Don’t you think ECI has a moral responsibility to protect the community? Who are Bob’s victims in 2022? Just look at his predatory behavior on Twitter. Bob thinks he’s untouchable. ECI should’ve pressed charges. Instead, ECI keeps telling the lie that the assaults didn’t happen. ECI is protecting Bob.

I wonder what it will take for students, parents, and faculty to believe that Strathdee and Judge are serial s*xual predators? These pe*****les didn’t just groom the victims. They groomed the Etobicoke Collegiate Institute faculty, the principal, the parents and the community. If they were serial killers, would students still stand behind these teachers? Wake up. The only reason they became teachers was to gain access to boys.

When my brother Jon Riley tried to get serial s*xual predator ECI band teacher Bob Judge out of the classroom, he was always met by a wall of people who protected the pe*****les. When we were asked to take our truths down from Facebook, it gutted my brother. I wrote a letter to the attorney who wrote the letter protecting the pe*****les. The attorney never responded, but I hope he read it. He is just one more person in a long line of people who victimize the victims.

An almost identical high school tragedy. So many lives affected. But with a different ending. One teacher is imprisoned.
How is Bob Judge still free? Without accountability, there can be no healing. The trauma festers like an open wound.

For decades band teachers Don Strathdee and Bob Judge molested students at Etobicoke Collegiate Institute. Judge s*xually assaulted my brother Jon Riley in 1982 when he was 15 years old. I’m not sure if you know that after Jon spoke out, we were asked to leave the school mid-way through grade 11. We both went to SEE school and we both struggled to finish school. I went from ECI honour roll to high school drop out. The agreement ECI made with my parents is that we would leave and Judge would never teach again. But Judge ended up right back in the same classroom until 2010.
Jon and I worked for 28 years to get Judge out of the classroom. Instead of paying for their crimes, these pair of predators were canonized in the school. In 2013, my brother became a missing persons after winning a 2012 lawsuit against the Board of Education. Several victims came forward and most were from the 2000’s.

I’m hoping to replace Strathdee’s name on the school with musician Jeff Healey, who was Jon’s friend. A successful attorney aka “The Priest Hunter” just joined our battle this week. He is determined to seek justice for ECI victims. Pls help us support the abuse victims of these crimes and ask them to join our fight. They deserve restitution. Pls share with your alumni.

It’s a difficult story to believe that a pair of band teachers were able to assault students for decades. These teachers normalized hanging out and partying at their personal residences. Pls let Rob know any details - even letting him know about the parties you attended.
The ECI band was legendary. I hope one day I am able to arrange a ceremony to rename the auditorium and celebrate all that was so good about the school. I hope you can help, Jaye Riley
