More details were revealed Thursday morning about a Hilton Central School District principal who allegedly sexually abused nine pre-teen students on school grounds during school hours over the past four years.

Kirk Ashton, 51, of Rush, who started in 2004 as principal of Northwood Elementary School and last week was placed on administrative leave, is charged with six counts of first-degree sexual abuse and five counts of second-degree course of sexual conduct against a child, both felonies, and nine counts of endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor, the New York State Police said during a news conference.

So, what do you say to your child if he or she asks you about the case? Should you even wait for your child to ask?
