Project Veritas has released undercover footage and documents obtained from the American Federation of Teachers Michigan affiliate office in Lake City, which reveals that the union protected a teacher after accusations of sexual misconduct with a seven- or eight-year-old girl arose. The now former teacher was never charged or arrested and denied the accusations against him, and did not lose his teaching certificate. Undercover footage of AFT Union Representative, Johnny Mickles, reveals how AFT and the Lake City Michigan school district defended the alleged child molesting teacher. Redacted documents from the AFT office, which are available on projectveritas.com, corroborate the events.

Project Veritas is run by James O’Keefe, whose undercover investigations are controversial because they are conducted under false pretenses. AFT-Michigan claimed that Project Veritas operative Marisa Jorge created a fake identity as a University of Michigan education student and got an internship with the union in the summer. AFT-Michigan claimed that Jorge gathered confidential information during unlawful surveillance.
