In this powerful episode of Steph’s Case Files: Truth Be Told, we examine the disturbing and long-overlooked case of Joseph Dalton, a former Tennessee educator whose alleged misconduct spanned nearly twenty years. What begins as a series of complaints soon reveals a deeply unsettling pattern — one that was repeatedly ignored by those in power.
Through firsthand accounts, records, and investigative reporting, this episode uncovers how warning signs were missed, reports were dismissed, and children were left vulnerable for far too long. This is not just a story of a man—it’s a story of a system that failed to act.
