James J. Larkin, a former Tampa Day School principal, was sentenced
Thursday to a 10-year prison term as part of a plea deal in which he
admitted to sexually abusing two adolescent boys.
For more than 30 years, Larkin's reputation was that of a beloved private school leader. From 1978 to 2009, he was headmaster at St. John Greek Orthodox Day School in South Tampa, a position he left to helm the Tampa Day School. The school fired him last year after a 14-year-old boy, a student at Tampa Day, accused Larkin, 64, of molesting him one night while the principal was acting as a stand-in babysitter.
