I also have known Michael for 27yrs. He is an honest loving man. He is an outstanding citizen. I am certain that this is something he would never do. He is the type of guy that would give the shirt of his back to help someone out. Be strong Michael my prayers are with you too.

Diamond,
Where did you come up with this peeping tom accusation? I just did 1000 online searches every which way with his name regarding the topic and found nothing. Please post a link to corroborate this or nobody on this should believe your lies. If he was arrested, it would certainly be on the web for you to easily find.
I don't really know this guy but I do know the accuser and she is a horrible person. I can't imagine ever being in business with her. The only thing this guy is probably guilty of making a stupid decision to go into business with her in the first place.
Maybe you are "the accuser" as you seem to have quite an interest in continuing to smear this guy's name even further than this horrific newspaper already has.
From what I've heard, his business is twice as busy as it ever was with nutty lady and that Academy Auto School has fewer students now than they have registered vehicles.

this person sour grape sounds like it isM.Laroque putting on his own defense.How in God's name did he get into CCHS?I wouldn't send my kid to him if you paid me.Didn't they check him out?Isn't he married with kids?He is a sick bastard if he is.How would sour grapes have any clue as to what would be going on if it was not Mike Laroque.And why would anyone have a problem with an owner smoking outside.I have seen kids and an instructor smoking outdoors.

This guy hisses just like a snake! Maybe it is a business deal gone wrong, but why was he using his COMPANY credit card for this online dating or whatever it is, and at Foxwoods etc. and hotels! and what's the deal with the peeping in the bathrooms, Yeah, I'd trust him with my kid, NOT

This is a smear campaign! Anyone who has ever had any dealings with Mr. Laroque knows he is a trustworthy person. Being the parent of a former student of Mr. Laroque, not a family member as was suggested earlier, I can say that I have never had any misgivings about Mr. Laroque and his professional relationships with his students.
I think we all need to remember that these accusations have not been substantiated and that some people may be using this forum to furthur their smear campaign. It's easy to say hateful things about someone when you are hiding behind the anonymity of a forum like this. If these comments were made in public some might call it slander. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt and my support as I am sure many, many others are.

Confused is right it's all an act. Mr. nice guy not! There was a method to his madness, once a cheat always a cheat!

this guy has been nothing but a nice and compassionate person when he was my driving instructor. It's funny because he had mentioned to me many times while we were driving that he had left his ex-business on bad terms. This guy would drop kids off in Dracut, turn around and drop another off in Methuen, then make a third trip to Haverhill instead of making the kids wait at Central..He is such a nice guy and shouldn't be portrayed as bad

WOW! What happened to innocent until proven guilty? This is an accusation, not a conviction. All the negative comments here so far sound like they have been written by the same person...and I would be that it is one of the ex partners. Perhaps someone should investigate why those ex partners, who are instructors at their auto school, are smoking in their establishment, around kids. These bitter women need to get a life. They are upset that he started a competing business in the same town...and his is doing very well while theirs is falling apart.

How can he be working with kids if he had been arrested for being a peeper????? Something wrong here, that web site says it's for gay people, not the type of "guy" I want teaching my kid to drive. More investigating needs to be done for the safety of our children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
