LOS ANGELES (AP) - A Los Angeles teacher suspected of taking
bizarre bondage-style photographs of children in his class was
investigated in 1994 for allegedly trying to fondle a 10-year-old girl.
Sheriff's Sgt. Dan Scott tells The Associated Press on Thursday that the incident allegedly occurred in September 1993 but wasn't reported by the girl's mother to officials at Miramonte Elementary
School until the following January.
Scott says the school notified the Sheriff's Department, which
investigated 61-year-old Mark Berndt and sent the case to the Los Angeles County district attorney's office, which declined to file charges.
Berndt remains jailed on $23 million bail on felony lewd acts charges.

All you need to know is he has tenure and he's all caught up on his union dues.
Why did it take a year after the photos were discovered to make an arrest? This sick man should be thrown in the gen pop of the state prison, they'll take care of him.
