LOS ANGELES -- There was never any outward indication that anything was wrong in Mark Berndt's classroom at Miramonte Elementary School in south Los Angeles. School officials and law enforcement authorities say they never received any complaints about the third-grade teacher, who is accused of blindfolding students, putting tape on their mouths and taking photos of them with live cockroaches or a spoon full of semen.
The photographs, brought to the attention of authorities last January by a film processor, eventually led to Berndt's arrest on Monday on charges that he committed lewd acts on 23 boys and girls, ages 6 to 10, between 2008 and 2010.
The 61-year-old made his first court appearance on Wednesday. His bail was raised to $23 million from $2.3 million. His arraignme
I am a poor man and i make far less than either of my brothers yet I am the only one that is retired and I'm more satisfied with life and my circumstances than most people are with their life.
