On Friday, 49 year old Martin Springer was arrested for allegedly sexually abusing students over a three year period, reports
The Guardian. Two students accused Springer of touching them inappropriately. Springer is being held on $2 million bail.
In an
L.A. Times article, a neighbor of Springer's said, "I've never seen him with children ... he is always by himself. I can't believe he was arrested."
Four days prior, another male teacher from the same school, 61 year old
Mark Berndt, was arrested for allegedly abusing 23 children aged 6 to 10 from 2005 to 2010. Berndt was suspected after a photo processing employee of a local CVS drugstore found rather lewd photos of blindfolded children with their mouths taped shut.
After a year's worth of investigation, details arose of Berndt's alleged behavior with the children, including making them
eat his own semen from a spoon.
Berndt was a 32 year employee of the school and is being held on $23 million bail.
