Accused teacher blindfolded kids for ‘tasting’ test, source says

The "game" conceived by Miramonte Elementary School teacher Mark Berndt, 61, was a tasting test during which he kept the children blindfolded, sources familiar with the investigation said.

Berndt is accused of committing lewd acts on at least 23 children, including blindfolding them and spoon-feeding them a white substance that authorities say was the teacher's semen.

Children told investigators that they were being enlisted in a tasting game, according to a district source who asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to speak. They were supposed to say whether the substance was sweet or salty and whether they liked the taste. The blindfolds were necessary, Berndt allegedly said, "because he was going to put on bright lights to take the pictures and he didn't want to hurt their eyes."

The photos were apparently taken in Berndt's classroom. The teacher frequently kept his door locked, which was against school policy, but not an uncommon practice among teachers who want to limit interruptions.

The alleged victims, photographed one at a time, apparently included his current and former students and possibly some he'd never taught. Berndt allegedly put the substance around the mouth of a child and asked the child to lick it off his or her lips.

"The students shared that they didn't like the taste of it," in the case of the liquid they described as salty, said the district insider.

District officials said they have no record of any child, parent or staff member ever complaining about Berndt or raising a concern.

Los Angeles schools Supt. John Deasy offered a swift condemnation Tuesday of Berndt.
"I find it disgusting, I find it reprehensible," Deasy told The Times. "I hope this man spends the rest of his life in prison."

Deasy said Berndt was removed from the classroom immediately after the district was notified of the allegations and he was fired by the school board at its next meeting.

The cache of 400 photos being reviewed by authorities includes head shots or pictures of smiling children and other more disturbing images of children gagged or blindfolded or both, according to sources who have seen them.

All of the children were fully clothed in the pictures. Some included disturbing images of children with a spoon near their faces; in the spoon was a milky liquid.

Sgt. Dan Scott of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said the photos were perplexing because the children were smiling and appeared not to be in distress.

Detectives went to his classroom, where they found a spoon in a trash bin that matched a spoon seen in the images.

They tested a substance on the spoon and found semen containing DNA that matches the teacher's, Scott said.

"We didn't have a felony until the semen was discovered," Scott said.

idk what to say even

The human mind really has no limits to the sick shit it can come up with.

It's just fucking weird as hell. The children were fully clothed, they were never molested it seems, and they were in no signs of distress. Just had a sick fetish of spoon-feeding kids his jizz. Weirdest case I've seen of its kind, it'll ironically probably make it that much easier to prosecute his disgusting ass.

They'll probably run DNA swabs through some of the kids mouths since semen can last a good 3~4 days in the gum area to try and match it.

....goddamnit seno

I hope this guy enjoys spending however long he gets in solitary. That's not even a good enough punishment.

[archibaldcrane]

Crazy it was going on for 5 years though. Guess that's what happens in South LA. If it had been Thousand Oaks or some shit it would've been found out day 1 when a kid said to mom "we played with the blindfold today!" and mom would've been like "what the fuck?"

Was wondering when this thread would get posted.

...really?

[archibaldcrane]

Can you imagine the little girl growing up to be a 15-year old sucking cock for her first time, and tasting that distinct but never-before-placed taste that she first experienced when she was 7?

Fucked up shit man.

[TheTaru]

At least he didn't fork them.

[Anton]

On the plus side, I hear inmates have a special place in their hearts for child molester/perverts

[Callisto]

...really?

Honestly, yes. Not saying it's the worst, just the weirdest. There's no like...visceral gratification, no physical contact, just the guy doing something really fucking gross.

On the plus side, I hear inmates have a special place in their hearts for child molester/perverts

Yeah, that guy will definitely be doing some taste testing of his own in the future.

[Yuri-G]

I just audibly went "AHHHH" when I read this, and my co-worker says "you ok?" I was just like "you... you don't want to know. you really, really don't want to know."

[Sup3rB4d]

Guy should have ate more fruits or something. Kids would have never complained of being spoon fed warm sweet liquid.
