Naked, cartwheeling teacher gets nine months

Sydney Morning Herald ^ | 9 Feb 2006

[Fair Go]

A male teacher who performed naked cartwheels in front of young female students during a school camp has been jailed for five months. Warren David Schneider, 37 of Brisbane, pleaded guilty in the Queensland District Court to seven counts of indecent treatment of a child under 16 years under care. He was today sentenced to 15 months' jail suspended after five months. The court was told Schneider was an art teacher at a private school in Brisbane's south when he committed a series of sexual offences during 2002 against three girls, all of whom were then in Year 7 and aged 12. Crown prosecutor Maita Aylward said during a school camp at Moreton Island in October 2002, Schneider caught two of the girls sneaking out of their tent at night before taking them to his tent where he gave them bourbon and initiated a game of "truth or dare". After the girls refused a dare to go down to a nearby beach and take their clothes off, he gave the dare to himself, Ms Aylward said. Despite it being dark at the beach they could still see he was naked as he performed cartwheels, the court heard.

The slide towards "feel-good liberalism" and acceptance of the type of behaviour displayed by this teacher should not be tolerated. A session in the slammer is always warranted.

What in the HELL?!

[Cementjungle]

Please, no pictures!

[Fair Go]

Are you kidding. Even the "left wing" Sydney Morning Herald does not publish such pictures.

ooooo - kay

[HiTech RedNeck]

Less than half a year in jail and probation finished before two. Here in the USA he would be fed to the lions for not just this but the liquoring up of the kids. (Unless he was, perhaps, in the state of Varmint.)

[Gordongekko909]

He'd get five minutes, if that.

[HiTech RedNeck]

If he could somehow get it treated as sensitivity to gays education, the liberals would give him a medal.

[Fair Go]

He'll never teach again and in a country of 20 million there is nowhere to hide when released from the slammer.

[Gordongekko909]

No, but he's a guy and the girls were girls. No homosexual sympathy for him. Although he'll get plenty of that behind bars.

[beaver fever]

Well obviously he can't handle Wild Turkey.

He could have just quit his job but chose career suicide instead.

Gotta give the girls credit.

"He is such a geek. He should be fired, out of kindness. Fo Sho!!!!!!!!"

[derllak]

Speak for yourself! Pictures, please! :)

[Gordongekko909]

This is a guy who gave some teenage girls booze, put the moves on them, and FAILED. Something tells me that he isn't particularly hawt.

[killjoy]

naked cartwheels... huh huh... huh huh...

[Light Speed]

Looks like da Vinci went to the beach too : )

"In another incident during the camp, Schneider put on a pair of girl's underwear and told the girls he was "going to come in them", Ms Aylward said."



"He had also asked the girls during an after school maths lesson what "frigid" meant before depicting the four stages of "frigidity" on the blackboard using stick figures in promiscuous and sexual poses."


"One of the girls said he had also "grabbed their arses" and pulled their bra straps in the school's dark photography room, Ms Aylward said."

"Defence solicitor Frank Lippett likened his client's "immature behaviour" to a "pubescent male"."



Sounds like doing naked cartwheels was one of his more normal actions. Why was that the headline? This guy sounds pretty messed-up in the head.

[Dallas59]

These guys did cartwheels last Sunday...

[Fair Go]

Apparently the judge was of the same view. His photograph and the schools where he taught have just been shown on a major news channel. Not good advertising. He'll never live this one down.

[derllak]

Well if he's not hawt, at least it'll give me something to laugh at! :)

[I Drive Too Fast]

That teacher needs to watch what is hanging out down under.

I don't think he will be doing cartwheels in jail.

[Obadiah]

Has anyone seen Scott Ritter lately? He's not vacationing inder an assumed name is he?

[AngelesCrestHighway]

They should enjoy his cartwheel act in the prison yard....

[ferri]

i am speechless. but i would kill him. lol

[Fair Go]

Do they go to prison for this type of activity in New Zealand?

[NZerFromHK]

I would say, in "example schools" (read: anything of left-leaning liberal elites' fads go) behaviours like such will be rewarded.

[Fair Go]

As he was an art teacher, perhaps such actions would be classed as works of art.

[ovrtaxt]

Please, no pictures! Oh, come now. We must have some pictures!

[ovrtaxt]

LOL!! Scott Ritter haha

[null and void]

He looks like a girl...

[ovrtaxt]

oookay, I tell you every ting.

He look alika man.

[iowamark]

The court also heard he had dared one of the girls to kiss him and when she refused he asked "why not?" - only for her to reply "because you are a teacher".

Not any more!

"What in the HELL?!"


Yup, that pretty much sums up my reaction as well. It must have been quite the unsettling sight.

[Past Your Eyes]

I was afraid it was going to be my cousin. But then he would probably be doing it in front of the boys, not the girls. And he's too old to do cartwheels anyway.
:(

MMmmmmMMmmhhh...... Bourbon.

[rabidralph]

LOL! Gotta love Miss Swan!

[Galveston Grl]

Because we have not stood up to perverts talking dirty to our kids in the schools in the name of sex ed and homosexual tolerance, the perverts now think they sexually own our kids and can do whatever they want.

It is their "right" to take their sex out of the closet and into the streets and all public spaces. It is their duty to sexually manipulate/educate other people's children.

[wildbill]

Sounds like he was balls to the wall and all...er...flags...flying.

[spiffy]

Now there's a plan!

History Questions:

1) When was the jock strap invented?

Ans. --- 30 minutes after male performed naked cartwheels!

2) When was the Bra invented?

Ans. --- 30 minutes after young las got on trampoline!

[toddlintown]

I never could do cartwheels.

"Defence solicitor Frank Lippett likened his client's "immature behaviour" to a "pubescent male"."

That’s why we don’t hire “pubescent males” to oversee our little girls alone at camp, and why we punish them when they revert. Bank robbery may also be likened to “pubescent male” behavior, but that’s not an excuse.

[Dashing Dasher]

Pictures? Not so sure about that one!

The bizarreness never ends!

[derllak]

Well why not? The guys are always begging for pictures! Why can't us girls see some hot pics too? Or funny, whichever the case may be! I want hot guy pics! And lots of 'em! :)

[Dashing Dasher]

Have you ever seen a naked man do a cartwheel?





Ick.
