Gifted school teacher arrested on pornography charges (liked young boys, slavery and cannibalism)

Federal agents, tipped off by Canadian border agents, have arrested a teacher at the Long Island School for the Gifted in Huntington Station on child pornography charges, officials said today.  Michael Kelly Reiner, 46, of East Meadow, was charged with possession of child pornography, but federal officials said they were investigating whether he had sexually molested boys or acted out on sadistic fantasies.  Federal prosecutors said their investigation into Reiner began in August when he was stopped by Canadian officials crossing from the United States into Canada in Ontario.

"Reiner stated, in sum and substance, that he had a fetish for young boys, slavery and cannibalism, although he claimed that he did not actually practice cannibalism," a federal complaint said, quoting Canadian authorities.  "He further stated, in sum or substance, 'I like kids. They're fun. I'm a school teacher for grades four, five, six for Long Island School for the Gifted. I joke with them; I say I'm going to eat them, but I'm only joking; the kids always laugh,'" according to the complaint.

Federal officials here said they were still trying to determine whether Reiner's statements were part of a fantasy world, or he had acted on any of his impulses. Reiner is to be arraigned this afternoon.  The Canadians found thousands of images of young boys in "sexually provocative poses," the federal complaint said. The boys appeared to range in ages from 4 to 16 and wore bathing suits or underwear, the federal complaint quoted the Canadians as saying.  After he was stopped at the border, Canadian and federal agents went on Reiner's Web site, where he talked about running a camp where young males were trained as slaves and eaten.

I looked into this place for an elementary school. $11 grand a year. Cost more than my MBA. Went with Catholic school instead.
You would think someone at the school would have checked out his website!

[Berosus]

How long do you think it will be before the ACLU jumps in to defend this guy's "alternative lifestyle?"

[Neoliberalnot]

Just part of the homosexual lifestyle. What is the big deal? Sarc

Did you ever notice that when a Democratic office holder gets caught the media withholds their party affiliation in the report?

[Esther Ruth]

What a wonderful world - Now I have to also tell my young children to be careful for strangers who not only want to tie them up, rape them, murder them - but that the stranger also wants to maybe eat them after they're dead - and yes be very suspicious of adults who seem to like you to much, they're the weird evil ones.

Tree. Rope. Angry mob. Problem solved.

What do you do with a sicko like that if he's not actually broken any laws?""

Send him to live in San Franfreako. He won't even be noticed unless his civil rights are violated.

[Robwin]

Well, hey, there is this:"...although he claimed that he did not actually practice cannibalism..."
So what exactly is the problem here|?

[VOA]

If this teacher ever followed through on his cannabalistic fetish...
he should have gotten an appearance on "Most Evil" on The Discovery Channel.
(WARNING: The show id NOT for children or those of sensitive constitution.)

IIRC, Nathan Bar-Jonah, the pedophile with a cannibalism obsession
is interviewed in the
"Killer Lies" segment that airs again on Oct. 5.

The series has even gotten a page on Wikipedia:

He may or may not be prosecutable, but he is clearly unfit to be a teacher.

[Clintonfatigued]

"I say I'm going to eat them, but I'm only joking; the kids always laugh,"

That is SOOO not funny.

Hopefully, he kept his professional life and personal life seperate.

There; I said it! I'm with ya!

Way to go, S!

[butternut_squash_bisque]

Some People Just Need Killing™.

You are sooooooooooo right, RR!

[SunkenCiv]

Sure, but other than the cannibalism and slavery sentiments, oh, and the pederasty, I'm sure he's a fine teacher.

[AnnaZ]

Now I have to also tell my young children to be careful for strangers who not only want to tie them up, rape them, murder them - but that the stranger also wants to maybe eat them after they're dead

Actually, that's what I initially resorted to telling my young ones, that there are people out there that like to eat children. They wouldn't understand the rape stuff. Sadly, it worked. I hated having to scare them.

Web Site Operator Charged With Obscenity

Sep 27 5:46 PM US/Eastern

By JOE MANDAK

PITTSBURGH

A woman who authorities say ran a Web site that published graphic fictional tales about the torture and sexual abuse of children has been indicted on federal obscenity charges.
"Use of the Internet to distribute obscene stories like these not only violates federal law, but also emboldens sex offenders who would target children," U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan said Wednesday in announcing the charges against Karen Fletcher, 54.

Excerpts of her stories were available to all visitors to her Web site, while others paid to read whole stories, prosecutors said.

Fletcher was indicted by a federal grand jury Tuesday on six counts involving six stories about the kidnapping, torture, sexual molestation and murder of children 9 and under. The charges carry five years in prison each.

Fletcher, in a telephone interview with The Associated Press, said Wednesday that federal authorities "didn't like my site." She had no other comment on the charges.

In court papers, the FBI said Fletcher told agents she wrote most of the stories and posted contributions from other people.
