VIERA — A former Brevard County school teacher said he never meant to hurt any of the children he shared sexual encounters with during a video-taped interview with police when first arrested on April 23, 2005.
Accused pedophile Daniel Cliatt told police he performed oral sex on students and had mutual masturbation sessions with them in his classroom after school.
“It wasn’t malicious,” he said. “I didn’t want to hurt them.”

SANTA ANA – Orange County prosecutors plan to consolidate the 25-count charges of multiple child molestation, kidnapping and child pornography production against alleged child sexual predator Terry Lee Shields with a child pornography case being investigated by Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department detectives.
The charges were filed Thursday, said Susan Schroeder of the Orange County district attorney’s office.
Shields, 51, of Buena Park, also appeared in Bellflower Superior Court Wednesday to set a Nov. 13 date of the preliminary hearing for charges stemming from his Oct. 4 arrest.
He was arrested at a Bellflower Internet cafe after employees allegedly noticed him downloading child pornography. Authorities said the investigation that followed yielded such graphic evidence of child predation that Detective Bryan Sirkel of the Sheriff Department’s Special Victims Bureau alleged that the former bus driver was “the scariest guy” he and his colleagues have encountered.

(CBS4) BOSTON The mother of an epileptic Lawrence boy who vanished from a local pool more than 30 years ago warns that other children are in danger if a Massachusetts judge or jury approves the upcoming release of the serial pedophile suspected in her son’s case.
“It would be a tragic mistake to release someone like that from prison,” said Faith Puglisi, whose 10-year-old son Andy vanished in 1976.
The main suspect in his disappearance, Wayne W. Chapman, has completed a 15 to 30 year prison term for the rape of two Lawrence boys in 1975 and has admitted molesting some 100 other boys in the years before his 1978 incarceration. Chapman plans to live in Massachusetts if he is released, court records show.
Mid-Southerners spoke out Friday, just one day after the federal government announced the arrests of dozens of unregistered sex offenders. “Operation Falcon III” in West Tennessee arrested people with outstanding warrants, including the capture of more than 100 unregistered sex offenders, the most of any area nationwide.
It was a scary fact for Aaron Leach, who learned unregistered sex offender Freddy Cyprian lived one block away from Caldwell Elementary, his daughter’s school. Cyprian was one of 103 unregistered sex offenders rounded up in the operation. “If he’s not registered, he could attack again,” Leach said.

Prague- A businessman who owns a Czech castle used for cultural celebrations is the latest in a string of German men charged with sexually abusing Czech children, a Prague newspaper said Friday. State prosecutor Jirina Vitovcova told the Pravo daily that Czech police assisted in the recent arrest by German authorities of Heinz Mueller, 62.
The suspect, part-owner of the Otin Castle near the Czech-German border, is the third German man charged since July with abusing children from poor Czech families.
Child prostitution and sex-abuse have been cited as serious problems for years in Czech towns along the German border.

DENVER — A deputy with the Denver County Sheriff’s Office is now in police custody, under investigation for alleged sexual assault on a child and aggravated incest.
Donald G. Rhodes, 41, was taken into custody at his home in Denver Friday morning, police said. An arrest warrant was issued Friday morning at the request of a detective with the Crimes Against Children unit, Aurora police said.
“Due to the fact that Mr. Rhodes is a law enforcement officer and had access to firearms, the decision was made by Denver police to use the SWAT team,” the Aurora Police Department said.
KUALA LUMPUR: A man who was said to have married his stepdaughter in Thailand was charged with incest yesterday.
The 48-year-old man, who works as a security guard at a department store here, was accused of raping his 18-year-old stepdaughter at their home in Lorong Raja Alang Satu here.
He allegedly committed the offence on Oct 7 at around midnight.
Under Section 376A of the Penal Code, a person is said to have committed incest if he has sexual intercourse with another person whose relationship to him is such that he is not permitted to marry her under the law, religion or custom.
The punishment is a maximum jail term of 20 years and whipping.
After the charge was read, the shabbily dressed man denied that he had committed the crime.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Afifuddin Hafifi objected to bail, saying the accused and the victim had resided in the same house before his arrest.
Judge Akhtar Tahir denied bail for the accused. He fixed Dec 4 for mention.
