I am amazed by this. He was my teacher in 5th and 6th grade. I worked on the sound system with him in 8th. He was creepy, but I never expected anything like this. Although I did once run into him at compusa when he was buying a new large HD (now I know what it was used for).

Gifted school teacher arrested on pornography charges

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.

 

Authorities said agents of the U.S. Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement who obtained consent from Reiner to search his home and school computer.

thats just sick.

[oldfett]

Something similar happened at one of my old schools, except that a female teacher was having a relationship with a female student. Sure makes your school system look great!

[martymcfly]

It is a private school.

[oldfett]

ahhhh, well then... I am sure next years applications should be in great numbers! jk .It is sad though that this one incident from one person will really put a hamper on that schol. When people talk about that school from now on all that everyone will remember was that one teacher, and they will not want their children there. Everyone always remembers bad news, sad but true.

[RichMayo]

So, do you remember anybody going missing??

[bigred]

sad part is the problem has been removed and people will still make it an issue in regards to sending thier kids there.

and that my friend is why they need public and brutal executions of this type of offender.

 

scare the others into re thinking thier actions.

Personally I'm discusted, not only with these people's actions, but the punishments they get especially here in Canada. Personally I believe that if you commit a sexual crime against a child, or are in posetion of child pornography, that you should atleast get 25 years in jail, and the punishments should go all the way up to execution. Society shouldn't stand for these sickos, and should beat some sense into them. Sorry if I'm rambaling, but this kind of stuff just gets me riled.

If my teachers ever said "I will eat you.", that would arouse in me great suspicion because what kind of sick joke is that? I agree Bigred that public hangings would go a long way with these types of people, in addition to putting a couple of terrorists in the noose so to speak.

He said "I will eat you" in a joking matter like "I'll kill you".

 

e.g.: If you don't hand this assignment en, I'll eat you.
