LAPEER - A former Lapeer Community High School teacher was sentenced to a year's probation and is required to continue sex offender treatment.

Scott Beyer, 39, of Clarkston also faces 30 days in jail if he violates his probation and must register as a sex offender.

Lapeer District Judge Laura C. Barnard on Friday also required Beyer to resign his teaching position and surrender his teaching certificate as part of a plea bargain.
(Thank goodness that judge was intelligent.)



SPRINGFIELD (AP) - A Springfield middle school teacher and Boy Scout troop leader was charged yesterday with possession of child pornography after a computer repair shop alerted police to images on a hard drive.

Greene County prosecutors charged Gary Rademacher, 53, with 10 felony counts of possessing pornographic pictures and films of boys younger than 14. Rademacher is a former Springfield elementary school principle and now an eighth-grade history teacher, they said.

Police said in court records filed with the charges that they were called by Aztec Computer Outfitters after Rademacher dropped off a hard drive for repair in January.

Investigators won a search warrant for Rademacher’s home based on images on the hard drive. Police said they found more than 1,300 suspected child pornographic images and 12 movie files, mostly of boys, on computer drives and disks in Rademacher’s home.
Rademacher was booked and released yesterday on a $10,000 bond.
