When Dan Barber, the Pennsylvania investigator on the Edgar Friedrichs
case
(see Dec. 19, 2006 report below) forwarded an article about an assistant
principal's arrest last year in Anchorage on twelve counts of possessing
thousands of pictures and movies (theme: adult men raping young
children, including babies and toddlers), he pointed out that this case has
all the hallmarks of a preferential pedophile, which group he calls the
worst of the worst.  So I Googled the arrestee, "Frederick Deussing" and
"Alaska."  The results were a dozen or so stories about the arrest, not
Sean Doogan (KTUU-TV)
Police say they will be dealing with
the aftermath of this crime and trying
to contact thousands of as-yet
unidentified children who, police say,
appear on Deussing's computer
being forced to do unimaginable
things.
Detective Mark Thomas, a cyber
crimes investigator for the Anchorage
Police Department, said the images
on Deussing's computer were
among the most graphic he had ever
seen.
Police say the images of child
pornography discovered on
64-year-old Deussing's computer
depict children as young as
1-year-old being raped by adult men.
Detectives say both the sheer
number--thousands of images--and
the nature of Deussing's alleged
collection were hard to imagine, even
for the most seasoned officers.

Pre-arrest Fred's life
appears to have been
ordinary,
pleasant even, except
for the great numbers and
distances of the moves, all but one
in education:  Philadelphia to New
York, to Vermont, to Colorado, and
then north to Alaska.

Although my family are blessed to
live in remote, tranquil little

Circle, we intensely feel the pain
and sorrow all Americans suffered
on September 11th, and continue
to share in their anguish and pray
with them for His healing and
direction as our nation reunites as

Indivisible...'

Guestbook #4"
'Camelot by the Sea'
In 1995 Fred Deussing was
approved as Principal/Teacher at
Nanwalek (grades K-12, student
population 63).  A year later the
following biographical sketch of
Fred was published in "Sharing
Our Pathways, a newsletter of the
Alaska Rural Systemic Initiative--
Alaska Federation of
Natives/University of
Alaska/National Science
Foundation."
Fred Deussing is originally from
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and
entered the teaching profession in
1970 after serving four years in the
United States Marine Corps Air
Wing. Except for a six-year hiatus
from the teaching profession, when
he was employed as a
manager/stockbroker, he has
been an educator in Pennsylvania,
New York, Vermont, Colorado and
Alaska for the past twenty years.
Prior to his appointment as the
principal/teacher at Nanwalek, he
enjoyed teaching science to
students in Galena. Fred, his wife
Lori and their three-year-old son...
thor- oughly enjoy spectacular
surroundings, and all the many
new friends they have made in
their "Camelot by the Sea".
But even after landing in Alaska,
Fred Deussing appears to have
continued to been on the move,
from one school to the next.

Career notes
There are random school board
minutes from around Alaska such
as this one from the Kenai
Peninsula Borough School District
in Soldotna:
Saying all the right things
Mr. Fred Deussing, Chapman
Elemen- tary principal, stated that
he has an enrollment of 121
students. He cited
parent support
as one of the main reasons why
Chapman students perform
incredibly well.  He stated that the
school goal is to foster a genuine
love of reading among students
and to enhance their reading skills
across the curriculum
capitalizing
on their multiple intelligences
 He
reported that the staff instituted the
Reading Mastery Intervention
Program with primary students.

Life in Alaska
No one could be faulted for
moving to Alaska.  Look how
beautiful it is:
The penultimate
pre-arrest mention
of Fred
on the Internet was last January
from
Bonner, Montana--on the
Alaska Staff Development
Network
log-in page.  There is no
explanation as to why an
employee of the Alaska Staff
Development Network was in
Montana during January.  The 16th
was a Monday.
The Jeremy Bell Act:  
Rethinking my earlier
conclusions
If it will help stop the movements
through our schools of serial
pedophile educators, perhaps we
need it after all.  
Moving along to last
October
Another school proudly welcomed
Fred to their education team;
although this was a Christian
school, his other experience
appears to have been almost
entirely in the public education
sector.  
Heritage proudly welcomes our
new faculty and staff.  We are
beyond joyous to add these top
notch professionals to our
educational team!

much else--surprising for a career educator.  Prior to the arrest, Mr.
Deussing appeared to have existed in a void.  Did he perhaps also go by
"Fred"?  

What opened up next was Frederick Deussing's other life,
the life he lived before the arrest.    Meet "Pre-Arrest Fred" and "Post-Arrest
Frederick."
Here's how local media covered
Frederick's  arrest and court
appearance last week:
Megan Holland (Anchorage
Daily News)
Child porn snares teacher
IN COMPUTER: Police say the level
of violence is worst they've seen.
A former principal and longtime
educator in Alaska has been
accused of possessing some of the
most violent images of child
pornography Anchorage police say
they have ever seen.
Video and still photos seized from the
computer and from other electronic
devices in the Independence Park
home of the accused man included
bestiality and bondage involving
babies and young children, police
said.
Other violent images in his collection
included a video depicting a woman
being killed. Police were uncertain
whether the slaying was real.
Frederick Deussing, 64, was booked
into the Anchorage jail and made his
first court appearance there
Wednesday on 12 counts of
possessing child pornography.
Deussing had most recently been an
assistant principal at the Heritage
Christian School. He started there in
the fall and resigned for personal
reasons in December, an
administrator for the school said
Wednesday.
Deussing became the target of an
investigation in November when
computer repairmen alerted them to
the computer images, according to
documents filed by prosecutors.  
Before Anchorage, Deussing had
been an educator throughout the
state. He held positions in Galena,
Noorvik and Anderson, according to
his resume, which police also found
on his computer.
He was employed by the Kenai
Peninsula Borough School District
from 1995 until 2000, as both a
principal and teacher in Nanwalek,
and as a principal in Anchor Point,
according to a representative for the
district.
Police said that in November,
Deussing took his Apple laptop to
CompUSA in South Anchorage for
repair.
While working on the
computer, a technician found the
images.
The technician happened to
be a full-time computer specialist
for the FBI
and was moonlighting at
the retail store.
Ultimately, police seized several
computers belonging to Deussing
and found thousands of pictures of
boys and girls, many of them infants
and toddlers engaged in sex acts
with adults.
Detective Mark Thomas said most of
the images were downloaded from
the Internet. He did not know if any of
the children were Alaskan.
One video was an animated child sex
abuse training video to be shown to
children to introduce them to having
sex with adults, prosecutors said.
Patrick Hadley, administrator of the
Heritage Christian School, a South
Anchorage school with 175 students,
said he was surprised at the charges.
"My goodness, I need to pray for
him,"
he said. "It's an awful thing to
be in the middle of, regardless of
whether he's guilty or not guilty."
The father of at least two children,
Deussing was also a junior and high
school physics teacher at the
Heritage Christian School.
Thomas said Anchorage police have
seen an escalating level of graphic
child pornography over the past year.
It seems that every time police make
a bust, the material is worse than the
last time, he said.
The trend is not unique to Anchorage,
Thomas said; crimes against
children investigators across the
country are seeing an increase in
younger and more violent child
pornography.
"These (perpetrators) are getting
bored of the 10- and 12-year-olds;
they want them younger now," he
said. "It's getting worse and worse."  
The link between those who possess
child pornography and those who
commit sexual crimes against
children is well established, Thomas
said.  
Deussing has not been charged with
sex abuse.
Last October Alaska Superior Court Judge
Michael Wolverton sentenced former principal
and state DOE executive Fred/Frederick (more
about the name below) Deussing to six years in
prison with three suspended, and five years'
probation upon release, plus Deussing will have
to register as a sex offender.  Attorney Lisa
Reynolds, said that with the suspended time and
good behavior her client Deussing could be out
in two years.

Friends, here is a range of stories all revolving around a common "Pass the Trash" theme.  They go from one involving merely money -- my own former
superintendent, who lost his credentials over his refusal to turn over a big restaurant receipt, to a coach-student-sex incident in a nearby town, to three
examples from Florida to Alaska of what longtime investigator Dan Barber calls "preferential pedophiles," two of them becoming murderers of students.

Fred/Frederick Deussing:  "Baby porn"
educator already out of prison -- early

Friends, I just learned today
that
Fred Deussing is already
out of prison, released in
January on discretionary
parole after serving only two
years; his original release date
was October 2009.   

According to the Alaska
Department of Public Safety
Sex Offender/Child Kidnapper
Registration central registry,
he is living in an Anchorage
hotel.         

Here's more about what landed
him in prison.
Educator sentenced on child porn charges
Juneau Empire
Oct. 21, 2007
ANCHORAGE - A longtime educator in Alaska was sentenced to three years
in prison on child pornography charges after thousands of images and
videos were discovered on his computers.
Fred/Frederick Charles Deussing

Frederick Deussing, 64,
pleaded no contest and
was sentenced Friday. He
will be on probation for five
years when he is released
and will have to register as
a sex offender.

Deussing had worked in
village schools in several
parts of rural Alaska and
most recently was an
assistant principal at
Alaska's Kenai High School
Heritage Christian School in Anchorage. He was employed by the Kenai
Peninsula School District from 1995 until 2000.

Investigators found no indication that Deussing had molested children,
assistant district attorney Trina Sears said Friday.

The images appeared to have been downloaded from the Internet, police
said at the time of Deussing's arrest.

The investigation began after a computer technician found child porn on a
laptop Deussing had taken in for repair last November.
