| 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. |

| Although my family are blessed to live in remote, tranquil little Eskimo village far above the Arctic 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 '...One Nation, Under God, Indivisible...'

| '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. |

| 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. (SOURCE--James Halpin/Anchorage Daily News) |

| 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. |

| 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. |
