I don't know if this one actually banged his students, but a major effin' asshole nonetheless.

Former Los Angeles elementary school teacher Mark Berndt (pictured above), accused of lewd acts with more than 20 former students, pleaded no contest Friday to nearly two dozen charges. The deal calls for Berndt to be sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Among the illegal and disturbing behavior the 62-year-old Berndt allegedly displayed, he is accused of blindfolding children and spoon-feeding them cookies laced with his semen in what he called "tasting games."
According to CBS Los Angeles, Berndt is also accused of taking photos of students while they were bound and gagged in his classroom. Some photos reportedly show cockroaches being placed on students' faces.
His crimes allegedly occurred between 2005 and 2010.
Parents filed suit against Los Angeles Unified School District for failing to protect their children from Berndt. Settlements have cost the district tens of millions of dollars.
