Teacher Charged With Molesting Student Nearly 100 Times

COCOA, Fla. -- Hundreds of students and teachers at Endeavour Elementary School in Brevard County are walking on campus Monday for the first time since learning of disturbing allegations against an instructor.
Cocoa police arrested a veteran teacher over the weekend and charged him with molesting a student nearly 100 times.
Daniel Cliatt, 29, is accused of a crime so heinous, for his first appearance deputies dressed him in a bulletproof vest. Wearing the vest with his hands shackled in front of him, Cliatt appeared before a judge for the first time Sunday, when he answered the judge's questions.
Cliatt is accused of raping a 13-year-old repeatedly after school, at school, every day for months.
Cocoa police say the 29-year-old, 360-pound sixth grade teacher started by showing the boy pornography, then moved to sex acts, almost 100 of them. That didn't stop until, police say, another teacher walked into Cliatt's classroom Friday after school.
"At first, she walked in and didn't know what she was seeing. But she ran out and grabbed a supervisor," explained Detective Barbara Matthews, Cocoa Police Department.
Cliatt has been a teacher at Endeavour Elementary School for five years and he's worked there for 10. The school district is already planning a termination hearing.
"We have been very, very cooperative. We've spent a lot of time with the Cocoa Police Department in order to assist them in this investigation," said Sara Stern, Brevard County School District.
Cliatt is a 2000 graduate of Rollins College. He's been at Endeavour Elementary School for 10 years, first as a teacher's assistant, then as a second grade teacher. He most recently taught the sixth grade. Cliatt was in charge of 20 students.
According to the Brevard County School District, Cliatt passed every FBI and FDLE background check.
It really depends. The plates were designed with the 7.62X39 Commie round in mind. Anything with less energy or a highly expanding bullet would probably be stopped. But .308 or .30-06 FMJ or ballistic tip would go through the plates like crap through a goose.
I didn't know they made bullet proof vests that large.
Don't they still use the short-circuiting electric chair in Florida? I remember Florida AG Buttersworth's great quote a few years back when the chair was being criticized as inhumane:
"Note to criminals: Our electric chair don't work so good."
Best quote in American politics in the last 20 years.
Kill him...
Level IV stops 30.06 AP.
No one can tolerate someone who is merely asking questions to dig deeper into a very superficial report ?
Does asking a simple question correlate to blaming the victim, in your book ?
Sorry for you.
1/Give the Judge a .45 Colt ACP.
2/Have him put 3 in Cliatt's face immediately after the jury finds him guilty.
3/Have the state police round up ALL of the Registered Sex Offenders in all the counties in the state.
4/Line said offenders against a brick wall or berm.
5/Repeat Step 1
Just a thought.
Jack.
Really? I would like to see it. Have any video links? I have some .30-06 black tip that will easily punch through 1/2" high quality steel with no problem.
But if so, just follow my previous advice and shoot hin in the HEAD.
If there is any justice in the world, he will get life without parole in a cell with a 600 pound felon convicted of torturing minority homosexuals.
No video, but NIJ certified.

It strikes me that a 360-lb man buggering a 13-year-old boy is unlikely to be mistaken for anything else...
Although I do have to admit that there does seem to be an unusual ammount of bad news coming out of the state of Florida, I still could not imagine living anywhere else. I find it much better than other states I've occupied. Then again I do live in N.W. Florida (the real Scarborough Country) which is totally different from the rest of the state.
I kinda like the fact that in 2000 I can fairly say that me and my friends alone are responsible for G.W. winning the presidency.
Ping
Homosexual Agenda Ping.
Sorry I've been busy, haven't been able to do a lot of pinging, so here's the first one down the chute. And a nasty one it is.
Where's lightning bolts when you need them? This subhuman scum is taking up valuable space (more than his share) and valuable oxygen. The death penalty needs to be implemented for child molesters, soon. Very soon.
Let me know if you want on/off this pinglist.
How can a 29-year-old 2000 college graduate be considered a "veteran teacher"? Wow, the standards really are that low...
LOL
