Former Toronto Day School Head Arrested on Child Porn Charges in California


The one-time director of Leo Baeck School in Toronto was arrested in California earlier this month on child pornography charges.

David Prashker, 60, was charged Feb. 22 with possession and distribution of child pornography and attempting to destroy evidence.

Prashker served as director of Leo Baeck School from 2004 to 2008, when he resigned over violent and sexually explicit poetry he wrote and posted online.

On Feb. 18, members of the Contra Costa Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, northeast of San Francisco, attempted to serve Prashker with a search warrant at his home in Lafayette.

According to local reports, Prashker fled to the rear of the house and threw a laptop from a second storey into the backyard. Investigators discovered that the compute’s hard drive contained evidence of child pornography.  (more...)
