(09/26/08 - Initial BadBadTeacher.com Report)
Webb David Rieder, 32, a classroom aid at Valley Forge Elementary School in Columbus, Ohio has been arrested and charged with pandering sexually oriented matter involving a juvenile.
The arrest of Rieder is the result of an investigation which began in July when police detected someone distributing child pornography via the Internet. Police say that the someone was Rieder and that they downloaded a file that contained a move of “preteen boys engaged in sexual activity”.
Earlier this week police executed a search warrant at Rieder’s residence and seized two computers and over 100 CD’s and DVD’s.
Investigators do not believe that any local children were victimized in the child pornography or that Rieder had molested any children at the school.
Following his arrest Rieder was being held in the Franklin County Jail and investigators say that additional charges were pending the outcome of the investigation.

I’ve know David for about 10 years and I have never seen any thing that would suggest he was doing anything improper. I think he should be considered innocent until the FACTS prove otherwise, which I don’t believe they will. He seems to be a decent guy who may have been looking at internet sites that he shouldn’t have. Give him a break until the facts are in!

The police did the right thing by making an arrest - they had proof, not just someone’s statement. Busted…

This is a good case, the guy got caught red handed. Depending on the number of pictures and/or movies he is facing a life time in jail, plus no bail has been set yet.

As a fellow soccer official in Central Ohio, I have known Dave for over ten years. I always thought he was strange and arrogant, but a soft-spoken, very private gentleman. This completely blows me away! Ah, the secret lives people live. I know about innocent until proven guilty, but good luck on this one!
