Stephen Sudduth, Accused Child Porn Purveyor

Several residents of Sealy, Texas, have asked me why the local paper hasn't provided an update on the Stephen Wayne Sudduth case. Nothing has been reported in months, so I decided to visit local law enforcement and find out why. What I learned is that he attempted to get his bail reduced, but the Court said NO. His pretrial is set for April 13th, 2010, and his tentative court date is May 3rd. He will get a special prosecutor, and I can't imagine him receiving any kind of deal. At any rate, I was very happy to learn that he is still locked up nice and tight. What bothers me is that someone would bail him out. Who would do something like that, and where would the money come from? If he was free, then that might mean he would be living in the house just down the street from me with his mother. I don't want him down the street, or even in the same state.

If you don't know much about this case, then please visit http://badbadteacher.com, or simply google the name. If convicted this man will likely set a record for owning the most child pornography of any teacher ever busted. Not only that, according to prosecutors he is a star in some of his own pictures. I have heard some locals say things like, "yea, but he did that over there." I guess they are talking about the school he worked at off shore. How does his location minimize his crime? I would certainly like to know who he was swapping pictures with too.

I hope you aren't referring to my comment about him working in another country and that the kids were not of US origin...I sure wasn't trying to minimze his crimes either. However, I do feel sorry for his family considering we are from a small town and we do know one another. It really is so sad.... And of course you are right.... it is disgusting, repulsive and any other degrading word you would like to call his acts!
