LAKE COUNTY, Fla. – Leonard Shuster, 43, had conversations with undercover police over a 3-month period thinking he was arranging to have sex with a woman and her 7-year-old daughter. He did the most of this correspondence from where he worked. Shuster is a married father of 3 and oversees a Hebrew school for young children and he’s on the board of directors for a youth soccer league.
He was arrested after taking a flight from Connecticut to OrlandoOrlando reviews
. A deputy followed him from the Orlando International Airport and pulled him over before he reached the address he had been given. They also found child pornography in his car.
“From day one the talk was exactly to what he wanted. It would not surprise me if he’s actually done this before,” said Det. Chris Loyko of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Shuster confessed to everything and is now in jail charged with 120 sex-related charges.

You’d think they could put the guy away for life on, say, 100 charges, or even 80. Or, you know, ONE. That’d be nice, but probably a bit much to expect.
I predict a “he’s a great guy, I know him, he’d never do this, he was just pretending so he could go rescue that child” defense.

A Hebrew School! A Hebrew School! This pedophile was involved in teaching young people about Jewish religion. I just can’t see why God doesn’t strike dead those who use His/Her (in this case, definitely His) religion as a means for evil. Priests molesting boys. Nuns molesting girls. Ministers having sex with parishoners. And the Lord of the Old Testament struck a man dead for reaching out to keep the Ark from falling to the ground — the man touched the sacred Ark — intentions didn’t matter — down to the ground dead he went.
But this guy gets to party along for a while it seems. Maybe God is dead or has started a new world somewhere else that is getting all His attention.
10:52 am on April 2nd, 2008
So that means there are probably women out there who actually let this tubby piece of shit have sex with their children.
If they confiscate his computer, I hope they are able to find out for sure. Women like that need twice the punishment that this deviant is getting.
10:54 am on April 2nd, 2008
Ewwwww. Father of 3, its time to take the kiddies for a check-up.
I get ya. Where is God?
10:56 am on April 2nd, 2008
“Maybe God is dead or has started a new world somewhere else that is getting all His attention. ”
Wry…I’m totally using this as my new signature. Brilliance.
11:07 am on April 2nd, 2008
sick fucker…ugh
1:26 pm on April 2nd, 2008
Normally I wouldn’t, but FUCK this guy. 7 years old?!
The wife didn’t know ANYTHING was amiss with her sweet husband? Not in all those married years? Not even inkling, an intuition, a weird feeling? How ‘bout the time she caught him jacking off to the Gap Kids catalog? Raise any flags? Nothing, huh? I am calling bullshit.
Now y’all can let ‘em know how hot you think sex with a baby would be. (I did take off the address, but it’s easy to find on qwestdex). Sick fucks.
I’m taking off the phone number. If people want to look it up, let them do it on their own. There may be innocent people involved with this who could be negatively impacted by people calling and I wont have this site take part in harassing them, regardless of what the intentions were. – Morbid
1:35 pm on April 2nd, 2008
Wait…How do we know that she caught him getting off to a Gap Kids catalog? Did I miss something?
1:48 pm on April 2nd, 2008
I think that was sarcasm. I also think it’s possible that something like that has actually happened in this guy’s house. The wife maybe didn’t catch him, but I bet it has happened!
1:53 pm on April 2nd, 2008
I totally want details on that. Not like gross details, but where-did-you-hear-that details.
1:59 pm on April 2nd, 2008
Oh, yeah…probably sarcasm.
2:00 pm on April 2nd, 2008
Hey, it could have happened.
2:10 pm on April 2nd, 2008
For sure. My initial reaction was, “He did WHAT?!? And the wife didn’t kill that sick bastard right then and there???”
Luckily, Angel laid it out before I went off on an embarrasing tangent.
2:26 pm on April 2nd, 2008
LOL. I only caught it because I like to make snotty, sarcastic comments like that myself. I actually had to look again to make sure I hadn’t posted THAT comment myself, while in a rage induced fugue brought on by the fucking pedo story. I’m safe, it really WAS someone else who posted it. Now I can postpone my commitment hearing for a few more days, anyway.
2:36 pm on April 2nd, 2008
EvilAvenger, if you can make Athena double-take, you are a whole new breed of awesomeness. I hope you’ll stick around. Um, not so much with the phone numbers, but the other stuff is great!
2:44 pm on April 2nd, 2008
Yeah, dude (or dudette)…The phone numbers totally belong on a separate, anonymous blog spot.
Oops…I mean…You really shouldn’t be posting people’s private information like that.
2:57 pm on April 2nd, 2008
Okay, okay. I get it, Morbid. You’re right, no use putting the site in danger- what else would I read every day?!
But, here’s the thing. This kind of shit needs to get some public opinion. Not just news coverage. Not just internet. His family and friends need to hear about it, too. Public shaming is completely appropriate here.
Not only is the victim (this time, luckily, a fake vic) harmed, but the entire fucking universe devolves every time a seemingly stand-up guy gets the light of day shone on his perverted, disgusting ass.
You expect to see Jasper Bob Cousinfucker on this site. Or pathetic, drug-addled whores who trade their precious babies for a little bit of meth and affection (or at least a good, hard smack-around). But when you see a guy who looks like your neighbor; looks like the guy who brings the fucking potato salad to the community picnic – that’s it. It’s time to use your voice. Loudly.
I am so fucking sick of dirty fucking hypocrite opportunists that preach the word on Sunday (or on Friday in this case…) and then get caught with their khaki Dockers down around their Topsiders, and their lawn boy in tears. Where I come from, if you drag your name through shit, you drag your whole family through shit. His kids are innocent, but the wife? No way.
Fuck ‘em. I won’t post phone numbers anymore, but, fuck ‘em.

Words of wisdom, right there. Cheers, mate. I couldn’t agree more.
3:35 pm on April 2nd, 2008
Hey, I’m with you. If I knew 100 percent that a phone number was publicly listed, and only an accused pedophile would ever answer it, I wouldn’t care on bit. I am just thinking that his kids are already going to be going through hell, and as far as we know right now, his wife as well. I would just hate to take part in causing them any further grief is all.
3:39 pm on April 2nd, 2008
Can i get an amen? A-MEN!
3:46 pm on April 2nd, 2008
Ditto!
4:22 pm on April 2nd, 2008
First of all let me state unequivocaly that I agree 1million percent with you all that this guy & anyone else that sees children as sexual objects is a sick fuck. I furthermore believe that they should be tortured slowly to death in the most horrible fashion imaginable. The wife probably knows more than she wants to admit. But then again with three kids to keep her occupied and with her husband’s busy schedule (directing the soccer league,teaching at the Hebrew school,scouting for new victims) it is entirely possible that she didnt know. Not likely but possible. That being said I pray she has enough sense to take a closer look at her own children.
As for the whole “where’s God” thing, I just want to know why is it that everyone loves to blame God for all the horrible shit that happens in the world but I never hear them giving Him credit for any of the good. EX: my children are both alive,healthy and normal in every way. I give the big G credit for that. The fact that I am happily married (10years strong) I definately have to give God credit for that. Trust me, if not for alot of divine intervention I’d have killed the poor man years ago & you all would be commenting on my psychotic ass. LOL Not trying to pick a fight with anyone or get into some long ridiculous debate “creation v/s evolution” and all that. I’m just trying to be fair to my friend that’s all.
Oh yeah my favorite thing to give God credit for would be this awesome planet I believe he made for us. Even with all the horrors of pollution, and global warming it still beats the hell out of Mars.
Let me repeat I do not wish to debate with anyone about my faith or my beliefs. I respect all of yours whether I agree with them or not. Afterall we do live in a free country and are FREE to believe whatever the hell we want to. I definately have to give Him credit for that one since I know our History well. My 2 cents worth…..
4:22 pm on April 2nd, 2008
Talking Jesus does not endorse toddler-lickers of any religion, but babyfuckers who do it in Dad’s name get a fast ticket to Hell, home of the three-foot assreamer.
4:46 pm on April 2nd, 2008
AMEN!! Wow they got a 3 foot ass reamer in Hell now? Damn now Ill never talk my gay friends into joining me in heaven. “Where does he get his wonderful toys?” the joker~
5:14 pm on April 2nd, 2008
I don’tthink God has muchto
5:43 pm on April 2nd, 2008
I don’t know how much God has to do with it (and I live in Salt Lake!) This is about free will. This is about some stupid fuck pervert who didn’t start off fucking babies, but probably got cut a shit loads of breaks because “Aww, he’s such a good boy… we don’t want to ruin the rest of his life. Look at that face… he would never… Boys will be boys. It’s natural for boys to be curious about sex…” etc.
So this tubby fuck flew under the radar on the good graces, well-meaning intentions and disbelief of his community.
Every. Body. Played. Along. Looked the other way, made up stories, made excuses.
He started out like every other sex offender. Porn. Masturbation. Looking. Peeping while masturbating. Then touching someone. More, more, more. One little step at a time. Every time they got away with ‘just a little more’ emboldened him to do one more ‘just a little more’.
So now, because Leonard Shuster got into college, went to Shul on Friday night, and looked like a nice kid that nobody wanted to tell on, here we all are, years later, crying over the fact that this probably wasn’t his first babyfuck.
Kids that get the fucking book thrown at them the first time they’re caught are less likely to become a Shuster. Just my two cents.
5:51 pm on April 2nd, 2008
Agreed, although I don’t think pedos can be fixed, not even the first time, so the kindest thing to do is remove them from society entirely.
5:56 pm on April 2nd, 2008
For the second time today, Imp – AMEN!!!
5:56 pm on April 2nd, 2008
You certainly have the right to any belief you want to espouse. We do have Christians here, even the odd vocal Christian (Talking Jesus, for example, oddly enough, and Angel for another.) Our forum (link above, in the header) is a great place to sink your teeth into various members’ views on everything from God to movies to fart jokes. You might wanna have alook sometime. We’re all about free speech here – yours too.
6:04 pm on April 2nd, 2008
I haven’t found the fart jokes yet.
6:17 pm on April 2nd, 2008
Me either. But that’s probably because I haven’t been looking. I don’t think any of the jokes on that thread could compete with my two year old when he walks up to me, grins slyly, and says, “Mama, ah pooted.”, and then does his funny little bellylaugh/babygiggle. it cracks my ass up every time!
9:27 pm on April 2nd, 2008
In general, I don’t care how anyone conceptualizes God. It’s their business.
However, the God of the Bible, which is one I grew up hearing about, is supposed to know when even a insignificant bird like a sparrow dies, so He certainly knows when a pervert is fucking a child. And if He sets it up so he gets the credit for being in charge and aware of everything in the whole wide world, I’m going to wonder what he’s doing with His superpowers when a kid gets molested.
This perplexes me. If God is able to do miracles, how does He choose when to intervene? And I’d think He’d be especially quick to stop the hijinks of those who wear His garb or place themselves as being his especial friends, such as the heads of Hebrew schools.
Now, a different question — how did they come up with the 120 charges? Are they charging him for things he said on during the phone calls?
5:43 am on April 3rd, 2008
I love it when enticement is not dismissed as entrapment. At 43, lustful Leonard would be a practised pedo, as any solid and unflinching assessment of his family activities and social shenanighans would uncover. The guy has the look of ‘how could this happen to me?’ and thank goodness it did, you black-hearted, pasty faced chameleon. I bet he’ll be out in 18-24 months, reamed arse an’ all. Just dy’n to see the defence’s argument of one-off impulsive behaviour caused by life’s pressures, and all the wonderful testimonials to minimise the sentence. Bring on the stupidity!
8:44 am on April 3rd, 2008
From the story I just read above, God did step in with a cop on the phone to get between this pervert and a 7 year old. Or at least the cop stepped in. Maybe the cop was God designated pervert stopper for that day.
R
8:54 am on April 3rd, 2008
I would have rather your god had stepped in and simply killed this asshole before he even had a chance to do anything at all. Or maybe not even kill him…how about just fix him? That would have been pretty simple, seeing as I keep hearing how god makes all of us. Surely he saw where this fuck was headed. Right?
How about we give credit where credit is due for a change. I’ll blame god for making people like this asshole. I’ll blame him for making people like this who fuck children. I’ll blame him for not using his infinite powers to stop it. In turn, I’ll credit the people who catch and prosecute these type of people for actually stopping them from harming anyone else.
But then again, we are talking about a god who sent his son down for us to murder when all he had to do was just simply forgive us in the first place. So maybe he would do something as asinine as place a cop in an internet sex sting to catch him now, before he raped a non-existent child. I guess I just don’t get all the theatrics.
9:32 am on April 3rd, 2008
I see it a little differently. Did he send his child down so we could murder him, or did he give us free will and send his child down to see what we would do?Is it that evil did win out and he ended up with a murdered child?
Don’t confuse my comment as a statement on religion.
My comment was more to point out that this guy has been accused of attempting to do harm to a child and most of the rest of the comments seem to be based on the assumption that he has “done this before” or that “his wife knew something about his activities” neither of which are factual or even suggested by the reported information.
Someone in the report said ” I would not be surprised if he has done this before” NOT “We have information that proves he has done this before”
It’s a common trend here to assign all sorts of additional “facts” to reports here. I know, I do it myself. Sometimes just take a step back and ask myself, what are the known (reported) facts?
R
9:41 am on April 3rd, 2008
Well, he know everything already, so he knew we would kill him. Besides, how would have Jesus died for all of our sins had we not killed him? Evil didn’t have anything to do with it. It was god’s plan and it worked.
Sorry, when someone says god did this or that, I always look at it as a statement on religion.
10:13 am on April 3rd, 2008
Rofl I always get a laugh outta u guys.
10:21 am on April 3rd, 2008
Hey no one told me we have a fart jokes section….O_o
11:07 am on April 3rd, 2008
Thank you, Morbid.
I wish that I could believe in the God that others see. I truly would like to have the assurance that a great, big Someone, Somewhere, cares and has a mysterious plan. But even when I was a child I felt there was something wrong in the whole “Let’s be grateful that God forgave us for something we didn’t do” idea.
So I continue to hopefully search. I have had personal experiences that suggest that there is life after death — so, that suggests there is a God or Goddess or pantheon — or is life after death like roaming around a great, big eternal mall?
11:11 am on April 3rd, 2008
You’re right. Maybe he was a wannabe who just felt it was time to take the first step into acting on his dreams. All the kid stuff in his life was just grist for his fantasies — let’s hope it’s true for the sake of all the little kids who knew him.
11:25 am on April 3rd, 2008
God giving us free will is proof that the dude is prone to a fatty mistake now and again. So much for perfection…
6:16 pm on April 3rd, 2008
Wha? did you have at least a passing look at the mug shot? if this suburban Baron Harkonnen brought potato salad to my community picnic, I’d be avoiding the extra creamy mayonnaise base, thanks anyway.
That’d be me and half a dozen others, I suspect. I’ve worked in child protection for 20 yrs as an investigator and counsellor, and my experience with assessing child sex offenders, and research of clinical and other material, is that offenders don’t suddenly blossum at 43 yrs old age. They commonly offend in some formative way in their early teens and, if not caught and/or effectively dealt with, continue to offend, either sporadically or continuously until properly dealt with. Criminogenic research does actually support the Forties as a common ‘catching ground’ for offenders who get just a little too cocky and sloppy in their covert activities. And Mrs Pedo would have to be blind, deaf and dumb not to be aware of her husband’s inclinations – I don’t need research (that does support this) to use my fucking common sense.
What research is conservative about are the numbers of potential offenders in the ‘real’ world, and the causative link between porn and offending. The growing number of online offenders who appear to have normal lives and the rampant growith of virtual kiddie porn is ripping the scab off that sore.
Hey! – that’s my sexual history too, and a lot of other ‘nurmal’, non-child molesting people as well, or did you just magic babies from dick-snot when you came of age? Not even a little peak at your brother/sister? Playboy centrefold? Macy’s lingerie catalogue? Big fibber.
7:39 pm on April 3rd, 2008
Oh, God. You are a clever, funny one. You got me. I’m a fibber. Everyone peaks at their siblings and masturbates. “Magic babies and dick snot.” How droll. How witty. What a hoot. Did you write that one down? You really called it. Big fibber… Hee, hee.
Crazy thing is: fucking common sense tells you that people who have a predilection to sexual addiction (the same people who are more likely to become sexual offenders) start with masturbation and porn. Really, you were out peeping through your neighbor’s window and jacking off? You ‘touched’ people inappropriately? Sorry, pal, but those are sexual offenses. 20 years studying sexual criminals, huh? Interesting life choice.
And this is the very thing I was talking about. You’re making a (hee,hee) funny out of your “nurmal, non-child molesting” childhood of peeping and touching people. “Boys will be boys. They’re just curious about sex. We don’t want to ruin his little life just because he was spreading his “dick-snot” all over our kid.” Fuck that.
I am the sister of a guy who had just that same “nurmal, non-child molesting” childhood. I can say the answer to your question about taking peaks at my bother or sister, Playboy, Macy’s or anything else was a no.
But I can tell you that I always had a hard time going to sleep at night because I was afraid that I’d wake up with my brother’s hand down my shirt.
Or that I rarely put on a bathing suit as a kid. I lived in MOTHERFUCKING Las Vegas.
I can tell you that I would try to time my clothes changings to when my brother was outside playing with his friends, so that I wouldn’t have to hold up my pants and block the door as he tried to get in.
I was careful where and how I sat, what I wore, if we were alone in a room together…
I can tell you that my parent knew and they let me know that he was a “nurmal, non-child molesting person†and just to let them know after these things happened and they’d whip his ass.
Funny thing is, that brother grew up to be a navy Corpsman, who is busy fighting for Bush (hee, hee) in Iraq.
The other brother is in prison as a registered sex offender.
So, I guess I see it as a little less “nurmal” than you.
8:42 pm on April 3rd, 2008
EA, clever riposte. Just let me put aside my Playboy to rejoin.
Thank you for your victim impact statement – I usually hear this stuff in counselling sessions, but lets paint the whole range of normal sexual development with the perverted one you grew up in – which only supports my earlier comment on this post that offenders start molesting in childhood.
There was nothing in your original statement about ‘peeping through neighbour’s windows’, or touching anyone ‘inappropriately’, so don’t embellish your original remarks to smear my sexual development. Yeah, your brother was a compulsive shit head, the other one sounds like a fine upstanding deviate, and your parents didn’t protect you as they should. That is tragic, and all too common.
Given your impromptu disclosure, I see that your original comments were more about what happened to you than what this guy did. But hey, free therapy, right? Just stop making out that ‘normal’ sexual development has to preclude looking at stroke books, and no choking the chicken. Perverts have the same exposure, I agree, but their lack of moral and empathic development and the tangental, paraphilic associations they make lead to them offending, not a bit of legit porn or self stimulation.
5:39 am on May 2nd, 2008
and now, Leonard Shuster has been charged with 450 more counts of child porn : http://www.dreamindemon.com/forums/showthread.php?p=29557
Because the first 120 or so weren’t enough to keep him locked up, apparently.
Think you got something worth saying? Type it out. If you don't wanna look lame, get rid of that default avatar and go get you a gravatar! Tell 'em Morbid sent ya'. Lastly, as far as we are concerned, posting a comment means that you have read our Disclaimer.
