mr. berndt, and she actually watched mr. rndt feed this little girl a vanilla cookie with a white gooey substance on top with red sprinkles. she watches him take pictures. she then has a conversation with mr. berndt saying things like, well, ask her if she liked the cookie. so clearly, we think that information should put the l.a. county sheriff's department on notice that they need to investigate this third teacher, because she may have been facilitating and/or aiding and a b betting mr. berndt in carrying out these lewd and lascivious acts. >> clearly that is something we haven't been able to get any evidence on. the sheriff's department hasn't been able to get back to us. there is a time difference which we recognize as well. we've also asked the superintendent, mr. john deazy, to come on and that has not materialized, either. thank you for coming on. we do appreciate that. >> sure. thank you, ashleigh. >> thanks for joining us. we continue with helga honley. >> i'm here for brooke baldwin. a s srk assad blasts syria. we c

mr. asovedo, the public defender, claims that during the time berndt has been held in custody at the locals run by the sheriff's department, that sheriffs department personnel at the jail announced over the loudspeaker to other inmates that berndt is a child molester. >> there is absolutely no reason why that kind of behavior should ever be justified or tolerated in any way, especially because he is currently in what we call pre-trial detainment. he has not been convicted of anything, he hasn't been found guilty of anything. his bail has been set. he obviously does not have the ability at this time to bail out, so he will remain in the custody of the sheriffs' department until this case reaches whatever resolution it is going to reach. obviously the concern is for his personal safety. we cannot have the sheriffs' department deputies acting in such a way to essentially put a bull's-eye on his head, so to speak. so that is my concern. >> reporter: now, we reached out to the sheriffs' department to find out what they had to say about these allegations. sheriff's spokesperson telling me he had
