Detectives investigating a Miramonte Elementary School teacher accused of lewd acts against students this week discovered 200 new photos he allegedly took of students.

The new photos were recovered late last week from a South Bay CVS pharmacy after a search of the drug store's computer systems for photos from former teacher Mark Berndt, said Sheriff Sgt. Dan Scott.

It was same location that initially yielded 40 images in the fall of 2010 and led authorities to begin a more than a year-long investigation of the educator. When Berndt was arrested last week, authorities said they recovered a total of 400 photos gathered from various locations including his home.

Scott said the new photos -- like the others -- showed children with mouths taped over, blindfolded and sometimes with a cockroach on them or eating from a spoon. He said there are some new children's faces in the batch of photos. Prosecutors allege that Berndt spoon-fed his semen to blindfolded children as part of what he called a “tasting game.”

Berndt was charged with 23 felony counts and was being held on $23-million bail.
