ST. LOUIS • A Missouri sex offender who was extradited to Australia to face decades-old accusations that he molested students there has been deported back to the U.S. and now lives in St. Louis, his former lawyer said this week.
David Kramer, who has dual citizenship in the U.S. and Israel, had worked at the Yeshiva College school in the Melbourne suburb of St. Kilda. He left in 1992 because of a visa problem, and spent almost a decade in Israel before coming to the St. Louis area.
He pleaded guilty of sexual misconduct and statutory sodomy in 2008, after prosecutors said he fondled a 12-year-old boy and masturbated in front of him in University City.
In 2011, Kramer was months from being released from a seven-year prison sentence in Missouri when he was accused by Australian authorities of fondling four male students, ages 10 and 11, at the Yeshiva College school in 1989-1992.
