Police: Child Welfare Official Exposed Himself to Teenage Girls at Hotel

Posted on | April 9, 2014 | 13 Comments

The victims of this weird crime “were staying at the hotel while attending the Nebraska Family, Career and Community Leaders of America state leadership conference” in Lincoln, Nebraska:

A director of a national child welfare center in Washington, D.C., was arrested and jailed Monday night for allegedly exposing himself to four teenage girls in a Lincoln hotel.
He was in town to help the state Department of Health and Human Services work on child welfare issues. . . .
Steven L. Preister, 68, was cited by police after allegedly confronting the girls as they exited a stairwell and began lecturing and yelling at them for being too loud. He allegedly followed them to their room and held the door open despite their attempts to close it — all while intoxicated and wearing nothing but a T-shirt, according to Katie Flood, a police officer with the Lincoln Police Department.
Police were called shortly before 10 p.m. to the Cornhusker Marriott Hotel, where four girls, ages 14 to 15, said they were confronted by Preister. Two adult chaperones and another hotel guest reportedly witnessed the incident.
The Washington, D.C., man is associate director of the National Child Welfare Resource Center for Organizational Improvement. He is listed as a faculty member at the Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy at the Muskie School of Public Service, which “develops innovative approaches to pressing health and social challenges faced by individuals, families, and communities.”
Flood said Preister was in Lincoln to speak and provide assistance with child abuse investigations. Kathie Osterman, spokeswoman for the state Department of Health and Human Services, said Preister was recommended by the feds to give the state technical assistance.

Well, he was drunk. Maybe he thought he was walking the halls of Congress.

Man, you can’t make this shit up. Real life stranger than fiction, no longer just a cliche.

Nope, he still had a t-shirt on.
Congresscritters never go half-stupid. It’s all or everything.

Given that Mr Preister is 68 years old, my guess is that he will be encouraged to retire, gracefully.

“innovative approaches” — well I guess so.

Intoxicated and wearing nothing but a t-shirt used to be my Sunday afternoons.

Then I had children.

Causation, or correlation?

Either way, used to be.
