ST. LOUIS • A man recently released from a seven-year prison term is fighting an attempt by Australia to extradite him to face allegations he abused students he taught there at least 20 years ago.
David Kramer, now 51, is due in U.S. District Court in St. Louis today for a hearing prompted by allegations involving his tenure at a school in St. Kilda, a Melbourne suburb.
Australia’s extradition documents claim Kramer fondled or otherwise indecently assaulted four boys, 10 and 11, from 1989-92, both in and out of school. One former student accused him of hundreds of incidents. In December, he was charged with multiple counts of indecent assault and indecent acts.
“Mr. Kramer vehemently denies everything coming out of Australia,” responded one of his lawyers here, Matthew Chase.
