A SYDNEY primary school teacher is banned from going anywhere near children while awaiting trial for allegedly uploading child abuse material to the internet.
Peter Ronald Kleist faced Burwood Local Court today after he was charged last month with two counts of using a carriage service for child pornography material and four counts of possession of child abuse material.
Kleist has not yet entered a plea but is expected to deny the allegations and defend the charges.
The 58-year-old, who is a teacher at a Catholic primary school in southwest Sydney, is banned from being near children while on bail.
Court papers show that his bail conditions restrict him from seeking paid or voluntary work or social activities that bring him in contact with kids and he is not to be in the vicinity of premises known to be frequented by children including schools, playgrounds and sporting venues.
Kleist is also banned from having an internet connection at his house or accessing social networking websites.
