Foot Fetish

LAWSUIT and foot fetish games

June 26, 2008 - The Florida Department of Education is being sued by a young woman suffering from muscular dystrophy who alleges that a former counselor forced her to act out "master-slave" foot fetish fantasies.

The suit claims the department was negligent after hiring Steven Stocker because he was fired and pleaded guilty to a similar offense in Virginia in the early 1990s.

In 1992, Stocker was a principal in Fredericksburg, VA, where he was charged after he took a 9-year-old girl to his apartment, played games with the girl while calling her master and kissed her foot, according to the lawsuit. Later that year, Stocker was found guilty and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine.

Leaving Virginia, Stocker was hired as a teacher in Florida. In 1993, the school district fired him after a background check revealed that he had failed to disclose the suspension from Virginia public schools, according to the lawsuit.

He was hired to work with state's Department of Education's Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, where he was assigned to counsel a 19-year-old woman with muscular dystrophy. He was fired in April 2007 after a mental health counselor and close friend of the victim sent a written complaint about Stocker to the rehabilitation division's Tallahassee ombudsmen's office.
