Former school 'Volunteer of the Year' indicted on sexual exploitation charges

A former school volunteer was indicted this week on charges of sexual exploitation of a minor.

Walter Schorer, 75, of Buena Vista Road is charged with one count of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor for the possession of a photo of a crotch of a prepubescent girl, between the ages of 8 and 13, in a bathing suit with a bare vagina pasted over it. He is also accused of having another photo that shows his hand touching the upper buttocks area of an 8-year-old girl, inside her waistband.

Schorer was the 2014 Volunteer of the Year for Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools. Police said in a news release that they received information on Sept. 23, 2015, about photos of young children that appeared to be taken in a school cafeteria. Schorer had developed the photos at a self-serve photo kiosk in the CVS store on Coliseum Drive. The CVS store manager contacted police after reviewing the photos printed on the kiosk and finding an order for 14 photos of elementary school-age girls. Some of the photos were full-body shots of female students, but others focused on just the buttocks or crotch.

Police connected the photos to Schorer and determined that the cafeteria in the photos was at Diggs-Latham Elementary School, 986 Hutton St. Theo Helm, a spokesman for the school system, said earlier this month that school officials pulled Schorer from the volunteer list after they learned about the allegations on Sept. 24, 2015.
