A California Maritime Academy instructor was arrested Saturday morning for suspicion of oral copulation with an intoxicated student, Vallejo police said.The student who police said is in his 20s, reported the incident on Oct. 3. Police said the incident occurred between 7:30 the previous evening and 1:30 a.m. on Oct. 3.
Police said the student reported that he was given an "intoxicating vapor" by the instructor, Scott Saarheim. The student was attending a party at Saarheim's Sims Street home, police said.
Police said the 46-year-old man then orally copulated the student, who was intoxicated, "against his will."
After further investigation, Saarheim was eventually arrested at his residence at about 9 a.m. Saturday. He was booked into Solano County jail, with a bail set at $65,000. Saarheim's court date is scheduled on Wednesday.
Saarheim has been a faculty member since
2000 and is a Maritime Vocational instructor.
The academy declined to comment as of Saturday.

This so does not belong here! It is not funny nor does it have anything to do with professional mariners even if there is a connecion to CMA.

It would appear that "TMZ" has arrived on Gcaptain. Unfortunately! Maybe now I will go back to watching TV.

Ugly but newsworthy. I gave it thanks but only because I can't thumbs down c.captain.

This could lead to a teaching position opening up at Cal, which could be useful for someone wanting to get a teaching job at the academy.

This same Ahole Sarheim showed up to school with a black eye and busted nose about 10 years ago. Rumor was the same kind of story. Only difference was the guy he put the moves fought back.

This has plenty to do with our industry. When an instructor from Cal Maritime is tainting the reputation of the school, it has an affect on everyone who went there. Fortunately or not, the reputation of the school you came from is still important in this industry.

I am a cadet at CMA, and thought I'd chime in to put an end to this discussion. All charges against that teacher have been dropped and he is back to teaching at CMA. I don't know how many classes he is teaching, but I have him for GMDSS lecture.

Since this news broke, I have heard nothing but horror stories about this guy and his antics on cruises. Seems like every former student of CMA knew about him. I guess their new motto is CYA at CMA

yes, there are tons of stories about him. Some true, some not, who knows. I have him for class tomorrow for the first time, will post if anything is said of the matter, which I doubt there will be.

Like I said my freshman year in 98 he got punched out for this crap. Funny thing too is I just had a new 3rd tell me he was doing this on his cruise as well.
