MIAMI -- A former Christian school gym teacher on probation for molesting boys will not be allowed to attend Detroit Tigers spring-training games, a Miami-Dade judge ruled on Wednesday.

Two previous judges had allowed Russell Clyde Hoyt, 56, to attend baseball exhibition games and University of Miami football home games, Local 6 News partner Florida Today reported.

What changed this time?

On Monday, the mother of one of his victims pulled up Hoyt's court docket on a whim -- and complained before a third judge, Dava J. Tunis, protesting Hoyt's planned six-day trip to Lakeland's Joker Marchant Stadium.

"I'm so relieved," said Lisa Schrader, a legal assistant whose son was among six who came forward against Hoyt in 1998.

Hoyt taught gym at Cutler Ridge Christian Academy and was accused of fondling boys over the course of seven years.

He accepted a deal for five years in prison and 10 years of probation.

He was released in May 2002 and put on a list of state sexual offenders. Schrader said she was never notified -- and also never knew Hoyt had been allowed to travel on sporting trips.

"That's like waving chum in front of a shark," she said of Hoyt's baseball outings.

Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Manny Crespo had allowed Hoyt to attend Miami home games at the Orange Bowl in 2003 and 2004. Crespo died of cancer in January 2006.

His replacement, Ivan Fernandez, allowed Hoyt in March 2006 to travel to Lakeland for five spring-training games and to visit the grave site of his father in nearby Sebring.

"He has done anything and everything with respect to his probation. He has never violated his probation and never been accused of violations," said his defense attorney, Brian H. Bieber, of Hirschhorn & Bieber.

Enter Schrader, who had begun following the ongoing trial in Miami-Dade of John Couey, a convicted sex offender accused of killing 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford.

Curious, she pulled up Hoyt's records on Miami-Dade's court Web site and saw references to his travel.

"I didn't become irate until I saw the court docket," she said.

In Judge Tunis' court Wednesday morning, Schrader objected alongside assistant state attorney David Maer, who did not handle the previous travel requests.

Tunis agreed and also blasted Hoyt's plan to stay at Lakeland's Sanlan Ranch Campground, which Bieber said does not exclude sexual offenders. Its manager, Gary Hoffman, said Wednesday the ranch would never knowingly allow a sex offender because so many children stay there.

The judge on Wednesday did allow Hoyt a day trip to Sebring to visit his father's grave site, but Hoyt must return to Miami by 6 p.m. and check in with his probation officer.

Bieber called Hoyt's case "old news."

"It's very disappointing that Mr. Hoyt is being punished for Mr. Couey being on trial in this county," Bieber said. "There has been a pattern permitting Hoyt to travel outside the county."
