Child Pornographer Nabbed at Penn State?

Child Pornographer Nabbed at Penn State?

There's not much to go on with this story just yet, but The Collegian is reporting that last week Penn State police assisted in a child pornography case. So you have to think, why would Penn State police be involved unless it happened on campus? I'm not even going to comment on someone looking at child porn because that's beyond disgusting. But why would you look at anything that's even questionable on a university computer or through the Penn State internet system? Ridiculous.

 

As The Collegian says, Penn State police assisted the Delaware County Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force last week by interviewing "an individual of interest." Also, Robin Anderson, director of multimedia technology for Penn State Information Technology Services, told The Collegian that Security Operations and Services, the electronic security branch of ITS, is aware of the investigation.

 

A google search of the Delaware County Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force finds that they are very busy in the last month, and not just in Pennsylvania. Last month a former vice provost for Lehigh University pled guilty to attempted involuntary deviate sexual intercourse after a sting set up by the task force. According to The Philadelphia Daily News, Steven Devlin "used his Lehigh University office computer to send instant messages to a person he believed to be a 32-year-old mother of two girls, ages 7 and 9." He later told the woman, who was actually a police officer, he wanted to have intercourse with her 9-year-old and use sex toys on her 7-year-old. SICK!

 

And just last week the task force helped in the arrest of two men, one a Delaware County man and the other from New York. But this task force's reach is not limited to the east coast, as they have also helped in the arrest and subsequent guilty plea of a Minnesota middle-school teacher last month.

 

I don't know anything about this case, but something's telling me it involved a professor or someone at an administrative level. Not sure why, but I'd be really surprised if it was a student. What's good about the Internet again?
