Former Penn Marketing Prof to Plead Guilty to Latest Round of Child Porn Charges

Scott Ward, former Penn marketing professor and huge kiddie porn monger (and former domestic partner of Wharton Dean Thomas S. Robertson), is expected to plead guilty at his November 17 hearing to "inducing a minor to engage in sex to create photos or video."

Ward has been locked in prison since May 2007 when he was sentenced to fifteen years for "producing child pornography for importation to the United States." The trouble started in summer 2006 when Ward tried to secure a visa for a 16 year-old Brazilian boy to come live with him in Cape Cod. Maybe this raised some red flags, because Ward was arrested August 9, 2006 at Dulles airport with a suitcase full of child porn (DVDs and whatever was on his laptop).

But what about the dramatic raid of his Penn office in search of more child porn?

Police, in fact, searched his Huntsman Hall office after the August 9 arrest and found more incriminating material, which in turn led to more charges.
