Former University of South Alabama Professor Barry Simpson, 44, was sentenced today by U.S. District Court Judge Joan A. Lenard to 63 months’ imprisonment, to be followed by three years of supervised release. Simpson was previously convicted of attempting to transmit obscene material to a minor using the Internet.
As part of a child exploitation investigation, an undercover FBI agent posed as a 13-year-old girl in an Internet chat room. In the chat room, Simpson approached the undercover agent and initiated a conversation. During the course of the conversation, Simpson transmitted clothed pictures of himself and sexually explicit material to the agent. A subsequent federal search warrant of Simpson’s office at the University revealed that his work computer contained images of child pornography.
On June 18, 2009, Simpson pled guilty to Count 1 of a two-count indictment that charged him with attempting to transfer obscene material to a minor, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section, 1470.
Oh those hillarious liberal, marxist, socialist American hating professors... don’t cha just love em? Thank God thier concentrating on the re education of our children.
Piss-poor press release. When was Simpson a professor? Last year, 10 years ago, etc.? What has he been doing since?
If anyone has more information on this issue, please post it here.
Yeah, unfortunately, that's not the case here. From google result:
Simpson has been published in journals of libertarian economics, including The Quarterly Journal of Austrian Economics, New Perspectives in Political Economy and The Journal of Libertarian Studies. Further, he is a member of the Libertarian Party of Alabama. He was also active in anti-voting initiatives on Facebook, a popular social networking site.
