Widely quoted “outlaw biker authority” James F. Quinn has been charged with nine felony counts of possession of child pornography.
Quinn is a former professor of criminology at the University of North Texas in Denton and the author of numerous works about bikers including: “Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs: Aspects of the One-Percenter Culture for Emergency Department Personnel to Consider;” “The Tools, Tactics, and Mentality of Outlaw Biker Wars;” “Leathers and Rolexes: The Symbolism and Values of the Motorcycle Club;” “The Nature of Criminality Within One-Percent Motorcycle Clubs; “Angels, Bandidos, Outlaws, and Pagans: The Evolution of Organized Crime Among the Big Four 1% Motorcycle Clubs;” “Sex and Hedonism Amongst One-Percenter Bikers;” “The Organization of 1% Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs;” “One Percenter Women: An Evolving Typology;” and “Motorcycle Gangs.”
Quinn was frequently and widely quoted in regional and national publications including The Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal in the days following the Twin Peaks Massacre in Waco on May 17. Quinn gave interviews and his opinions were quoted from May 18 until May 24 when he contributed to a story in USA Today. He gave an extended interview to Texas Public Radio on May 20. Bill Whitaker, the opinion editor for the Waco Tribune-Herald, quoted Quinn on May 31 in an editorial titled “Complicated biker culture blurs lines on good guys, bad guys, outlaws and wannabes.”
During all of this period of his recent celebrity, Quinn knew he had been caught red-handed with child pornography. Two pedophilic videos and seven pedophilic photographs were discovered on one of Quinn’s computers on May 13. He was arrested and booked into the Denton County jail on May 29. He resigned his tenured position at North Texas on June 4.
He was indicted by a grand jury on July 24. He is currently free on $10,000 bail. He faces two to ten years in prison and a maximum $10,000 fine if he is convicted. He is scheduled to be arraigned August 20.
Not the kiddie porn. That's not funny.
Who had it is funny.
What color were his hands?
Sounds like in all his studies of criminals he “went native” as the sociologists say.

Or pissed off the wrong people at NSA. Who knows?
I don’t get it! How can an adults get off looking at nude children?
Nah, these guys are easy to catch. They post the videos online, thinking they are doing it anonymously.
Nothing is anonymous on the internet.
That’s my guess as well. Too many people who piss of the wrong people seem to have this exposed.
They’re perverts. Just like a man who gets excited by another man’s butt.
Or both. I wonder if some are all of his studies of 1%er biker groups smack of apologetics for the lifestyle.

Where’s the troll squad to defend this guy?

Looking for source other than Aging Rebel on the story, I did find something called “Google Scholar”
Of course they are perverts, but I still don’t get it?
Sounds like his “insider knowledge” on the perversions on the internet is catching up to him. “It was all just part of my research, your honor” is the next thing you will hear from him and his lawyer.

Longtime UNT professor indicted on child pornography charges - NTDaily
A couple corroborating sources there.
I don’t get men who get excited over other mens’ butts.
I don’t get women who get excited over other womens’ privates.
I don’t get adults who get excited over pre-pubescent children.
There’s something wrong with them.
I guess I’m not so much trying to explain it (since I can’t) as put it in context.
Because bikers are pedophiles? Maybe I’m misunderstanding - what are you saying here?
In his studies of criminals, he found something in their lifestyle that appealed to him. Quinn also studied perversion on the internet, which in the context of what he’s been charged with makes you wonder.

“Where’s the troll squad to defend this guy?”
I think I have seen his opinion shared numerous times by the biker gang fanbots ....
“Most 1% clubs are led by conservatives who avoid serious criminality and seek only to be left alone to ride and party with their ‘brothers’.
