>>Tom Scully, the former public library director who in January pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography, is now fighting to hold on to his pension. Scully has sued the city’s Retirement Board, hoping to bar it from holding a hearing that would consider whether his actions constituted “moral turpitude” related to his job, which could lead to his $31,448 annual pension being revoked.
>> The charges relate to child pornography found on a computer in Scully’s home. His computer was searched after Scully caught a boy looking at pornography on a library computer and invited him back to his house to safely look at it there. The boy’s foster father later went to police, concerned about what he said was an “unusual relationship” between the boy and Scully
oops I guess he wasn’t fired—he managed to retire but knew charges were pending against him. Later he said he needed his pension money because he had to pay for his GPS bracelet. Also had been “accumulating credit card debt” (buying porn?)
>>Scully, 60, is being monitored by a GPS bracelet and is subject to random searches of his computer and had been also ordered to not have unsupervised contacts with children under 16, not possess pornography and continue to undergo counseling.
