Ward claimed later, none of the events in the chat log actually took place and he was roll playing doing research for a book he was writing.

He did distribute child porn and he did sign a confession in a plea bargan.

It is possible that his stated exploits were fantasy rather than reality .

KGO will probably give him his old time slot upon release.

Thanks.

Below is a screen capture of the self-admitted child pornographer/pervert in action on MSNBC.

He confessed to distributing child pornography and he engaged in internet chat sessions in which he described sexual acts performed upon his own children. Later, his defense would allege that this was "all pretend" in order to "do research for a book" and that the sexual acts never occurred. But what kind of sick man would describe sexual acts performed upon his own children in order to do research for a book?

BTW, the investigation never turned up even a shred of evidence that Bernie Ward was working on any kind of a book. So the "I was just doing research" gambit did not work out too well for him. And at any rate, Ward did concede that he did distribute the child pornography.
