MILWAUKEE (AP) A University of Wisconsin-Madison professor has acknowledged e-mailing naked photos of himself to a 14-year-old boy, according to a criminal complaint filed in Milwaukee County Circuit Court.
Lewis Keith Cohen, 59, was charged Tuesday with one count of using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime and one count of child enticement with intent to expose a sex organ to a child and cause a child to expose a sex organ.
The complaint said police arrested Cohen on March 15 at a Subway restaurant in the Milwaukee suburb of Greendale, where Cohen had arranged to the meet the boy in an e-mail the day before.
He was released Friday from the Milwaukee County Jail after agreeing to surrender his passport.
The 10-page complaint cites lengthy, verbatim e-mail exchanges of a sexually explicit nature which allegedly occurred between Cohen and a detective posing as the boy, leading up to the plan to meet.
Cohen is scheduled to make an initial court appearance on the charges Friday.
Defense attorney Mike Chernin said he would address questions of probable cause at the hearing.
UW-Madison officials have placed Cohen on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation into any violations of university policies, said Gary Sandefur, dean of the College of Letters and Science.
Upon receiving the photos, the boy was heard to have exclaimed, "Ewwwwwwww!"
UW-Madison.
Imagine that.
If this isn't President Bush's fault,
then I have no idea what else it could
be.
Wait, I know. It's the 14-year-old boy's
fault. Or the university's faculty senate,
or the entire Christian church's fault.
Wait. . . . Wait. . . .
and on paid leave.
Professor Cohen was only enhancing his resume. Considering his liberal credentials, he'll be the next president of the University of Wisconsin.
There's a BIT more here.......http://www.madison.com/wsj/home/local/index.php?ntid=33180&ntpid=4
So, there might be some doubt as to whether a 59 year old man sending naked pictures of himself to a minor is against university policy?
Must be a First Amendment thing.
Yeah. If it had been a female college student, they'd probably have canned him outright.
As I contemplate the crime committed by the little bastard in Florida who murdered that beautiful little girl, I wonder what kind of punishment will be meted out to this toad. Will he be released after a slap on the wrist, free to hurt or kill another child?
Isn't the U of Colorado looking for a preident? Probably fit right in with churchill.
Or just south of Wisconsin at Chicago's DePaul University. I don't think they're looking for someone yet, but it doesn't hurt to apply.
GAG ORDER: Is DePaul University silencing a professor for his pro-Israel views?
Homosexual Agenda Ping.
Universities - hotbeds of all manner of perversions (and promoting them as normal-natural-mandatory), mental illness parading as virtue, the most vile of leftist madness - why does anyone send their kids to these pits?
Are there any institutions of higher learning that aren't cesspools?
Let DirtyHarryY2K and me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.
This case is even more bizarre than the Seinfeld episode where George has sex in the office and claims he did not know it was against company policy.
This wouldn't have happened, of course, if university professors were allowed to marry.
I knew someone would post a comment linking this to CU and Churchill.
"Isn't the U of Colorado looking for a preident? Probably fit right in with Churchill."
All this pervert needs to do is become a member of the Faux Indian Tribe, call the victims of 9/11 little Eichman's and give off campus lecturers on how he hates America.
"Are there any institutions of higher learning that aren't cesspools?"
Probably not. In Oregon and California, a conservative professor probably would not be hired, while the perverts and hate America massholes would be be hired.
Is he a professor of engineering?
NAAAAHHHH...
Lewis Keith Cohen, a professor of comparative literature, was arrested Tuesday and is being held on tentative charges of two counts of using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime and one count of exposing a child to harmful materials.
"Isn't the U of Colorado looking for a preident? Probably fit right in with Churchill."
I'm waiting for BLL to post something from Cornell in support of this pervert.
PS. I didn't capitalize "churchill" on purpose.
"I was playing into his fantasy," Cohen, 59, told police, claiming that if the two had met as planned on March 15 they would not have had sex, the complaint said. Instead, Cohen said he planned to drive to a park where the two could "talk about sex" and get "comfortable," which would include playing "show and tell" to "satisfy the curiosity and put a flesh on the fantasy," the compaint said. That included letting the boy touch Cohen's penis if he wanted to, the complaint said.
Freakin' sicko.
