SAN FRANCISCO -- A University of San Francisco professor and former dean of the School of Education has agreed to plead guilty to possessing more than 15,000 pictures of child pornography, including many depicting sadistic or masochistic content, federal prosecutors said today.
William Garner, 66, has also agreed to a sentence of five years and three months in federal prison, a $12,500 fine and a $50,000 payment to a child abuse prevention center, prosecutors said. He is scheduled to be in court Dec. 7.
Garner is a professor at USF's School of Education and was co-founder of the school's Center for Instruction and Technology in 1984, while he was serving as dean. According to the university's Web site, he oversees graduate courses and programs in educational technology.
In his plea agreement, Garner admits knowingly possessing more than 15,000 images of child pornography

Beat me to SFV.
At first I thought USF was the University of Southern Florida.
15,000? Unbelivable.
He "agreed"? to 5 years and 3 months?
Should have been 5 beatings and 3 bullets, IMHO
There.....
Something tells me they weren't pix of girls.
"Should have been 5 beatings and 3 bullets, IMHO"
You are too soft on perverts for my taste!
Oh, you don't KNOW that! What a hurtful, insensitive, incompassionate statement! Just because something like 95% of pederasts and pedophiles are queers, that doesn't mean nothin'. And just 'cause he's from San Francisco, and teaches at a University there, that don't mean he's a sodomite.

If what I just wrote made you sad or angry,
it was probably just a joke.
Founding member of the tribe known as PELOSIANS?
I did too and it sure got my attention!
The profs are the same "people" as the Catholic priests, Foley, Barney Frank, and a few million other homosexuals who talk about "gay pride" and their "lifestyle". Gays and gay sex = disease and child abuse, yet our elected representatives are afraid to talk about it. Instead, they are spending billions of our taxpayer money for AIDS, and endorsing gay marriage, and gay "civil unions". They are afraid to say that gay sex is abnormal and harmful to the public health.
Way too light of a sentence, IMO, plea agreement or no. One can only hope that five years and change is long enough to be a life sentence for this 60-something creep.
IIRC, USF is a private Jesuit school, so this may be more of the same.
Just think what would have happened to him if some were pages.
Oh wait, he's a Democrat. Never mind.
I think you're right. UCSF & SFSU are the State schools.
You should really check your stats. There are a LOT more girl victims than boys, and nearly all the perpetrators are men. If 95% of pedophiles were gay men, and gay men are realistically no more than 3% of the total population (and probably less), then girl victims would be extremely rare.
The best study I saw of it was on the Priest Sex Abuse scandal (I'll say right now, it was an unconcionable rip job on The Church by man hating lesbian prosecutor Lynn Abraham, but the data was clean), and I think something like 94% of the victims were males (beyond puberty, another 3% was actual pre-adolescent males and females).
Also, anecdotally, my brother works as a postal inspector and did child porn stings for several years, and he informed me that the "overwhelming majority" of the victims were male. So that's why I made that statement.
Granted, NEITHER of those two sources are something that I'd use to bolster an arguement on just about any other topic, but this one is just so disgusting that I don't really have the stomach to delve much deeper into.

You need a library, don't you?
Some other stats:
"29% of the adult children of homosexual parents had been specifically subjected to sexual molestation by that homosexual parent, compared to only 0.6% of adult children of heterosexual parents.
"Individuals from 1% to 3% of the population that are sexually attracted to the same sex are committing up to one-third of the sex crimes against children."
Researchers Karla Jay and Allen Young report data showing that 73% of homosexuals surveyed had at some time had sex with boys 16-19 years of age or younger
A study of male child sex offenders found that 14% targeted only males, and 28% chose males as well as females as victims, thus indicating that 42% of male pedophiles engaged in homosexual molestation
According to a 1988 study, "Archives of Sexual Behavior," some 86 percent of pedophiles described themselves as homosexual or bisexual.
