Do a search for John T. Neisworth, a world-renowned expert on childhood developmental disorders, specifically autism. He's retired from Penn State and has quite a history of being accused (both criminally and in civil court) of raping a boy over a 3-year period while employed at Penn State.
Professor charged with molestation (2005 article)
Did Penn State Ignore Other Sexual Abuse Claims? (Nov 15, 2011)
Arizona man says Penn State officials ignored his report of abuse by a former professor (Nov 15, 2011)
Paul McLaughlin, the alleged victim (now 45 yrs old), apparently has evidence that is quite compelling; at least it was to a DA in Maryland. McLaughlin, as an adult, was in therapy and decided to pursue his childhood abusers, so he tape-recorded phone calls to Neisworth and his two friends who allegedly participated in the abuse.
The statute of limitations had not expired in Maryland, so a Maryland DA brought criminal charges against Neisworth & his friends (they allegedly participated in the abuse that lasted 3 years).
Here's a link to one of Neisworth's cohorts who was also charged: Funnyman's Past Has Finally Caught Up To Him (has photos of all 3 men)
I don't know if Neisworth is guilty or not. However, it doesn't look very good for him if he's innocent. Besides paying McLaughlin a private lawsuit settlement, one of his earliest studies (his dissertation, i think) in the late 60's/early '70s involved congenitally-blind children and observing their "autoerotic" habits. That, plus he and one of the other men arrested (Smith) have collaborated on several studies involving young autistic kids. One of those studies had them hanging out at elementary schools to observe little boys "in the lavatory" to see if they threw away trash as they were instructed. (Donald Smith was working at Penn State also at the time, if i'm remembering correctly.)
Maybe it's all just a coincidence.
Welcome to FR and excellent excellent linking of details from other problem employees at Pennetrate State.
