Radnor police say a Villanova professor has been charged with possession of hundreds of child pornography images after investigators were alerted to his alleged activities by university officials.
Police say Christopher Haas, 60, of Paoli was arrested Monday and then charged with hundreds of counts.
David Tedjeske, director of public safety at Villanova University, outlined some details of the case during a press conference with Radnor police Thursday afternoon.
“The university takes the security of its electronic systems very seriously and monitors Internet activity across campus for inappropriate use of those resources,” Tedjeske said. “Our security alerted us to a suspicious condition involving Internet access in late March of this year. The subsequent investigation revealed that a faculty member in the History/Classical Studies department had accessed child pornography from a computer in a common area of an office in the [St. Augustine] center.”
