(CNN) A Villanova University history professor is out of the classroom and behind bars on 415 counts related to child pornography.
Christopher Haas, 60, was arrested in his campus office Monday after the university notified local police that a computer in a common area had been flagged for visits to a child porn site, said Lt. Andy Block with the Radnor, Pennsylvania, police.
A search at Haas’ residence as part of a separate federal investigation also found more than 400 images of child pornography on a personal computer, Block said.
“It’s a very disappointing investigation or case when you get this, that someone is in the academic field and has the ability to shape students’ minds and then they’re engaged in this type of behavior,” Block said.
