RADNOR, Pa. (CBS) — Police say Villanova professor Christopher Haas, 60, has been charged with possessing child pornography.

Haas allegedly had over 400 images of child pornography on his computer. Authorities say the investigation began in 2012.

Radnor Township Police say Haas is in Delaware County Prison following his arrest on charges related to a nearly four-year investigation by federal homeland security officials of his computer activity at home.

Radnor Township Lt. Andy Block said “Dr. Haas was charged with 415 counts of sexual abuse of children and the possession of child pornography falls under that section of the crimes code, the Pennsylvania Crimes Code.”
