A former USC professor once on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted fugitives list pleaded guilty Friday to flying to the Philippines and having sex with several underage boys he groomed online. Walter Lee Williams, 65, admitted engaging in illegal sexual contact with minors in foreign places, entering the plea during a brief appearance before U.S. District Judge Phillip S. Gutierrez. As part of a plea, federal prosecutors agreed to recommend that the onetime eminent professor of gender and sexuality studies serve no more than five years in a federal prison. He also would be subject to 10 years supervision upon release and must pay $25,000 in restitution to his seven victims. Williams will be sentenced Dec. 15. He was apprehended within a day of making the FBI's Most Wanted List in June 2013 after he was indicted on sex crimes involving two 14-year-old boys in the Philippines. He was captured in the Mexican coastal town of Playa del Carmen after a resident recognized his photo from a newspaper.

Yet another contribution to the mighty edifice of honor and prestige that is the great field of Gender and Sexuality Studies!
Does this qualify him for an award from the Kinsey Institute?
Post photo of his face.
I guess he was just doing "research".
$100 says the theme of his classes was always “respect your sex drive and everyone else’s” and “be Proud of anything you want to do to get your jollies.”
I’m sad for his name.
14 there is like 35 in the US..
It’s all part of his stuuuddddy I’m sure.
If he was a priest they would blame the church, but as he is a professor, they won’t blame the university.
You don't need to speak. What you are is already screaming at me.
Outstanding Teacher?
IMHO most teachers in the US, today, are criminally incompetent.
He’ll be getting his jollies now for sure.. Clink time.
I may well be lacking in imagination but I can't even *begin* to fathom what a typical class in "gender and sexuality studies" might be like.
“Williams taught anthropology, gender studies and history at USC for about two decades until he quit in 2011. Under the guise of academic research on sexuality in the Southeast Asia/Pacific region, he repeatedly traveled to the area.
“Federal prosecutors alleged that the author and Fulbright Award winner used those trips to have sex with underage boys. Investigators believe he has at least 10 victims across Southeast Asia, aged 9 to 17.”
Alums, just keep on donating to good old SC - your donations go to fund exciting new research!
If the public were fully aware of how common this kind of criminal conduct is at universities, many would be shut down or radically modified.
They might want to check out those archives for more criminals
He’ll be getting his jollies now for sure.. Clink time.
Cons don’t like child molesters much in jail....
Why would anyone pay money for their kids to go to a college that even has a gender and sexuality studies department?
I’m sure this perv will get his defenders on FR as did the Ped State alum who came through for their nambla member.
Good point.
professor of gender and sexual studies!????
(there’s a clue, if there ever was one.... ha!)
sort of like guys wearing burkas trying to board airliners...
