Not anymore!
Looks like the bastard escaped his probation violation by a year..
Looks like it's time for the pedophile to do some hard time.
Semper Fi
This looks like a great 'no frills' site. Thanks.
Thailand????
He has tenure so a job will be waiting for him once this whole pesky thing is taken care of.
I really wish that Thailand would crack down on the perverts with the same fervor they use against drug traffickers.
I don't even want to think about the possibilities of what might have happened here. It also says that he served in the Executive Office of the President. Since it didn't say which President, should we assume that it was a Dem, either Clinton or Carter?
He'll be going from PENN U to a different Pen.
There seems to be an explosion of this crap and I'm afraid that the coverage is only serving to normalize this deviance. This needs to become a capital crime.
If any Republican office holders are reading this, here is a chance to advance conservatism and spotlight our political enemies.
Philly perv ping
Let's see teaching/research resume includes, Pennsylvania, Harvard, Washington and Wisconsin. Can you say mega-liberal. Most employers would have dumped him on his first offense in 1999. In that world he just became a more valuable member of academia. I bet if they took a vote the majority of the faculty at Penn would vote to allow him to keep tenure.
Enough said about the state of our higher education system.
I think I'd rather be caught with a farm animal.
When you look at some people that it's impossible to tell what's going on in their minds.
Nope. Guess not. Hang him.

Geez! Not another one.
Hang him. Predatory scum like this gives human beings a bad name.
Don't know why, but I guessed U of P. Probably it is my favorite Ivy League school to hate. I'm sure I will offend many, but if you have ever attended a U of P faculty event, you have experienced the purest caricature of name dropping and self praising imaginable. Embarrassingly so, and they all bask in it.
This guy ought to work for the UN.
This is not the first time Ward has been accused of sexual misconduct involving minors. In 1999, he was fined $2,500 and sentenced to five years probation after entering a plea that, while not admitting guilt, acknowledged that there was sufficient evidence to convict him. He had been charged with allegedly soliciting sex from a state trooper posing as a 15-year-old.
The same alleged incident had resulted in charges against Ward in 1996. In that year, he was acquitted of one count, while the jury deadlocked on two others.
Ward was acquitted in 1995 of charges that he paid a teenage boy for sex "as many as 50 to 100 times," according to Daily Pennsylvanian coverage at the time.
