COO of National Children’s Museum is busted. Guess for what?


I'll bet you figured it out!

The chief operating officer of the National Children’s Museum was arrested Tuesday and is charged with distributing child pornography over the Internet.

Robert A. Singer is accused of sending images depicting child pornography to people he believed to be a 12-year-old girl and her 33-year-old mother. In reality he was communicating with an undercover detective for the New York Police Department.

Some of the pornographic images were sent from Singer’s computer at the museum, according to an affidavit filed in support of the charges by a special agent who investigates child pornography and child exploitation for U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.

A search of Singer’s AOL account activity showed that from July to September, he sent about 80 images featuring child pornography to people including the detective, authorities said in the statement. Also, the search revealed that he had received about 10 images and one video depicting child pornography.

I think this is termed “knocking off the low-hanging fruit”. He was using his AOL account? Cripes.
