Ex-Juvenile Court Judge Pleads Guilty to Viewing Child Porn at Law Office
A former juvenile court judge in Tennessee has pleaded guilty to possessing more than 100 images of child pornography on the computer at his law office.
The former judge, Ronald R. Reagan of Sevierville, was sentenced to 46 months in prison and 10 years of supervised release, the Knoxville News Sentinel reports. As a juvenile court judge Reagan set up an advocacy center that was a safe haven for abused children.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Weddle said Reagan discussed child porn in an Internet chat room and accepted 104 images of children having sex with adult men. He reportedly confessed when investigators confronted him at his law office in 2006, the story says.
