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.

A judge used child porno while he was employed as a judge supposedly protecting children? That sounds like U.S. judges who discriminate against citizens and deprive them of Rights Under Color of Law while pretending to be agents of justice. Similar to the Bosnian war criminal who pretended to be a holistic health practitioner. Criminals in robes.
