Former CMU Professor Admits To Receiving Child Porn

Posted: Updated:

A former Central Michigan University professor has admitted to receiving child porn.

William Merrill plead guilty to having a child porn video on his CMU computer hard drive, as well as possessing more than 65,000 other images.

The case started after staff at the Mount Pleasant school found videos last fall while they were investigating why 170 gigabytes were transferred from a campus computer.

Merrill resigned from the university back in November and he faces at least 5 years in prison.
