Newly unsealed documents reveal that federal agents seized dozens of DVDs and videos last month from a Gonzaga University faculty office and apartment as part of an ongoing child pornography investigation, reported The Spokesman-Review.
The investigation is looking into online purchases and movie downloads allegedly made by a professor who was placed on administrative leave by the University following the raid, which took place last month.
“The university is deeply saddened to read the contents of the search warrant,” Earl “Marty” Martin, Executive Vice President at Gonzaga, told the newspaper. “The safety and security of our campus is our utmost concern.”
According to court records, someone using a faculty member’s credit card spent more $1,654 on 29 purchases between Dec. 26, 2008, and Jan. 15, 2011, from a Toronto film company that was raided in 2010 under a joint investigation by U.S. and Canadian law enforcement agencies.
