An award-winning contemporary literature professor was sentenced to six years and four months in federal prison for his massive child pornography collection that topped a half million images, a federal judge said on Monday.

Kirk Nesset's sentencing also included 10 years of supervised release after he serves his time.

The 58-year-old resigned from Allegheny College in Meadville after he was arrested in October 2014 and pleaded guilty last year to possessing, receiving and sharing child pornography.

Nesset has anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and is bi-polar and, 'for Kirk, obsessive collecting was more important than viewing,' defense attorneys Meagan Temple and Michael Bruzzese wrote in a pre-sentencing memo filed last week.

The defense attorneys contend Nesset sought mental health treatment for years, but because his therapist would have had to report the child pornography addiction to authorities, Nesset did not disclose it.

As a result, his symptoms were treated but not their underlying cause and defense attorneys argued he deserved mercy because he has actively sought treatment since his arrest.

However, Assistant U.S. Attorney Christian Trabold contended Nesset's collection of 540,000 child porn movies and images including infant rapes — many cataloged into specific computer folders to denote their type — warranted harsh punishment.

'Nesset possessed numerous movies and images depicting babies and toddlers subjected to horrific acts of sexual abuse,' Trabold wrote.

Nesset told authorities he used the materials to find 'solace' and to 'release steam,' Trabold wrote

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::stop::finger::finger: This is ridiculous!!
There are so many things you can "collect" ...
Baseball cards will probably get you far less time in prison.

Bay shore :shrug: Bayshore ... B ay Sh o re .. all the same shit :p
.. and I guess baseball cards can be quite dangerous after all :D maybe a collection of bunny figurines would be safer?
 
I call bullshit on his defense. He could have collected ANYTHING except child porn...if he so felt the need to collect. Buttons, pics of butterflies, pics of cars...anything except babies being raped. What a poor excuse they used. His sentence is ridiculous. People with a lot less porn that he...have been sentenced to many more years behind bars.
 
Another sad case of evil demented perversion.a friend of mine recently started reading dreamin demon and she made the comment that " well at least he acknowledged the fact that he has a sickness and he didnt act on his fantasies and actually molest a child." my reply was WE DONT KNOW IF HE HAS EVER MOLESTED A CHILD AND CHILD PORN IS NOT A VICTIMLESS CRIME THE CHILDREN IN THOSE VIDEOS WERE HURT,SCARED,AND TRAUMATIZED FOR LIFE!!! and as long as sickos are watching child porn there will always be a high demand for it and therefore children will continue to be used for these disgusting videos and baby rapers will continue to watch them for their sick pleasure and enjoyment.this is another case of a pedophile getting a lighter prison sentence because of his social status and the size of his bank account.
 
Where is that nice lady judge that just handed out that life plus thirty years or something close to that anyway...we need her right now to be stepping in a making this right. SIX YEARS for one guy...life for another. Why can't they all be jailed for life....ALL of them.
