Former Wharton professor Scott Ward was sentenced to 15 years in prison yesterday and was also levied a $17, 500 fine.
Held without bail since an Aug. 27 arrest, Ward plead guilty on February 20 to producing child pornography for importation into the United States. His charge had carried a 15-30 year prison sentence, according to the U.S. District Attorney's Office in Virginia, where he pled guilty.
Ward was arrested in August at Dulles International Airport after a return flight from Brazil when he was found in possession of child pornography. Penn had announced he would no longer teach at the school in August.
