Ivy League Professor Caught with Videos That Show Him Having Sex with Children, Feds Say

At least he’s off the streets. What a disgusting shame.

Hang the pervert.

If found guilty, lock him up and throw away the key. His kind finances one of the most dehumanizing and destructive practices of modern times; the slave trade of little children.

Hang him! Hang him high!

just another case of a sick fellow destroying the lives of defenseless children…
I hope he’s widely disclosed publicly as the sick pervert he is…
Can you say death penalty?? That’s what I think is appropriate!!!

I quit Wharton MBA program after a year to continue full-time work. The reasons included mediocre teaching and arrogant professors and administration

these dogs should hang for what they do to kids. perverts!!!

Lets quit calling them ‘sick’ perverts; Its called ‘sin’ and ‘evil behavior’.They don’t need Doctors, they need to be put in jail for life.

What is everyone so upset about? This is just an alternative lifestyle… RIGHT? You are all just a bunch of intolerant, right-wing, facists, religious, bigots! OK..OK… I am only kidding. Just wanted to let all of you know how it feels when you get this kind of response from left-wing wackos everytime you try to defend moral behavior and speak out against every other kind of abhorent behavior (i.e., transexual, transgendered, beastiality, homosexuality, etc. etc.). Pedophilia is just one step lower than these sickening behaviors and we are on the slippery slope now.

Filthy dog…too bad he wasn;t around in Old Testament days when God judged right on the spot…
Wonder how many more like him are roaming around out there? Teaching in scholls where you think your kids are safe…
That’s all gone folks ..NO PLACE is safe anymore…and I trust no one with my kids ..can’t anymore…perverts could be living next door to you too…just don’t know these days…Society is wicked…creeps roaming around all over the place…looking for trouble…

Scumbag.

What’s done in secret will eventually be exposed. Evil has been exposed…once again. I’m embarassed and don’t even know the man. I hope he’s eventually “set free” from his perverted lifestyle (maybe jail will help); admitting he is a pedophile and wanting help would be a step towards that freedom. Until then, he chooses to remain a slave. What irony.

Child sex/pornography is a widespread, albeit vile, phenomenon among the ruling-class elite. These sick individuals are not like you and I. They consider themselves to be above the law hold utter contempt for us “useless eaters”. Do an Internet search on the “Bohemian Grove” to learn more about how world leaders engage in acts of mock human sacrifice and Satanic worship.

One can not blame one for having Cancer or Heart Disease, so why blame a patient with sexual abnormalities. I say the man needs medical attention and therapy and not the vedictiveness exhibited all over. My sympathies goes out the victimized children, and to the family of the accused. i wish him recovery from this dreadful disorder.

You are all missing the real issue here. This guy is clearly ill and needs serious psychological help. Hang’em high, and all the other rot you vultures spew misses the point. Your mob like mentality is pathetic. Do you really think he “chose” to flush his career, dreams, and reputation away in this manner?

I attended Wharton several years ago for 3 semesters. I never had that creep as one of my professors, but most of the male professors at Wharton are arrogant and pompous. Almost any other MBA program in the country is better than Wharton’s.

Why would we expect behavior like this to be punished correctly in American society when children are routinely killed when not wanted?? Rather than kill their “unplanned” kids, Thailand has figured a way to make money off of them. It won’t be long in the USA when this same thing will occur. Godless officials make godless people.

Oh- you think he is bad- you should check out the school of psychology and the extremely poor “research” that essentially says that molestation of children doesn’t necessarily harm children and that some children “benefit” from it. All PENN profs aren’t like those monsters. Some are champions for the cause of victimology of children. Check out Dr.Anne Wolford Burgess who headed up the OENN Nursing School’s Psychiatry tract- now there is a hero that has honorably dedicated her life to figuring out how to profile and track these creeps. PENN- like all institutions of learning need to take a hard look- make some changes in their tenure policies and get the losers out of there. There is also the Jerry Lee Center of Criminology at PENN that does alot of great work in this area. All of the Schools have bad guys. They need to be taken out of the schools and society.

The custom’s agent should be given a bonus

Awful. Put them in prison for a very long time.
And keep these kids in your prayers please.
Jill.

What do we expect when we never properly punish these sick individuals. I’ve said a million times that you must question the morals, values and thoughts of the Judges who allow these sexual preditors to exist. Is it because they are indeed sick themselves?????? Why would any Judge feel an iota of compassion for someone who would commit such an act of atrocity! Why would any animal that sexaully assaults a child ever see the light of day again. That’s exactly why we need more women in power, to change these laws that boggle the mind because they were established without a lick of common sense! Women would never allow these men to ever walk among the human population! And we wonder why we have so many repeat offenders!

An 8-year-old child. A 63-year-old man. Thousands of faceless children are out there, suffering from this sort of exploitation and abuse. WE DO NOTHING. Each one of us needs to PROTEST the foreign policies of the Bush Administration. We, as a government, aren’t condemning it, so, in a sense, we are condoning it. If the raping of children isn’t worthy of our WRATH, then what is? EMAIL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES NOW! These defenseless kids need our help, they need YOU TO DO SOMETHING! They are being raped by pedophiles as we post these comments. If we continue to do nothing, we are voyeurs to the atrocity & not activists AGAINST it. Together, we can make a difference! Let each of us be heroic enough to create a critical mass of non-tolerance against this dehumanization. There is strength in numbers and your voice is vitally important. YOU ARE SIGNIFICANT.
As for Lawrence Scott Ward, I hope his souvenir tapes help to convict him. The maximum prison sentence would not be enough punishment for someone who commits an act such as this against a child. HORRIFIC!

College Professor mentality. The liberal schools protect these people, not to mention the ACLU.

Matthew 18 v 6. His future does not look bright. Look it up and beware….

This guy is only one of many that are guilty of this dehumanizing conduct with the little innocents.
This should not end here. All Americans participating in these atrocities should get the harshest sentence and should be made to compensate these children to help turn their lives around. Let them spend their money to help those they’ve harmed.

Over 300,000 public school children in all grades are sexually assulted very year by our precious academians and teachers….Hang the perverts

Over the years as I read of the pedophilia and sex perversions committed against the world’s children by individuals well placed and well heeled and very many in goverment positions, I was a skeptic of a sorts when many investigtors stated there was an organized world-wide ring of these monsters. I am no skpetic anymore. The child sex rings that have been exposed in Great Britain, Belgium and elsewhere and the oft whispered rumors of the same activity within the United States by men in goverment and business..is just too much and too widespread to be ignored anymore. We are ruled by and lauded over by as near a pack of sewer rats as anyone could ever imagine…and I apologize to rats in the animal kingdom for the comparison. Let’s bring back public executions on the village green. This is one category of crime and punishment that I would show up to watch with my lounge chair and “knitting needles”.

Luke 17:2
2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
–Jesus Christ.

I am curious why some of you are bashing past and present presidents. This is not a party(Dem/Republican) problem this is a problem with these sick people. So get over yourselves and stop using this as a way to smash one administration over another. It is sad that 8 year olds are subjected to this but for some reason all some of you see is an oppurtunity to get one over on the other party. That is Pathetic!

I think someone should put a gun to this guys head and execute him. Either that or publicly castrate him.

Regarding the poster who compared Cancer & Heart Disease to Pedophilia. I feel that is an extremely poor comparison. Cancer & Heart Disease do not have external victims and are not criminal acts. A cancer patient does not SEEK OUT TO HARM OTHERS. My sympathy rests more with the children than with the perpetrator.
Lawrence Scott Ward has repeatedly been arrested for having sex with teenage boys, yet he remains on the faculty of Wharton. He has been getting away with this for years. He isn’t trying to rehabilitiate himself. He’s only trying to procure more children to feed his sickness. Yes, he needs medical treatment, AS DO THE CHILDREN WHO ARE BEING RAPED. Professor Ward knows these acts are wrong/illegal/immoral. Yet, he isn’t trying to get help, he’s only trying to snag another child. My heart goes out to the innocent children who are sold to pedophiles. They have no voice.

It is because of people like this monster who made it so important for parents and caretakers of small childern to teach them all the necessary precautions to take, and what to watch out for, so that they don’t become victims to these perverts.
It only takes one unfortunate incident to scare a child for life.

One thing in favor of killing him, and I do mean that he is found guilty first, is that he will NEVER EVER do that to another little girl or boy for as long as he Doesnt live. That is protecting society…..

“WHY don’t we ‘sanction’ the corrupt government of Thailand until they crack down on the child prostitution/exploitation horrificallly going on there? Why does Uncle Sam turn a blind eye and allow our relations w/them to be ‘normal’?”
There you go. Blame the USA.
Give me a break. Put the blame where it’s due-this schmuck who did it! Geesh.

BASEM, I respect your opinion & appreciate your considerate response to mine.
You stated that pedophilia is even more insidious than cancer/heart disease. You say a pedophile is unable to get a reprieve from the symptoms. Again, I must protest against your comparison of cancer & heart disease to pedophilia. Pedophilia is not a disease, it is a mental disorder which manifests itself in the harming of innocent children. This disorder then creates CRIMINAL acts against society, the weakest, voiceless, most vulnerable members of our society.
Many cancer patients live in constant physical & mental agony. Often there is no reprieve, only death. I do not see pedophiles facing the life & death struggle that most cancer patients are forced to cope with. A dying person has only one desire: TO LIVE. The pedophile’s desire: TO MOLEST A CHILD. Pedophiles are predators, searching for more victims to gratify themselves sexually. Treatment would be welcomed, if it worked. Unfortunately, altering sexual preferences via therapy has NOT proven successful. And, forcing ANY therapy on an unwilling patient is extremely ineffectual. Incarceration is the proper course of action when someone violates the law. Pedophiles always repeat their activities leaving society in jeopardy. Sex offenders have an even higher recidivism rate than other criminals. Punishment is warranted. A crime has been committed.
The true victims are NOT the pedophiles. The true victims are the innocent children. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO WILL NOT GET A “REPRIEVE.” They will SUFFER the consequences of a pedophile’s abuse for the rest of their lives on a daily basis. A pedophile forever damages the psyche of EACH CHILD he ABUSES over the course of his lifetime. His actions will permanently scar dozens if not hundreds of children . His victims will suffer the long term effects of child abuse. For them, the ability to TRUST others is shattered. Feeling SAFE & SECURE is next to impossible.
The “lynch mob mentality” regarding Lawrence Scott Ward is understandable. This individual does not admit to his crimes nor to his disorder. He takes no responsibility. He doesn’t seek help. He dodges & denies. His college cohorts further insulate him from accountability–continuing to support him while hiding the truth. His money provides legal protection & the financial means to broaden his deviant conquests. What is truly appalling is the lack of protection children have, not only in Thailand but in the United States of America. My compassion rests wholly with the children for their suffering NEVER ceases.

Scott Ward did teach in Thailand, where many US professors come to help provide high level education to students in a developing country. Sex with chidren has historically not been seen as it is today, witness Henry VIII who married a child at 14. Sex with your own children has sometimes been condoned by God – see the Book of Job. Don’t go overboard because of this case, because Wharton had nothing to do with it and one man may have (has he been found guilty yet? It is not in the article…). Someone once said Let he who is without sin cast the first stone, yet that appears to be a lost voice here.

“Our government trades with Thailand & could require the government of Thailand to crack down on these human rights abuses. The United States has the political clout & the economic muscle to MAKE A DIFFERENCE…”
As “mighty” as the US is, they cannot “muscle” Thailand to their will. Thailand has always done things *THEIR* way, and it has served their people well for over 800 years. This is why Thailand was never colonized, and this is why Thailand would never bend to a western power that thinks they’re superior. It’s *THEIR* country, and *THEIR* so-called problem. Even if the US cut off all economic ties with Thailand, the Thai economy would not suffer. Thailand is a strong as resiliant country with strong people who DO NOT LIKE foreigners telling them how to run their country.
“America has always stood for FREEDOM, LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. We have a responsibility as a civilized society to DO MORE”
You’re implication that Thailand is not civilized shows how much you know about the world. This is why the entire world despises Americans.

This case with its implications of high political, “elite.” connections is only the tip of the iceberg.
There is more than abundant evidence that earth’s ruling class is deeply rooted in ancient rituals of pedophilia accompanied by other dark secrets… occult rituals and sacrifices.

In response to James Wu ~~ I never implied that the country of Thailand was not civilized. That is a GROSS misunderstanding of what I wrote. I stated that the government of Thailand is not taking decisive action to close down the child sex slavery tourism industry. Slavery is not civilized, in any country, at any time. It is not a “so-called problem” — it is a crime against humanity.
It is quite clear from your post that you despise Americans. You feel we are, as you say, “superior.” Yet, regardless of how much hatred you have for the United States and its citizens, I wish you could look at what this issue is about. It is about ending something that is harming innocent children. The focus is not just Thailand. It is on shutting down specific places that pedophiles run to so they can rape children.
As someone who respects and honors all people, may I say your ingratitude towards America is rather disappointing, but typical. If the United States of America had not come to the aid of Thailand in 1997, things would look much different for this country. When the baht was failing, bankruptcy loomed, unemployment was rampant, and most international investors had lost confidence in Thailand, it was the USA that came help. The International Monetary Fund bailed out this struggling country in its time of need. They provided loans which allowed Thailand to rebuild their international reserves and stabilized their economy. America should be recognized and appreciated for its confidence & support of Thailand. I guess you could say we used our “mighty muscles” to pick up a fallen friend. All I can say is, “YOU’RE WELCOME.”

The story here isn’t the kiddie play, it’s the methods used to flag and search his baggage. “Excessive” what is excessive and how is it defined? Also, when identifying luggage, at which point to you start viewing peoples DVD’s and using theing computer?
It’s not about his actions, it’s about the lack of due process and the invasion of privacy. I hope he gets off because these tactics simply aren’t acceptable against American Citizens.

“Just wanted to let all of you know how it feels when you get this kind of response from left-wing wackos everytime you try to defend moral behavior and speak out against every other kind of abhorent behavior (i.e., transexual, transgendered, beastiality, homosexuality, etc. etc.). Pedophilia is just one step lower than these sickening behaviors and we are on the slippery slope now.”
WOAH THERE. You did NOT just equate homosexuality to pedophilia, did you? Tell me, in a homosexual relationship, where is the victim?
Besides, you’re writing off a legitimate sexual orientation as a “perversion” just because you don’t prefer it yourself. How would you feel if I classified your religion as a mental disease?

What’s with all the political posturing? Some old man diddled an 8 year old. At that point I don’t really think his political affiliation matters.
As for the ‘disease’ discussion, that’s how discussions began with homosexuality, etc. Later it slowly morphed into “this is what I am.” I’m not trying to compare the two, I’m just pointing out that pedophiles are attempting to use previously successful patterns to become integrated into society.
Our society, being developed, needs members to go through a long developmental phase in order to produce well educated adults prepared to contribute positively to society. We need to protect our children from these predators in order to ensure our future.
Pedophile tourism turns children into a commodity. It cripples developing nations by leaving entire generations psychologically scarred and physically diseased in exchange for easy money to the organizers, who do nothing to improve their society because that would only limit their acess to ‘raw materials.’
It’s sickening.
Millions travel to Thailand and other countries to engage in this activity. Millions. We caught one. By luck. Hooray for the good guys, I guess.
You may now resume your political rants.

To Andrew E, who suggested that ICE jumped the gun on this, it is my understanding that customs, unlike federal agents in other situations, do not need a warrant or any probable cause to search a bag — I believe they can just choose bags at random and search them. So I don’t believe they jumped the gun at all.
To Mary Saint, the IMF did come to the aid of Thailand after the Asian Financial Crisis. However, I understand that IMF policies are blamed for allowing the crisis to happen in the first place by many, in the West as well as in the East. Further, you don’t mention the role that foreign investor speculation, much from American investors, had in the crisis.
Back to the subject at hand, the Thai government certainly bears a large share of the responsibility, as many Thai citizens themselves would contend, for this ongoing horror. The American and other Western citizens who go to these countries to exploit children are the most guilty. But the American government does not encourage child sex tourism and cannot realistically be described as ‘looking the other way’ — it fiercely prosecutes any child sex tourists it finds. Cutting the testicles off of any man returning from a flight to Thailand is not the answer. Searching for videos in every bag sounds like a good idea but wouldn’t have any real effect in the long term. People who travel to rape children don’t do it on a whim, I believe; they are calculating individuals who seek to minimize expected risks. I say ‘expected’ because some would say this guy got sloppy buy bringing his photos or footage with him, but I doubt he expected an extensive search based on his travel history. When such searches become normal, the perps will just encrypt their footage and upload it to an anonymous email or internet storage account.
The real cause of this problem IMO is the combination of poverty and corruption in these countries. Perhaps just corruption. If the corruption were eliminated, third worlders would cease offending us with these news stories about child sex slavery, and just confine themselves to living short, bleak, impoverished lives somewhere out of our sight.

Andrew E-
Customs officials at a Port of Entry can search anything (and anyone) entering the U.S. without probable cause and without a warrant.
They didn’t even need to have noticed the “excessive” trips to Thailand, but clearly used it as a flag (or profile) to focus on travelers more likely than others to be violating the law.
Nothing is 100% perfect, but it shows that non-ethnic profiling works. Rush Limbaugh was closely searched coming back from the Dominican Republic and was possibly flagged for such travel.
It’s all perfectly legal. There is no punishment for “excessive” travel to any country (maybe except Cuba) although delays and other inconveniences at the Port of Entry are certainly possible. That’s the way it goes.
I salute U.S. Customs for catching this guy and urge that he be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Someone needs to take Tolerance to a human sexuality class so he doesn’t end up making the same defunct arguments that always get beaten to death by people who know what they are talking about.
Reality Check:
Pedophiles (and I’m talking about real pedophiles, not the media induced fearmongering against anyone caught buggering a teenager) may be trying to use the same tactic, but they have a much larger wall to climb. Their fixation is on a group 1. that can not legally give consent and 2. is not developed enough physically for sex. I don’t foresee anyone, either in law or the APA, ever speaking out in favour using children as pleasure puppets. I mean hell, the soccer moms and religious right get their panties in a bunch as it is just talking about teenagers and their hyperdrive libido being given more than an inch legally.

It’s because people don’t have Jesus or read the bible!!eleven!!11
Please, as a christian I can assure you me and others like myself are no more or less moral than those with other beliefs. We all have free will to make our own choices and this Prof made one of the worst. He and he alone should be punished and accept the blame and not hide behind a lack of faith or mental illness

Pedophilia is NOT an orientation.
People of other orientations and lifestyles have consenting relationships. Pedophilia is NOT consenting, it is PREDATORY.
YES it was his choice, you just don’t sexually abuse kids for no reason.
Besides, what white person visits Thailand on a habitual basis for something other than that purpose?
I am against violence, but violence against pedophiles is justified.

Fellow posters, we are getting off track, however I must respond …..
To Orange Lazarus…You wrote, “I understand that IMF policies are blamed for allowing the crisis to happen in the first place by many, in the West as well as in the East. Further, you don’t mention the role that foreign investor speculation, much from American investors, had in the crisis.”
Your understanding of the situation is rather unconventional. International economists with an objective knowledge of emerging markets would strongly disagree with your personal opinion.
To make the US a scapegoat for Thailand’s economic woes of the late 1990′s is utterly and completely absurd. America rescued a sinking ship which had steered its OWN VESSEL into a huge iceberg. The IMF gave repeated warnings to Thailand as Japan was facing a deep recession & Hong Kong was returning to Chinese rule, both factors greatly impacting the Thai economy. The implacable refusal of the Central Bank to unpeg the baht depleted reserves leading to eventual bankruptcy. It is clear that Thailand’s Central Bank demonstrated incompetence and arrogance, REPEATEDLY refusing to take the prescient advise of the IMF. The Bank of Thailand foolishly ignored the poor lending practices that were running rampant and often further ignored the CRIMINAL activity that was occurring within their organization, specifically the Bangkok Bank of Commerce scandal which under-collateralized lending and often granted unsecured loans based on personal connection with banking administrators. The corruption & deception of that was occurring in Thailand was self-inflicted. To accuse the US for shooting a bullet is not only inaccurate. It is comical. They REMOVED the bullet and DRESSED the wound. Again, “You’re Welcome.”

It astonishes me that so many Americans expect their prisoners or guards to exact justice on each other. You might begin to see that your system has an elite at the top and child prostitutes waaaaaaaaaay down at the bottom. Prisoners are mostly those caught in the middle. Provide food, warmth and shelter to all, and most of your problems would disappear.
When child prostitutes have to work the streets (everywhere) just to survive, what kind of a system is that? If a country can’t provide for it’s basic needs, there is a problem.

As a “visiting professor at Chulalongkorn University in Thailand”, Ward had a perfectly legimate excuse for multiple visits to Thailand- yet supposedly Customs plays his DVDs right there in the airport?
And if he had porn on his computer, wouldn’t he password protect it’s access until his lawyer was present? These details seem strange to me…

open you eyes and follow the trail to the white house.see how much of this is not reported on the news.i predict that much of this stuff will come out and bring a president down….

Maybe Lakehead University in Ontario, can take down the Yale-Shmale adds and use a slogan like, “just because you are an Ivy League Profesor, doesn’t mean you are not a sexual predator”….

Seems we mostly have hypocrites here; with all their pompous-ity, self-righteoness, seems we mostly have hypocrites.
‘Tolerance’ spoke well, and am sure that most of the pompous idiots who’ve spoken out here supported the totally [obvious] hellbent war of entirely criminal and unjustifiable aggression on Iraq, as well as that on Afghanistan, and …, not unlikely, the same and ever worse on Iran!
As for other countries’ support of hellbent Wrong torwards childen, Americans certainly have no historical bases to truthfully speak from. Americans still [refuse] to honour the the [treaties] with the First Nations Peoples, the No. American Indians, and Mexicans, who had a fair share of today continental USA; are still racist as hell; etc., etc., etc.

What is it about people who seek positions of power over the rest of us? So many of them are sexual perverts. This child abuse is more widespread among the elite than most of realise. They do an amazing job of covering it up. The media doesn’t report it though often the facts are there for any diligent reporter to see. There is a huge coverup going on and it starts at the White House and 10 Downing Street. Remember Dunblane?

In reply to “Tolerance”:
The difference between homosexuality and pedophilia is night and day, when judged by the standard of *harm.* No one is harmed by consentual behavior. Victimless “crimes” undermine the foundation of a free society. If you group pedophiles with gays on the basis of how “disgusting” their “crimes” are, you reduce to an asthetic judgement (a matter of taste) the harm done to children by pedophiles. That said, I support your right to find gay sex disgusting, and your right not to engage in it.

One should not be surprised about this deviant sick behaviour. Various countries even have legalized homosexual marriage and what would be next to follow?. It is time for law and order and a big fist that comes down on all that sick society.
