Former Professor, Child Welfare Advocate Sentenced For Collecting Kiddie Porn

Wright State University

The former Wright State University professor and Oakwood school board president convicted of collecting child pornography has been sentenced to 15 months in federal prison. 77-year-old James Uphoff pleaded guilty last year to collecting more than 500 images and hundreds of stories about pedophilia. Uphoff has been recognized for more than 40 years as a leading expert on early childhood education. He also volunteered as a courtroom advocate for abused and neglected children.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
