Fired Child Porn Whistleblowers: Prof's Still On Payroll

Bad: Two computer geeks who blew the whistle on a New York Law School professor up to his cyberears in child porn were fired for their trouble. Worse: The professor is still on the law school payroll, despite pleading guilty April 14 to one hundred counts of possessing child porn.

"Instead of shooting the messengers," said Dorothea Perry to the New York Post, "the school should have at least suspended (the professor) without pay."

Perry and Robert Gross say they were fired wrongly for finding and reporting the child porn they discovered on Edward Samuels's computer - a cache that amounted to over ten thousand images, including images of babies being sexually assaulted.

Samuels remains free pending his June 23 sentencing, but Perry and Gross are suing New York Law School for $15 million, the Post said, after their rankings dove from excellent to negative to pink slip territory after they reported Samuels's child porn cache.
