Scott Ward, a former University of Pennsylvania professor of Marketing, is currently serving a 15-year sentence for producing and importing child pornography, but his prison stay is about to get longer – much, much longer.

Back in February 2007, Ward pleaded guilty to producing child pornography during several trips to Thailand and Brazil. This month, he is expected to plead guilty once again for lying to State Department officials about the reason he attempted to secure a visa for a Brazilian boy during the summer of 2006.

The Daily Pennsylvanian reports:

Prosecutors say Ward lied to authorities in 2006 when he tried to secure a visa for a 16-year-old Brazilian boy with whom he supposedly was having sex.

Ward allegedly persuaded the boy to engage in sexual activities by giving gifts and money to the boy and the boy's mother, according to the indictment.

In summer 2006, prosecutors say, Ward tried to get a visa so the boy could go to Ward's house in Cape Cod, Mass.

When the State Department denied the visa, Ward allegedly attempted to convince authorities that the boy's family was relatively wealthy and would not try to stay in the United States.

What’s with old men soliciting little boys for sexual favors? Did I stumble into a vortex and travel back in time to Ancient Rome?

Given Ward’s age, he’s probably going to be spending the rest of his life in prison – and the world is a better place for it.
