Last year Michael Sondheimer resigned from job at UCLA as Associate Athletic Director after allegations he was having sexual chats with minors online. He was originally caught because of a separate website, called “Operation Riptide”, revealed that Sondheimer was attempting to engage children in sexual chats and was caught in a sting where adults posed as minors just like they did on “To Catch a Predator.”
Now he has been charged with possession of child pornography:
The L.A. County D.A.’s Office says he’s been charged with one felony county of possession — and the porn was on his work-issued laptop.
According to the D.A. the alleged offense occurred in April of last year. If convicted, Sondheimer faces up to 3 years in state prison.
If the allegations turn out to be true, they should put him away for longer than three years.
