Alleged, of course. According to The Smoking Gun he sent illicit images of children to a San Francisco dominatrix and, guess what, she told the cops.
Now, if this were a conservative talk show host everyone in the MSM
would be out saying that this guy is a hypocrite and that this is
incontrovertible truth that the right is morally bankrupt. But this guy
is a former priest turned Bush-hater, so my guess is we won’t hear much
about him in the future.
FEBRUARY 15–When radio talk show host Bernie Ward was
arrested last year on child pornography charges, his lawyers downplayed
the federal rap, saying that his client was merely doing research for a
book when he accessed and distributed illicit images. But police
reports indicate that Ward, a 56-year-old former Catholic priest, began
a graphic online correspondence with a San Francisco-area dominatrix
who used the name “Sexfairy” and called cops when Ward sent her a lewd
digital image featuring a topless woman, a nude boy, and a young girl.
According to the Oakdale Police Department reports, copies of which
you’ll find below, the woman, Linda Figueiredo, informed investigators
that she never told Ward of a desire to “see or hear about sexual
activities among minors.” The documents note that in his 2004-05
instant message exchanges with the 33-year-old Figueiredo, Ward, using
the alias “Vincentlio,” made reference “that he might be sexually
abusing minors” or allowing them to “engage in sexual acts in his
presence.” As first reported by San Francisco’s ABC7, armed with the
explicit IM exchanges and the image received by the woman,
investigators obtained a search warrant for Ward’s AOL account, which
yielded other alleged photos of child pornography. Several of those
images, an investigator noted, “depicted children engaged in or
simulating sexual acts with adults or other children.” The minors seen
in the photos were between four and 17 years old, according to a police
estimate. The photographs resulted in Ward’s indictment last year on
three federal felony counts. Currently free on $250,000 bail, Ward was
fired last December from his job at KGO Radio, where he built a
reputation as an outspoken liberal voice and harsh critic of the Bush
administration.
If this guy did what he is accused of then he deserves to burn. BigT
