A former middle school teacher in Meridian has pleaded guilty to possession of visual representations of child sex abuse.
The U.S. Attorney’s office said Steven Kutzner, 33, had downloaded more than 70 animated cartoon pornographic images on his computer. Many of them depicted child characters from The Simpsons.
Kutzner was a former middle school teacher at Lake Hazel Middle School in Meridian. He resigned immediately after the search warrant was served at his home.
Kutzner will be sentenced Jan. 5, 2011. He faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000. (source)

More on child pornography and pedophilia. More here on so-called “virtual child pornography”, images that appear to depict minors but that were produced by means other than using real children, such as through the use of youthful-looking adults or computer-imaging technology. More absurd human rights violations.
