UPDATE: Teacher From Aiken Pleads Guilty To Child Porn And Enticement Charges
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A 48-year-old high school teacher from Aiken has pleaded guilty to distributing child pornography and attempting to entice what he thought was a 13-year-old boy for sex. Timothy Brumit taught English at Batesburg-Leesville High School in neigbhoring Lexington County. Federal prosecutors say Brumit was actually talking to a police officer in Virginia over the Internet in January. Authorities say Brumit sent more than 600 pieces of child pornography to the officer. Prosecutors say Brumit also said he wanted to bring the boy to South Carolina to have sex and asked if he would leave his family to be with him. Brumit faces 10 years to life in prison on the enticement charge and five years to 20 years in prison on the pornography count. NBC Augusta staff contributed to this story.

It sad though that right now a lawyer and a judge are sitting around discussing what "kind of a deal" they can make to let him go. He is a threat to all children, everywhere. Lock him up and do not let him out! No bail, No bond! Inappropriate? Alert Us!Add a commentMost PopularMore Good Stuff |
