Former Newsday Publisher Who Served on Education Board Charged in Child Pornography Case

By Tom Hays Associated Press Writer Published: Jun 28, 2005

NEW YORK (AP) - A former Newsday publisher who once served on a state education board has been charged with possessing child pornography taken off the Internet, authorities said Tuesday. Robert Johnson, 59, pleaded not guilty in Manhattan federal court and was released after posting a $500,000 bond and agreeing to have his home computer monitored by authorities and to continue a counseling program.

Defense attorney Stephen Scaring told reporters outside court that his client was not involved in child pornography. If convicted, Johnson could face a maximum of 50 years in prison, prosecutors said.

Johnson is the former chief executive of Bowne & Co. Inc., an international printing firm headquartered in Manhattan. He was Newsday's publisher and chief executive from 1986 to 1994, when he resigned, said Stu Vincent, a spokesman for the newspaper.

Johnson, who lives in Huntington, also represented Long Island on the state Board of Regents from April 1995 until he resigned last year without giving a reason.

Prosecutors allege that Johnson used his computer at Bowne & Co. to download two films containing child pornography from Web sites being monitored by federal investigators.

In May 2004, after learning that agents had contacted his company, Johnson allegedly sought to destroy incriminating files on his computer. He retired about a week later and shortly afterward stepped down from the state board.

He is charged with receiving and possessing child pornography and willfully destroying a record.

So, he charged with not only have child porno, but destroying child porno as well. This child porn, and sex abuse has been a windfall for Jewish prosecutors prosecuting gentile males.

In modern America, the louder and more public the posturing, the more certain it is only a posture made to salve a guilty conscience.

The kiddie-porn hysteria of our time, like the Satanic day-care scares of the 80s preceding it, tends to distract one's attention away from how scary and dangerous American life is fast becoming for kids. It's always easy to seize upon aberrations and anomalies - Jacko, NAMBLA, black masses held in junior-high gymnasiums - because it allows you an opportunity to project all the blame on some dread Other while giving yourself a clean bill of health. (Notice how no one's [I]ever [/I] on trial for voluntarily dropping their kids off at the Neverland ranch for sleepovers ...even after 20 years' worth of child-molestation clouds dogging Freak Boy.)

We militate against the rights of parents in our legislative life everyday, as we wage war against a child's right to a normal, wholesome childhood every day in our cultural life; and we, of course, tirelessly fight for a mother's right to infanticide, or for two queers' right to adopt kids, or to protect children from the racist horrors of a classical education (if your kids [I]are [/I] being taught Plato and Aristotle at all, doubtful though it is, there's either a mandatory pro-buggery addendum to the lesson plan, or Take Your Daughter To A Lesbian Bar Week is upon us again. Your [I]son[/I]? F*ck'm: crush a few Ritalin into his cornflakes and let him veg out in front of the Playstation)....and then we otherwise drown them and ourselves in sucrose-laden empty platitudes about how [I]the children are the future and our most precious assets of all[/I] purely for appearances' sake....to make it look good for the cameras.

I think that you hit it when you mentioned "a mother's right to infanticide."

It never ceases to amaze me that the same folks who scream about lack of governmental funding for children are the same ones who most vociferously defend the "right" of their mothers to murder them through abortion. I mean we're talking - without anesthesia - the "right" of a woman to have her doctor make an incision at the base of the child's skull, insert a tube, vacuum out its brains, and then crush it's skull to remove it through the birth canal.

It's clear that if adults have the right to do that to a child, then there's no reason not to allow sexual predators to have a field day with them. Or drug them with Ritalin so that they can sit still in the kosher indoctrination camps we call public schools.

Mother Theresa said that "abortion is the greatest destroyer of love and peace." It's absolutely true. Any society that denies its own children the protection of the laws deserves to die.

And the sooner the better.

True, but only a depraved and evil person would be sexually tempted by children and looking at child pornography. Many involved in this evil are rich and high ranking. If they weren't looking at child pornography, then prosecutors, Jewish or not, wouldn't be after them. I cannot defend this guy if he is guilty. But Il Ragno is right, it is usually only white males who get publicized for it, while it is more rampant in other cultures like black and latinos.

Quite bluntly, I don't believe all those allegations of child molestation are true. I believe prosecutors seize upon an opportunity with the knowledge the community will support them. The prosecution makes the prosecutor and the community feel better about themselves. The standard for prosecution is very low. There needs to be nothing more than an allegation by a child whose word wouldn't even be considered in another type of case. As stated in another post, it's a fad type of prosecution just as Satanism was years ago.
