| Former LISD employee faces child pornography possession charges (This hair-splitting use of "former" is an apparent attempt to cover for the school district. The guy was still an employee at the time of the bust.) BY D. LANCE LUNSFORD AVALANCHE-JOURNAL A former Lubbock Independent School District employee, who allegedly left town after being questioned by police on Jan. 7, is facing possession of child pornography charges. Leaving town is not a good sign. Glen R. Nash, 39, is accused of possessing images of children, allegedly storing them on a number of computer devices. He was arrested March 2 and indicted on 10 counts of possession or promotion of child pornography Tuesday by a grand jury. Nash's wife notified police and gave a statement revealing Nash allegedly used a laptop computer to download child pornography image files. "I noticed that these included names alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.teen ... and other names that appeared to contain child pornography," she allegedly told Lubbock police Detective Larry Manale, according to court documents. On one computer, Manale reported finding 24 images that contained child pornography. The content or nature of the images are not described in the report. In the top right corner of several of the images were the words, "Crazy Angels," Manale reported. "The word 'angel' is often used to describe child pornography," said Manale in a report on his investigation. On another computer, Manale reported finding three images of child pornography. The content and nature of those images is also not revealed. Several of the devices confiscated from Nash did not reveal "anything of evidentiary value." Nash has since hired defense attorney Chuck Lanehart, according to documents filed with Precinct 3 Justice of the Peace Aurora Chaides-Hernandez. Lanehart said he has yet to review the evidence in the case but suggested a close review of the legal statute defining child pornographic material. For purposes of demonizing gun owners, the military, and death penalty proponents, the LLL apparently define a "child" as anyone under 25 years of age. For purposes of a porn investigation, they would set it at 5 or abolish the term altogether. Manale's investigation did include several hundred photos of children in "scantly clad" clothing and posing in "provocative positions." On one information storage device, Manale reported nine images of a blond female appearing to be 10 years old. "One of these photos was a close-up picture of her buttocks while she was laying on the floor facing away," Manale reported. "This girl was later described to me as (one) of Mr. Nash's daughter's friends." (emphasis added) Ya' know, I have two daughters. If this report is accurate, I might also mention that I have a rope and a stout tree that could save the state a lot of money on room and board. Just saying. In addition, Manale allegedly found four photos of children in "compromising positions or inadvertently displaying their underwear." According to Manale's report, Cpl. Bill Bates obtained a copy of Nash's discharge papers from the U.S. Air Force where Nash received an "other than honorable" discharge. In the report, Manale claims the discharge papers show the discharge was the result of his alleged molestation of his stepdaughter while stationed in Germany. Nash began working at LISD on Aug. 31, 1998, as an information technologies technician. Nash resigned his duties on Jan. 18, according to LISD spokeswoman Nancy Sharp. The school district had Nash's SSN, so they could easily have gotten a copy of his service record. They obviously either did not or they neglected to read it. "Basically, he was a computer repair guy. So, he went to wherever there was a computer problem and that was it," said Sharp. She said Nash did not have direct contact or work in an instructional capacity with students though he was frequently on campuses doing work. "He was on his own around the kids all day but, hey, he's not a teacher so it's not a problem." Nash's wife reportedly told Manale her husband returned home the afternoon of Jan. 7 after Manale questioned him at his LISD office. She allegedly told Manale he then prepared to leave for Dallas. Hmmm. Gazing into my crystal ball, I foresee a divorce proceeding. |

| #1 This reminds me of a story (urban legend?) I heard a while back. There was a homely, rather-fat, and not very attractive girl in school and the one day the teacher made here the brunt of his jokes which pretty much reduced her to tears. She got back at him though. She got ahold of a porn magazine and signed him up for the most disgusting porn magazines she could find (gay porn, boy porn, you name it). ... and had them delivered to him at the school. He did not lose his job but he had a lot of explaining to do. |
