More Charges for South Florida Boss
An Alabama grand jury added a child pornography charge to those already
facing ex-Broward (Fla.) Teachers Union president Anthony
J. Gentile A felony indictment of "transporting" child pornography
across state lines through the Internet was handed down in Oct. in Birmingham,
Gentile's attorney, David Bogenschutz, said. Gentile, who recently
resigned, was charged this summer with e-mailing child pornography from
union computers to someone he thought was a 14-year-old girl, then arranging
to meet her for sex. The "girl" was Detective Richard Love with Law Enforcement
Against Child Harm, a task force of federal, county and local investigators.
In the Ala. case, Gentile was accused of striking up a sexual conversation
in an Internet chat room with a Birmingham FBI agent posing as a child
and e-mailing child porn to the agent. [Sun-Sent. (Ft. Lauderdale) 11/10/01]
