(1/31/08 - Initial BBT Report)
Geoffrey S. Hulburt, 32, a former English teacher at Waverly Middle School in Waverly, New York has pleaded guilty in federal court to charges of possessing child pornography.
Hulbert admitted that he possessed more than 600 images of child pornography on his home computer, according to the Assistant U.S. Attorney handling the case.
Hulburt came to the attention of federal authorities as the result of a state investigation into allegations that Hulburt had attempted to arrange a meeting with a 16-year-old student for sexual purposes. Hulburt pleaded guilty to a charge of endangering the welfare of a child in that case.
During the course of that investigation authorities discovered pornographic images and videos of juveniles appearing to be under the age of 18 on Hulburt’s computer.
Federal authorities say that Hulburt received the child pornography over the Internet and that some of the images “depicted prepubescent minors or minors under 12 years old some portrayed in sadistic or masochistic conduct.
Hulburt faces up to 10 years in federal prison at sentencing on May 16th.
