Stephen F. Austin professor charged with having child porn

NACOGDOCHES, Texas (AP) — Investigators say an economics professor at Stephen F. Austin State University has been charged with having child pornography on a college computer.

Nacogdoches (na-kuh-DOH'-chihs) County jail records show 52-year-old Michael Dean Stroup was being held Wednesday on a charge of possession of child pornography.

Bond was set at $15,000 for Stroup, who's also interim chairman of the Department of Economics and Finance at the school in Nacogdoches.

Stroup was arrested Tuesday on campus. A school statement says the investigation began when images were discovered on a server used by the business college. University officials say there's no evidence that the illegal images involved SFA students.
