A Weller Hall student pleaded guilty Tuesday to possession of child pornography and will be sentenced Nov. 7.

As part of his plea, Christopher J. Scorzo, a senior history major, plead guilty to three counts of possession of child pornographic pictures in exchange of the dismissal of the other 13 counts he was originally charged with, said Assistant State’s Attorney Duane Deters.

Scorzo, 23, was arrested on April 22, 2001 for showing child pornographic pictures to another person, who reported him to the authorities.

While conducting a search of his room in Weller Hall, police found other pictures of child pornography on his computer. All of the pictures were downloaded from the Internet, Deters said.

Scorzo, of Chicago, now awaits his sentencing set for Nov. 7 at 3 p.m. For his charges, Scorzo is still eligible for probation, Deters said.
