MARIETTA, Ohio - A former college staffer charged with spreading child pornography on the Internet told a jury that a former student turned lover stored pornographic images on the school's computers.

        Eugene Robert Anderson, 52, of Parkersburg, W.Va., said Tuesday that he began an affair with Robert Lynn Sandford after Mr. Sandford left his job installing computer networks at Marietta College.

        Mr. Sandford then used Mr. Anderson's computers to store more than 40,000 pornographic images, Mr. Anderson said in Washington County Common Pleas Court.

        Mr. Anderson resigned as information technology director at Marietta College in January while he was under investigation.

        Mr. Sandford, 33, of Vincent, who also was indicted in the case, died in March from fertilizer exposure, according to a toxicology report.

        He was an amateur biologist and had worked as a computer network engineer at Ohio University.

        Most of the 133 counts against Mr. Anderson involve Internet chats prosecutors say he had with young boys. In many of those chats, Mr. Anderson allegedly asked that nude photos be sent to him.

        Mr. Anderson has pleaded innocent to charges including pandering obscenity involving a minor, promoting prostitution, unauthorized use of property, wiretapping and tampering with evidence.
