From ABC News:

A former Boy Scouts of America official has been charged with possession and distribution of child pornography. [...]

Smith, 61, was also chairman of the Scout's Youth Protection League — alerting scout leaders to the dangers of predators on the Internet, ABC News has learned.

"There's no typology for the child pornographer," said John Clark, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. "And that's part of the problem we have in law enforcement. They run the gamut of persons, doctors, lawyers, teachers, priests, clergymen of all sorts."

"You're going to find people who are accessing pornography from every segment of our society, which means we need to do a better job of protecting our kids and make no assumptions about where our kids might be safe," said Shay Bilchik, president and CEO of the Child Welfare League of America.

Smith is expected to appear in federal court Wednesday. Prosecutors say they expect him to plead guilty.

If he is convicted, will he get more than a slap on the wrist? Does society care at all?
