Ball State Residence Hall Director Facing Child Porn Charges

MUNCIE, IN — A residence hall director at Ball State University is facing several child pornography possession charges following his Monday arrest. WRTV said 24-year-old Baden Robinson was arrested by Ball State University Police Department officers after an IT employee contacted police after noticing strange activity on Robinson's dorm network account. According to the news report, the university said in a recent statement that it goes "the extra mile to monitor illegal or inappropriate activity on Ball State’s network. "

WRTV said Robinson, who's been employed at BSU since July, told investigators he's viewed "thousands" of images and pornographic videos of children between 8 and 18 years old over the last few years, and also told detectives he prefers watching videos of girls between 8 and 13 years old, according to court documents.

Robinson has been suspended by the university, who said they'll go through "proper university procedures" regarding his employment.
