Former uWaterloo music prof got caught doing child porn... 18 points, 16 comments
u/Pfaffian: “Christ. I took a class with him a little over a year ago, I think it was MUSIC 250 or 260 (The Symphony). It was great too, his lectures were really interesting. He wasn't ever a prof at UW, just a lecturer.”
