Writer's Blog: Castle Cant Author Jailed for Possessing Child Pornography
Castle Cant Cover

CNN reports that children's author K.P. Bath, author of The Secret of Castle Cant, has been sentenced to six years in prison by a federal judge for possessing child pornography. Federal investigators found Bath's computer had a large collection of pornographic photographs and video clips of children in his Portland, Oregon, home.

U.S. Attorney Dwight Holton said in a statement, "It is shocking that a children's author would contribute to the trauma these kids endure -- both physical and emotional trauma from the sexual abuse itself, and psychological trauma from knowing that images of that abuse are circulating on the Internet."

CNN reports that prosecutors said the collection found on Bath's computer included "images depicting sadistic conduct, rape, sodomy and bestiality." The Baltimore Sun reports that Bath's publisher, Little, Brown, abandoned another book from Bath, because of the allegations against him.
