HERSHEY, Pa. — A man who was the house parent for about a dozen boys on the Milton Hershey School campus was sentenced to more than seven years in prison for possessing nearly 700 images and 40 videos of child pornography.
William Charney Jr. is the second sex offender uncovered at the school in recent years, the Inquirer reports. In 2010, the school settled the claims of five former students who said they had been molested by a serial molester named Charles Koons who gained access to the campus through his mother, a part-time house parent.
None of the pornographic images possessed by Charney involved students at the school, according to Hershey School spokeswoman Connie McNamara.
