John Duffy Pleads Guilty

Remember John Duffy, the local ESPN Radio broadcaster? He pleaded guilty to child pornography charges in a federal court today.

I said that if he was found guilty, then he is disgusting. He went ahead and admitted his own guilt. Disgusting is not even a harsh enough word.

WPXI says that the prison term will likely be 51-63 months. He was supposed to face up to 10 years in prison. Duffy, you should consider yourself lucky to get off with such a light sentence.

I'm finished talking about your wretched life.

John Duffy Update

The U.S. Attorney's office released a picture of the local ESPN Radio broadcaster charged with kiddie porn.

This is a rare occurance, but it is fitting, seeing as how there are two John Duffys.

This dude looks creepy and happy. If found guilty, he is disgusting.

That's all for now.
