While searching the professor\u2019s office, detectives also found an external hard drive, and investigators located 100 files they believed to be videos of child pornography.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Some of the videos featured children who have been seen by agents in previous investigations, reports WAFB. Among the videos included footage of animals&nbsp;being engaged in sexual intercourse with humans.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators also found a small jar of suspected marijuana in the professor\u2019s vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>An LSU spokesperson confirmed with WAFB that the university hired Myers in 1994.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter working with law enforcement, LSU was notified of the arrest of a faculty member in its AgCenter,\u201d LSU said in a statement. \u201cThe faculty member has been placed on administrative leave and is not to return to campus until there is a final determination of the case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven the serious nature of the accusations, the AgCenter will be working with faculty and staff to ensure any necessary support opportunities are available,\u201d the university added.<\/p>\n<p><em>You can follow Alana&nbsp;Mastrangelo on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ARmastrangelo\">Facebook<\/a> and Twitter at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ARmastrangelo\">@ARmastrangelo<\/a>, and on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alanamastrangelo\/\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Louisiana State University (LSU) professor\u00a0Gerald Myers has been placed on\u00a0administrative leave after being arrested\u00a0in connection with multiple charges, which include child pornography, sexual abuse of an animal, and possession of &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1129299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1129299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1129299"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1129299\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1129299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1129299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1129299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
