Villaraigosa Appointee Guilty of Stashing Child Porn

There are all sorts of strange excuses for being a child pornography buff, but sometimes the excuse just isn’t good enough and you have to ‘fess up.

Albert Abrams, the former Los Angeles City Commissioner who was appointed by Antonio Villaraigosa, was charged with possessing child pornography one year ago and initially blamed it on having a split personality. Not content with that as enough of a plausible explanation, Abrams elaborated that he had the split personality because of a tumor on his spine.

The FBI had raided his Tarzana home, finding hundreds of images of child pornography on his computer. He was arrested in February and pleaded not guilty.

Now Abrams has signed a plea agreement, pleading guilty to one count of distribution of child pornography. Abrams is scheduled to stand before a federal judge this Friday. He may be sentenced to from five to more than eight years in prison.

As Arnold Schwarzenegger said in Kindergarten Cop, “It’s not a tumor.”
