BEDFORD, Va. (AP) — Virginia authorities say an educator at an evangelical Christian university led by Jerry Falwell Jr. has been charged with taking indecent liberties with a child younger than 15.

News outlets report 63-year-old Liberty University professor Stephen Kilpatrick was arrested Wednesday. He also is charged with using communications systems to facilitate certain offenses involving children.

A task force against child internet crimes says Kilpatrick was arrested after travelling to meet someone who he believed was an underage girl. The school said in an email that Kilpatrick has been suspended from his position as an associate professor of mathematics "pending the outcome of this matter."

Kilpatrick was booked into the Bedford Adult Detention Center. It's unclear if he has a lawyer to comment on the charges.

1. He seems nice . . .

[jberryhill]

10. Well, let's have a look-see...

He is truly a nice guy and he means well but he should not teach. He was consistently unprepared for class and unable to complete the example problems he provided. Additionally, he is the slowest grader I've ever had in 3 years at Liberty. Most of all, he did not demonstrate a real understanding of the material which was extremely frustrating.

24. Gotta say, the ratemyprofessors page on LU is exactly how I thought it would be

Divided between "Great... just so great" and "I think they're trying to brainwash us, guys"

of their math faculty doesn't have terminal degrees. Then again, this is Jebus U. They're not really into all that book learnin'.

At least not for faculty.

That ultra conservative Christianity is so repressive that it creates the problem. We've learned that by now from just watching the news for a few years.
