MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - A University of South Alabama economics professor has been charged with sending obscene pictures to a minor.
According to an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in Mobile Barry Simpson was accused by an FBI agent of sending obscene pictures to an FBI agent posing as a 13-year-old girl.
The case will be heard in federal court in Miami because the undercover agent is based there.
USA spokesman Keith Ayers said the university has suspended Simpson with pay pending the outcome of the case.
