Evil like this is hard to fathom.

This is just so unimaginable - particularly when you read that it happened with the mother's cooperation:

A former California State University, East Bay professor pleaded guilty in federal court in San Francisco Thursday to aggravated sexual abuse of a child after federal investigators discovered he was molesting an infant in Missouri, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Kenneth Martin Kyle, 47, of San Francisco, was an assistant professor of justice studies when undercover FBI agents discovered he was sharing child pornography over a peer-to-peer network, U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag’s office said.

The ensuing investigation revealed Kyle had been visiting an infant in St. Louis over a six-month period and molesting the child with the mother’s cooperation, prosecutors said. Kyle was arrested in March 2010 and indicted by a federal grand jury on April 1 of that year. He pleaded guilty Thursday to traveling across state lines to engage in sex acts with a child younger than 12. After the FBI first made contact with Kyle, the agency contacted San Francisco police, who obtained a search warrant for Kyle’s apartment and found computers with thousands of child pornography images and videos, Haag’s office said.

And:

Kyle will be sentenced Aug. 11 in San Francisco and faces at least 30 years to life in prison, a $250,000 fine, restitution to the victim, and registration as a sex offender.

In the federal system, 30 years pretty much means 30 years.

As for the mother, there is no hole deep enough to drop her into.
