After each officer had been subjected to it, theyasked Maris if they wanted to try it. He declined until the reporter he was working with said she would do it. Not want-ing to be subjected to grief back at the office Maris obliged. Maris said, “It was the longest few seconds of my life.”

ATHENS, OH - According to a consent decreefiled in Fairfield County Common Pleas Court, for-mer Ohio University School of VisualCommunication professor Larry Nighswander hasagreed to pay OU student Rebecca Humes a newsum of $10,000 to resolve her latest legal claimagainst him.

The new consent decree says that Nighswanderis forbidden to make any public comment about theconsent degree, Humes, or members of her family.

If Nighswander violates theterms of this latest settlement, herisks having to pay Humes anadditional $500,000, the consentdecree says.

The Athens News reports thisrecent settlement stems from thediscovery of photos of Humesfound on Nighswander’s comput-er equipment long after a $3 mil-lion federal sexual harassment suitby Humes against Nighswanderwas settled in 2005. In that settlement, OU andNighswander had paid Humes a $350,000 settle-ment, which included a legal commitment byNighswander to discard or destroy any photographshe had taken of his former student Humes. Theagreement also gave Humes free tuition to graduateschool at OU, and Nighswander left the universityafterwards.

Humes sued Nighswander again in June 2006in Fairfield County claiming a breach of that settle-ment agreement, along with fraudulent misrepre-sentation, after she and her lawyers learned fromOU officials that the photos of Humes still existedon Nighswander’s computer equipment, which hadbeen discovered when police were searchingNighswander’s computers while investigating anunrelated case.

In the original settlement, Nighswander agreedthat any images he had of Humes would be “perma-nently and irretrievable deleted and/or destroyed.”Nighswander testified in federal deposition in thecase that he no longer had any images of Humes inhis possession, the Athens News reported.

The initial federal sexual harassment lawsuit

stemmed from an incident in which Nighswanderphotographed the semi-nude Humes while she wasan undergraduate student at OU. Humes claimedthat during the photo session Nighswander touchedher without her permission, and made inappropriatenoises and comments. Nighswander denied anywrongdoing or sexual harassment but admitted tothe photo session. After Humes sued Nighswander,at least two other female OU students came forwardwith similar allegations against Nighswander, theAthens News’ Jim Phillips reports.

In July 2005, Fairfield County sheriff’sdeputies searched Nighswander’s photographybusiness near Pickerington, OH, while investigatinga fraudulent e-mail that had been sent to an OUsearch committee. The e-mail was believed to havebeen sent from a computer at Nighswander’s busi-ness, but no charges were filed following the inves-tigation. However, in the course of examining thedigital data on Nighswander’s computers, sheriffsdiscovered the photos of Humes, whichNighswander claimed he had already destroyed, andthey informed OU officials of the images. OUinformed Humes and her lawyers, and in October2006 the new suit was filed.

The settlement in this most recent case alsosays the Fairfield County sheriff’s department willdestroy any items that contain images of Humes.The other computer equipment cannot be returnedto him, the consent decree says, until afterNighswander pays for a forensic computer expert,one approved by Humes, to certify that the equip-ment and discs do not contain any images of her, orcontain anything from which the images of hercould be restored.

The consent decree says that Fairfield Countyjudge Chris Martin will keep jurisdiction over thecase to make sure Nighswander complies, and sothat he can start contempt proceedings ifNighswander doesn’t comply. The decree says thatif Nighswander violates the agreement he will haveto pay Humes $500,000 in damages plus any legalcosts that Humes incurs obtaining court orders tohalt any violation of the decree.

Employees at WYTV,can retain their jobs if theyagree to give up their senior-ity and agree to be placed ona 90-day probationary peri-od.

Employees at WKBNwere given the same optionwhen New Vision boughtthat station earlier this year.

New Vision also has anoption to buy WYTV afterone year with a negotiatedescalator clause to keep theoption available for fiveyears.

The FCC has approvedthe sale of WYTV to ParkinBroadcasting from ChelseyBroadcasting as well as theshared services agreement.

TOLEDO, OH - A Toledo jury found photojournal-ist Jeffrey Sauger guilty of criminal trespass and photo-journalist Jim West not guilty of failure to disperse at theconclusion of a three day trial in September.

The two photographers were on trial following theirarrests in Toledo in December 2005 where they werecovering a Nazi rally in the city. Police arrested andcharged Sauger with criminal trespass and West with fail-ure to disperse. The two contended at the time of theirarrest they were standing in a designated "media" area ona public street.

A third photographer arrested that day, JefferyWillis of the Toledo Journal, had disorderly conductcharges against him dismissed last year.

Sauger, writing about the verdict on a messageboard on SportsShooter.com, said that sentencing is setfor next week before the trial judge, Lynn H. Schaefer.He says he's been told that he may be facing only payingcourt costs for the trial, but that's still uncertain at thispoint.

Police said Sauger lacked a temporary media cre-dential for the event that had been issued to some newsphotographers earlier in the day. At the time of the arrestSauger was standing in a media area, wearing his regularpress credentials, and carrying and using professional

photography equipment.After Sauger and West were headed for trial there

was an offer to drop the charges if the two photographerswould sign a waiver releasing the City of Toledo fromany responsibility. Sauger says that offer was quicklywithdrawn when there was a change of prosecutors onthe case.

"I'm sort of shell shocked that I was found guilty,"Sauger wrote on the Internet message board. "In thescheme of things, this isn't like being tortured, beaten,injured, or killed; I'm thankful for that. I'm pissed offthough. Civil rights in this country are going down thetoilet and nobody seems to care."

Sauger says he's probably lost more than $6,000 infreelance jobs and wages based on the amount of timehe's had to spend fighting the charges and the number oftrips he's had to make from his base in Royal Oak, MI, toToledo. Sauger says he thanks Gary Kemper, TannenMaury, and his agency - European Pressphoto Agency -for supporting him during the two years that have passedsince his arrest.

"This is the type of crap our legal system puts peo-ple through and people have asked about my experience.It's no wonder people just sign waivers," Sauger wrote.
