Ex-Publisher Charged in Child Pornography Case
A former Newsday publisher who once served on a state education board has been charged with possessing child pornography taken off the Internet, authorities said.
Robert M. Johnson, 59, pleaded not guilty in Manhattan federal court. He was released after posting a $500,000 bond and agreeing to have his home computer monitored by authorities.
Johnson is the former chief executive of Bowne & Co., an international printing firm based in Manhattan. He was Newsday’s publisher and chief executive from 1986 to 1994, when he resigned, said Stu Vincent, a newspaper spokesman.
