""I believe it's only 50 counts," the prosecutor said in court. "However, it's alleged there were hundreds of thousands of images that were found on his devices.""
""on one of his devices, there were photos of female students from certain angles.""
""My client is 70 years old. He has no prior record of any kind. He's married, he's a citizen, a professional, affidavit says cooperative with law enforcement, so we'd ask the state to take those into consideration," his attorney told the court."
