COLUMBUS — A federal judge has sealed all the court paperwork relating the child-pornography case against the former director of Ohio State University’s pediatric cancer radiation program.

A criminal complaint against Christopher Pelloski last summer said he acknowledged to an investigator that he used his home desktop computer and a laptop belonging to Ohio State to download the pornography, including videos and photos.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that last month, a few days before Pelloski was to plead guilty, his case was sealed by the federal judge.

The judge and the attorneys in the case have not commented on the reasons for the case being sealed.

The 39-year-old Pelloski had agreed to plead guilty to one count of accessing digital files intending to view child pornography.
