Former DJ Kennedy gets 51 months in jail for child porn

PITTSBURGH

William “Scott” Kennedy, the former longtime Y-103 morning disc jockey, has been sentenced to 51 months in federal prison and a lifetime of supervised release, and fined $25,000, after he pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography.

Senior U.S. District Judge Alan N. Bloch imposed the sentence Thursday on Kennedy, 55, of Hermitage, Pa.

“Every time a sexually explicit image of a minor is produced, transmitted or viewed by these predators, a child is victimized,” said John P. Kelleghan, special agent in charge in the Philadelphia office of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations, which investigated the case.

“Those who believe they can hide behind their stature in the community are mistaken. They will be held accountable for their actions,” Kelleghan said.
