f Penn prof Men's hoops prepare for season found not guilty NORRISTOWN, Pa. — A University of Pennsylvania mar­ keting professor was acquitted Thursday of charges that he paid a teen-ager to have sex with him over a three-year period. A Montgomery County jury said they could not believe the 19-year-old accuser’s story after viewing a videotape of the youth telling Lawrence S. Ward that he would tell police the truth for $12,000. Jurors deliberated several hours Thursday night before finding Ward not guilty of invol­ untary deviate sexual inter­ course, statutory rape, indecent assault and corruption of a minor. He could have faced a maximum sentence of 20 to 40 years in prison if convicted. “I’ve had to live with this for two years, and I’m really very bitter toward the individual who I tried to help and was exploiting me and trying to extort money fi-om nie,” said Ward, 53, a mar­ keting professor at Penn’s Wharton .School of Business. The accuser, identified only as testified that Ward rou­ tinely paid him to have oral sex in his suburban mansion between 1990 and 1992. On Tuesday, the defense pre­ sented a videotape of the accuser asking for money to change his story. On a grainy, oval frame', jurors saw Ward ask the teen­ ager, “So, basically you are ask­ ing me to pay you $12,000 to tell the truth.” “Yah," the boy replied. The videotape was recorded by private investigators for the defense. Ward still has to face trial on charges he propositioned a state police tirooper who posed as a 15-year-old during a.stingx>pera- tion. But he predicts that charge will be dropped as well.
