Spotlight on abuse: Episcopal college professor Jeffrey D. Tassin

Jeffrey D. Tassin, a tenured professor of chemistry at the Episcopal University of the South for 16 years, was stopped at a routine drug checkpoint along Interstate Highway 75 near Cleveland, Tennessee on July 12, 1997. Local news stories reported that police asked permission to search Tassin’s car after a drug-sniffing dog located marijuana residue. Approximately 200 sexually-explicit pictures of children were discovered. A later search of his home revealed “thousands more pornographic photos of children.” Tassin resigned on September 8, 1997, pleaded guilty to possession of drug paraphernalia, 3000 counts of possession of child pornography, and one count of suppression of evidence in April 1998.
