An Allentown man will spend 10-23 months behind bars for possession of child pornography, after he was caught with the images at his job at Northampton Community College.
Alan West, 63, faces four years’ probation following his release and will have to register as a sexual offender for 15 years, the Northampton County District Attorney’s Office said.
Judge Stephen Baratta handed down the sentence Wednesday.
“West was feverishly clicking to close the open windows,” the DA’s office said in a news release announcing West’s sentence.

Updated May 03, 2021;
Such a charge remains rare in Northampton County.
On Friday, Jerry Suarez Gutierrez, 38, of the 300 block of North Eighth Street in Allentown, was charged with selling the fentanyl to Ferrante that would kill Racciato, the Northampton County District Attorney’s Office reports.
Taking the charge to the second level in a Northampton County drug death investigation may be unique to this case, District Attorney Terry Houck said Monday.
Typically when a drug user suffers a fatal overdose, the only witness to the transaction has died, Houck explained about the rarity of such charges.

Man accused of killing Pa. woman had been in jail, ordered to anger management after 2016 assault
Updated Apr 30, 2021;
The 42-year-old Easton man who the Northampton County district attorney says shot and killed a 34-year-old woman late Tuesday night in a South Side apartment had been required to take anger management training after a 2017 guilty plea in a 2016 assault case, records show.
David Javon Hall, then living in Bath, was involved in a domestic violence incident on Oct. 1, 2016, with a different victim that involved fighting and damage to property, records and an assistant district attorney said.
Colonial Regional police were first called late in the night of Sept. 30, 2016, for an argument between Hall and his then girlfriend, but she told the officer it was only a verbal situation, not physical, court papers say. The two went out for a drink and to eat, and the argument resumed when they returned home to the 200 block of East Main Street, police said.
