Millionaire Accused of Possessing Child Porn Sentenced for Stealing Prehistoric Mammoth Tusk

That headline is not the result of a messed up MadLib. As screwed up as it sounds, it’s the story of Robert Franz. Franz is a 65-year-old retired chemist from Plymouth Meeting. Today, he was sentenced in federal court in Philadelphia to 300 hours of community service and ordered to pay a $100,000 fine for stealing a prehistoric mammoth tusk from the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska. In addition to his Dr. Henry Walton Jones-esque criminal troubles, Franz is also charged with possession and receipt of child porn and has pleaded not guilty. You can’t make this stuff up.
