Richard Keller, former Medical Director of Isham Health Center, was sentenced today to six-and-a-half years in federal prison on child pornography charges, along with five-and-a-half years of probation and a $10,000 fine. His probation will entail counseling, along with a requirement to stay away from minors without another adult present, according to “The Boston Globe.”
Keller, 57, was arrested on September 13, 2012 and was charged with the receipt and possession of child pornography, according to a [previous article in _The Phillipian._](http://www.phillipian.net/articles/2012/09/13/dr-richard-keller-former-medical-director-arrested-child-porn-allegations)
After 19 years at Andover, Keller resigned from his post in May 2011. His resignation was unrelated to the charges, which were filed by the U.S. Attorneys’ Office after Keller left the school, said Head of School John Palfrey in an email sent to students and parents immediately following Keller’s arrest.
Federal investigators found over 100 DVDs of child pornography and over 500 explicit photos of young boys in Keller’s Andover home, according to a press release published by the U.S. Attorneys’ Office at the time of Keller’s arrest.
In November 2013, Keller pleaded guilty to a total of three charges in a court hearing: two counts of receiving and one count of possessing child pornography, according to a [previous article in _The Phillipian._](http://www.phillipian.net/articles/2013/11/05/keller-pleads-guilty-child-pornography-charges)
After leaving Andover, Keller worked as a pediatric endocrinologist at Children’s Hospital in Boston and was an Instructor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School.
