A longtime University of Oregon history professor pleaded not guilty on Wednesday, Dec. 10, to felony charges related to child pornography.

Andrew Goble, 72, faces 10 counts of first-degree encouraging child sexual abuse.

Each count alleges Goble knowingly duplicated or exchanged “a visual recording of sexually explicit conduct involving a child.” A grand jury indictment lists dates ranging from Sept. 27 to Nov. 1 for each alleged offense.

Lane County Sheriff’s Office detectives arrested Goble Nov. 21, a day after executing a search warrant at a residence on the 1900 block of Dogwood Drive in Eugene, according to a sheriff’s office statement.

Goble made his initial court appearance Nov. 24 via a video-link from the Lane County Jail but has since been released. He must avoid all contact with anyone under 18 years old.

The university placed Goble on administrative leave the day of his arrest. He joined the UO in fall 1990, a spokesperson said. Goble has written frequently about premodern Japan.

Goble’s next court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 29, but no trial date has been set.
