DEDHAM – The haggard-looking former Hull High School principal who was set to do a stint this summer as a camp swim instructor was ordered held on $10,000 cash bail this morning after authorities say they found thousands of images of child pornography on his computer. Russell Goyette, 61, a longtime teacher who retired as Hull High principal in 2005, pleaded not guilty this morning to 16 counts of possession of child pornography. Prosecutors say a search of Goyette’s personal computer netted more than 4,500 images of children engaged in sex acts with adults and other children. He was indicted yesterday. Goyette, a grandpa of four who lives in Walpole, appeared in court this morning wearing hiking boots, shorts and a green sweatshirt. His long, wavy gray hair extended past his shoulders.

I got a dumb question for you. What's the point of pleading not guilty if you're going to show up to court looking like you've been living with a pack of wolves for the past two years? Unless that was his defense? Maybe he's going to argue that it is impossible for him to have kiddie porn on his computer when everybody knows that wolves don't have WiFi.
