UC Irvine placed police dispatcher Scott Cornelius on paid administrative leave Wednesday while the university investigates his involvement in taking photographs of unsuspecting high school boys water polo players that appeared on gay pornographic Web sites.

The Orange County Register also has learned that an online photography company given photo credit for non-action images of water polo players on gay porn Web sites is registered to Cornelius.

A Web site for Scottstanfordphotography.com is registered to Cornelius. The domain created on Aug. 27, 2006 lists Cornelius as the site's "registrant" as well as his Tustin home address including his apartment number. The registrant's e-mail is listed as webmaster@shirtlessmuscle.com.

At least one Web site, boycollector.net, featured a Stanford photograph of an Orange County high school freshman. Some of the Stanford photographs have been placed next to nude young males or young males engaged in sexual acts. Boycollector.net removed the photos after the publication of a Register investigation over the weekend.

A photograph credited to Stanford of an unsuspecting Southern California water polo player adjusting his trunks has received thousands of hits on one Web site alone. The photo remains on several sites.

Www.shirtlessmuscle.com this month posted new photographs of Orange County high school water polo players and swimmers. Under the site's "friends" section are photographs of Allen Rockwell, 44, a Morongo Valley photographer. Rockwell has acknowledged in e-mails obtained by the Register that he has taken non-action photos of high school water polo players but denied doing anything wrong.

Shirtlessmuscle.com now defaults to AllenSnaps.com, an online photography company linked to Rockwell. "AllenSnaps" also has been credited for photos of high school water polo players and other aquatic athletes on more than a dozen gay Web sites with sexual content.

The CIF-Southern Section on Wednesday warned its 560-plus member schools to be on the lookout for suspicious photographers at athletic competitions.

In a section-wide memo, the CIF asked schools to "Please be vigilant to any out of the ordinary behavior by photographers on your pool decks, fields, courts and/or diamonds. Question those taking pictures without credentials (the photographers in question are not CIF-SS credentialed photographers). Be on the lookout for anyone taking pictures of only pool-deck activity and little to none of the action in the pool."

Parents have confirmed that some photographs discovered on gay porn sites were reposted from flickr.com sites intended only for the use by players' families and friends. It is not known who reposted the flickr.com photographs.

A non-action photograph of one prominent Orange County high school water polo player that has been the subject of numerous lewd comments on several gay porn sites was originally posted on a page with dozens of photographs taken by a parent for other parents and friends to purchase.

When Edison High School boys water polo coach Diggy Riley was shown an online photo of a player on a pool deck wearing just a Speedo swim suit, he recognized the athlete immediately.
The player was an Edison freshman.
The photo was from a gay porn site that also contains photos of nude young men and young males engaged in sex acts.
The Web site is one of five gay-oriented Web sites found by The Orange County Register that contained dozens of non-action photographs of apparently unsuspecting high school boys water polo players from least 11 Orange County high schools as well as schools in Los Angeles and San Diego counties.
On these sites, images of local high school athletes, some as young as 14, according to parents, are juxtaposed next to photos of nude or semi-nude young males and graphic sexual content. The photos are the subject of lewd comments from chat room participants as far away as Australia.
The Register found non-action photos of players from 11 Orange County high schools and three other Southern California schools on several pages of boycollector.net, a gay porn site registered to a London address. Some of the water polo photos were placed on pages next to photos of young males clad only in thongs and other young males simulating masturbation.
"It's disgusting. ... No high school athlete should worry about their picture being taken during the game," said one Orange County coach, who confirmed water polo photos on a Web site included members of his team.
Other non-action photos of Orange County high school athletes not credited to Stanford remain on the site. Stanford photo credits are also posted on high school water polo photos on other gay-oriented sites. One Web site posts a photo credited to Stanford of a high school player adjusting his trunks.
"Sports photographer Scott Stanford shot and shared this series of pictures in 2004 through internet and within a couple of years the boy has become famous and showed up all over the internet," a caption next to the photo said.
