Dean Boland, the new lawyer for Facebook claimant Paul Ceglia, was ordered to pay $300,000 in an unrelated lawsuit over his use of explicit “morphed” images that he created to help in his defense of people charged with possessing child pornography.

Boland, a Lakewood, Ohio, lawyer who specializes in technology cases, was ordered by a federal judge to pay the money to two unidentified minors whose stock photos Boland used to create the images of children engaged in sexual conduct. Boland used the images to aid his testimony as an expert witness in courts in Ohio and Oklahoma.
