School officials said an investigation concluded that Collins used research grant money to take pornographic pictures. The university alleges that Collins used $190,000 in grant money and university funds on unauthorized purchases of camera equipment, computer equipment and a printer used to produce pornographic photos.
Notre Dame filed court documents about Collins' alleged abuses of university funding after Collins filed a breach of contract lawsuit against the school following his termination.
Notre Dame is asking that Collins' lawsuit be dismissed.
