BOSTON The former medical director of an exclusive Massachusetts prep school will stay jailed on a child pornography charge, for now.

Physician Richard Keller waived his rights to detention and probable cause hearings during a Friday appearance in federal court in Boston.

Authorities arrested the 56-year-old on Sept. 13, saying they seized hundreds of photos and several dozen DVDs of child pornography from his Andover home.

Law-enforcement officials say Keller had child porn delivered to him on the campus of Phillips Academy before his 2011 resignation.

The Andover boarding school's alumni include former U.S. presidents George W. Bush and his father, along with Humphrey Bogart and John F. Kennedy Jr.

Keller also voluntarily surrendered his state medical license this week, while the Massachusetts medical board does its own investigation.

Children's Hospital in Boston also put the pediatric endocrinologist on leave from his job, as did Harvard Medical School, where Keller is a pediatrics instructor. Keller's attorney Max Stern declined to comment after court.
