Pieper was not a comp sci professor. He was a professor of eCommerce. I followed some of his lectures during my CS master. The sloot story caused quite some giggles among us students. It was obviously bullshit. But nobody had the guts to ask him about it during these lectures.

I'll take your word for it, but the article explicitly says he was.
The article stretches the definition of "computer science professor" a bit too much.

Pieper has a Wikipedia article [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roel_Pieper]. It describes him as primarily an "IT-Entrepreneur". He seems to be mostly an investor/business type.

And (from the WP article):

> On 1 September 1999 Pieper was appointed as a professor of Electronic Commerce, a newly created chair at the faculty of informatics and technology management of the University of Twente. Pieper ended as a professor of business administration and corporate governance at the university of Twente in 2013.
