Malware Can Download Child Porn To Your Computer
2muchcoffeeman writes "The Associated Press tells the story of Michael Fiola, a former Massachusetts government employee who was arrested in 2007 after child porn was found on his state-issued laptop computer. He was eventually cleared of all charges after some digging by the defense found that the laptop was infected with malware that was 'programmed to visit as many as 40 child porn sites per minute — an inhuman feat. While Fiola and his wife were out to dinner one night, someone logged on to the computer and porn flowed in for an hour and a half. Prosecutors performed another test and confirmed the defense findings. The charge was dropped — 11 months after it was filed.' The article also discusses the technical aspects of how it could happen and about similar cases in the United Kingdom in 2003."
I hope I'm reading the parent wrong or missing something as I often do. People who molest children, or partake in child porn, are the scum of the earth. I can't believe what I'm reading here. There are intelligent people who believe it shouldn't be a crime, or a big deal, to possess child porn, or molest children and record it?
I know it's not popular to have morals or take a stand these days, but here it goes. People who get off on naked children are beneath the scum of the earth. There should be little leniency for these "people." The "humans" who use children for their own sexual pleasure are not normal and should be removed from the population post haste.
And anyone who disagrees is naive, inexperienced in life, or abnormal themselves and should seek professional help.
So, how much do you want to bet, that if the prosecution had found it, that they would have 'accidentally' forgot to tell the defense? Knee jerk reaction for a conviction is modus operandi for the police, regardless of if the person is guilty or not.
I love how the game law enforcement plays requires people to defend their innocence rather then the prosecution proving guilt.

Buying pornography isn't "just thinking about it". Fantasising is just thinking about it.
