Stalker Jailed For Planting Child Porn On a PC
An anonymous reader writes "An elaborate scheme to get the husband of a co-worker with whom he was obsessed jailed backfired on Ilkka Karttunen, 48, from Essex in the UK. His plan was to get the husband arrested so that he could have a go at a relationship with the woman. To do this he broke into the couple's home while they were sleeping, used their family computer to download child pornography, and then removed the hard drive and mailed it anonymously to the police, along with a note that identified the owner."
Hasn't this dude ever heard of 4chan? Or dating sims? Or sanity?

He's also out the postage to mail the hard drive.
Great minds think alike; fools seldom differ.

Just leave him a giant package of oxycontin. He'll just off himself.
Most of us are Americans(TM) anyway, and have no idea where this "Essex" or "Finnish" you speak of is located. Likely they're both next to other countries we don't know the location of, like Myanmar, Quebec and Idaho.

Anyone else think it's weird when you see a story on /. front page title "Stalker Jailed For Planting Child Porn On a PC", to have to click a link labelled "View picture"?
I noticed that all the other articles on the front page say Read More..., except this one which links to View Picture...
At first I thought it might be a link to a picture of the wife, who this guy was committing crimes for. Then I thought it might be a link to the pictures the guy was sent to jail for, which having downloaded would land anyone who clicked on them in jail.
I decided to risk it, but I don't see any pictures at all when I click. This must be some kind of psychological experiment.
Back in college we used to prank each other by sending in requests for magazines and advertisements. We sent in subscription cards to bondage and fetish magazines and had them delivered to the victim. Apparently this also gets you on a lot of lists because when the junk mail started arriving, it never abated. To this day there's probably some poor sot getting a weekly ad for "Chihuahas and the Men Who Love Them".
Nowadays these things are delivered via email so can't do that much anymore. Looking back though, it was an acute thrill to see your roommate start to dread the arrival of the mail carrier. I miss those days..
"Dude, your mail's here."
"F* you."
"I'm just saying."
"F* you."
Mod parent up for car analogy.
Child porn is small potatoes. If he really wanted to ruin his rival's life, he should have used the computer to download movies with BitTorrent.
Take off every Sig. For great justice.
If John Smith is known as a kiddie fiddler then no amount of innocents will rub that off of him in a society obsessed by paedophilia and child safety.
Um, if you're a kiddie fiddler, then your problem is the fact that "innocents" are "rubbing off on you".
*ducks*
Information theory is life. The rest is just the KL divergence.
Those are exactly the type of stories I'm talking about. If Bob Smith is arrested for rape, then he is a rapist, even if he is entirely innocent. If John Smith is known as a kiddie fiddler then no amount of innocents will rub that off of him in a society obsessed by paedophilia and child safety.
Heh. That’s not even the full extent of it... I was locked in a psych ward for a week because I was accused of wanting to rape someone (which was utterly false to begin with). Thankfully no legal charges were filed because wanting to rape someone isn’t technically illegal... although the person could have easily gotten a restraining order if she had so chosen (I was inclined to stay away from the psycho after that, so she didn’t bother with it...).
You guys got it all wrong.
You see, the framer was framed. The supposed target faked the break-ins, and planted all the evidence (computer data, credit card and financial data, and photos) in Karttunen's garden shed computer (which was easy enough to do - it's in a garden shed for pete's sake!).
He then mailed the HD to authorities.
It's all so simple, really - poor Karttunen never knew what hit him.
OOooooh, I want the movie rights for this! =P
How can I DUI? I don't have my car keys.
Spelling, grammar, punctuation? We need something that checks logic.
