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."

    Heck, I don't even need to break into his house.

    I'll just fill a drive up with child porn, mail it to the police with a note explaining that it's Rush's---

    Okay, I don't always have the highest regard for cops, but I bet they're smarter than this.

    Yes, thank you for this bit of racism, because people with a foreign sounding name cannot be actual citizens.

    Since they were sound asleep while this was happening who was going to be "peppering his hide with lead"? The gun fairy?

    I am a forensic investigator and it terrifies me that most people I meet in my field don't seem to care who goes to jail as long as somebody goes to jail.

    And that is why I have virtually no respect for anyone in the "justice" system. They don't give a damn about justice, they only care about their own ego.

    I work in climatology and I can pretty much say the same thing. No one cares about the quality of your research as long as it can be used as more evidence for the Official Scientific Consensus(tm).

    There have been controversial rules passed recently requiring anyone who has regular, official contact with children to register, yes - so a football coach teaching minors would indeed be affected.

    I see people on here who try to claim that the UK isn't rapidly running to being a dictatorship, but bullshit laws like this are exactly what I'm talking about. Every time the US walks a yard towards totalitarianism, the UK sprints 100 yards closer to it.

    50 years ago the different countries were racing to see who could be the best - now they're racing to see who can be the worst.
