Man Gets 12-Year Jail Sentence For Planting Child Porn On Enemy's Computer
An anonymous reader writes with an update to a story we discussed in August about Neil Weiner, a man who sought to ruin the life of a school caretaker by planting child pornography on his computer. Weiner has now been convicted on two counts of possession of child pornography and one count of perverting the course of justice. He was sentenced to 12 years in jail.
"The judge told Weiner that his plot to have Mr. Thompson sacked and prosecuted very nearly succeeded. Police had been careful not to make public their arrest of the caretaker and only informed those at the school who needed to know, he said. 'But you gratuitously and spitefully informed the local press so that he and his wife suffered the distress of the unwelcome publicity which followed.' Mr. Thompson's health and that of his wife suffered. The judge said: 'There are still those who believe, and probably always will, that he is a pedophile. I am wholly satisfied that Mr. Thompson is innocent.' ... Weiner had discovered the caretaker's password by looking over his shoulder one day and been caught doing so. When Mr. Thompson was asked why he did not change it, he said he wished he had, adding: 'Who in their worst nightmares would could have thought that anyone could stoop to do what he did?'"
In your sig, shouldn't that be, "Nationalism is bigotry.", not "Patriotism is bigotry."? If I said, "Go USA!" that would generally be perceived as patriotic; supporting a nation, but not denigrating another. If I said, "USA is number 1!", that would be nationalistic as it says that the USA is above or superior to other nations.
Prove it, back up your statement with statistics(government) to prove thats where all those millionaires came from. Please have the decency to provide the same credible sources to back up yours.
Anonymous comments are as pathetic as the anonymous "sources" that contaminate gutless journalism from the New York Time
>>>And yet when you point this out to people when they make MJ jokes, or say they hate him because he was a nonce or whatever, they come out with some variant of "no smoke without fire". Fucking hate that.
