Child Porn Arrest For Cameron Aide Who Helped Plan UK Net Filters

Posted by timothy on from the takes-one-to-know-one dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A senior aide to David Cameron resigned from Downing Street last month the day before being arrested on allegations relating to child abuse images. Patrick Rock, who was involved in drawing up the government's policy for the large internet firms on online pornography filters, resigned after No 10 was alerted to the allegations. Rock was arrested at his west London flat the next morning. Officers from the National Crime Agency subsequently examined computers and offices used in Downing Street by Rock, the deputy director of No 10's policy unit, according to the Daily Mail, which disclosed news of his arrest."

    How is the possession or viewing of child porn a crime at all? I dare someone to prove the harm in possessing/viewing cold porn

      99.99999% of all child porn is either drawn, or pictures teens took themselves for their boyfriends or just for the thrill or because it was sexy but not revealing enough to not get posted on FB.

      When people talk about child porn sites, they mean Japanese drawn erotica (Hentai).

      And besides, unless you visit a place dedicated to child porn, paying for it or just viewing their ads, it does not stimulate child porn.

    Seriously, Slashdot. Why should the the rest of the world care what happens on some Downy Street or whatever?
