Mother"

I was involved with a kiddie-fiddler case some time ago (early 90s) when one turned up to work beside me at the ISP I was working for at the time. He downloaded pictures but had never actually tried the real thing, so the police stated that he probably wouldn't get a prison sentence precisely for the reasons you've stated above. Once they searched his flat though he got a 3-month sentence so they must have found some nasty stuff or evidence of distribution.

This guy was freaky, totally out of control, he wasn't hard to notice because he looked at them in the office while surrounded by other people! His boss was standing right behind him once talking on the phone and grot-boy was still checking out kiddie stuff in a tiny window on his desktop and copying it onto floppy discs to take home.

When I asked one of the chaps sitting next to him to copy one of his floppy discs so I could take it to the boss, the chap just took the disc and gave it to me, then the perv came back in so I didn't have a chance to put it back. I thought that when he got home and noticed one of his numbered grot-discs was missing he'd know the game was up and go clean for a while. Not a bit of it, next day he was back at it again.

Freaky people!

"University of Crime" is how I've heard it described. The trouble with prison is that it is very expensive and doesn't really work very well long-term. I tend to take an old-fashioned view. If there is a mad dog loose on a village street, you shoot it, simple as that. The dog's "rights" don't come into it. I'm not advocating vigilate justice, far from it, just that I reckon society needs to be a bit more robust in the defence of those who play by the rules, and in deterring and/or punishing those who can't or won't.

Jeez we needed some staff you know! That would kind of rule out 99% of the techies on the job market, I myself had long hair and a bald patch at the time!

String him up by the bollox !!!
