Just that it was 4 pictures that he says were in a file he downloaded from the internet. I believe he said it was a music file. I don't know whether he is guilty or innocent of the original charges. If he downloaded them intentionally or it really was an accident/hidden in the file. That was partly why he stuck around. It sounds believable that someone could accidently download it like a hidden virus. It was 4 photos. Anyone who is a pedophile is going to have more than 4 photos, aren't they? The reason he took the plea deal is because he said he didn't have the money to fight the charges. He did lose his job, and the plea deal was his guarantee of freedom. He had to take mandatory classes, register as a sex offender for 20yrs. and stay out of trouble. He was never accused of being in the pressance of a minor.
How many stories have you heard, I have heard 3 different ones about the initial problems? You will not be on the Child Pornography watch list, or be watched/investigated for unintentionally downloading 4 photos that were in one file on a P2P site. He had a virtual cornucopia of stuff, I don't know how much nor do I care. He wasn't going to have these problems if it truly WAS an accident.
Have you also heard the one where, he "left" the window down in his car and his old 'roommate' threw a CD full of stuff into the front seat, and then later that day they came and got him to search his car after an anonymous tip, really? I don't quite remember the 3rd, so I won't repeat it. At face value any of them could happen to anybody, but all 3, really?
The whole thing is disgusting..
