Why You Should Always Empty Your Computer's Trash Bin

by Peter Mychalcewycz on March 19, 2009 at 06:39 PM

Here's a tip: If you are going to rat someone out to the cops, make sure the cops don't end up busting you instead.

The Smoking Gun reports that Michelle Owen, a 24 year-old Indiana woman, suspected that her ex-boyfriend had used her computer to look up child pornography. Embroiled in a custody dispute with the man and concerned by the criminal nature of such searches, Owen requested that police search the laptop for illegal content, which, in hindsight, might have been a mistake.

While searching the computer, detectives found no evidence of child pornography, but instead found video files containing footage of Owen performing illicit acts with a dog. In case you were wondering, the dog is believed to be a beagle named Toby. Owen has been charged with two felony bestiality counts despite her explaining to police in their official report that the incident was "just something she did while she was drunk and barely remembers it."

Sorry honey, next time you might want to empty your computer's recycle bin. May we also suggest that you stop drinking immediately? [From: the smoking gun]
