Genius Bar Worker Finds Child Porn on Man's Computer

by Caleb Johnson on August 26, 2009 at 10:26 AM

While repairing a Fairfield, Connecticut man's computer, an Apple Store employee discovered something horrible hidden on the hard drive. No, it wasn't the new Jonas Brothers album. That's only enough to bring shame, but the images discovered on the Power Mac G5 brought an arrest.

According to the Stamford Advocate, 36-year-old Raymond Miller was arrested at the Stamford Town Center Apple Store after an employee working at the Genius Bar allegedly discovered photographs of naked 10- to 13-year-old girls on his computer. Miller brought his computer to the store because he was having problems with images overwriting other images. According to court documents, the employee discovered the explicit photos while searching for the computer problem, and contacted police at the mall. Miller was sent to jail and charged with one count of possession of child pornography, his bond being set at $75,000. Police are searching the computer for other evidence, and The Advocate reports that more charges could follow, pending the investigation.


Let's give credit to the watchful Apple Store employee here. It would've been fairly easy for this person to just ignore the photos and make the repairs. After all, not all computer repair geeks are saints. [From: The Stamford Advocate, via TUAW]
