I have read about this before. Something needs to be done, to protect innocent people! Thomas Jefferson said " It is better to let ten guilty men free, than to convict one innocent person"  Our justice system is based upon this principle. It is not OK to send innocent people to jail, in hopes that we catch some filth along the way! This has gone on long enough! I was a child victim and even I know that this is monstrous way of dealing with predators! It seems, there is no way to protect innocent people once 'child porn" has reared it ugly head. This young man's life has been ruined, it will bankrupt him, prison will forever scar him, his future job prospects are gone, he will not be allowed to ever be around children, he will not be able to live were he wants, and his name will forever be linked to "predator websites" possibly leaving him open to vigilante assaults. The ways in which his life is destroyed is immeasurable. This is NOT the way to battle the REAL predators, destroying Innocent lives. This is counter-productive! I mean, why don't we just lock up every man between a certain age then? This is almost as bad. It is like, you have NO defense if you are caught with this filth. I Have no pity for the real predators, but this man, you are in my prayers. I am so sorry for you!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Terri]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2009 5:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[And then they whine about timothy mcveighs when they create them i could see if they pulled up 20 30 instances they are more then out of control they are truely criminal this is where someone over the fbi should step in even if it takes the president himself to pardon this kid . pathetic abuse of power and stalking of innocent people,if only they could prove he downloaded by showing the accual search history i could see it but this is by far not proof nor evidence in itself if it has normal words or normal porn words in it even ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[sdarr87]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2009 10:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[The political powers that be, mostly on a state and local level, are looking for convictions in child pornography cases.  It helps during election season to say you have X number of convictions for child pornography.  Trouble is, they are going after the low hanging fruit. ..... guys like this one who stumble into it accidentally and who would never dream of harming a child.  They convince them to plead guilty in exchange for a reduced sentence.  A good friend of our family, a nice, normal guy who thought he was downloading something innocuous is now serving 51 months, reduced from 10 years for a guilty plea.  These young guys are so scared that the prosecutor has to do practically nothing to get his long string of convictions.  Our friends life is ruined for one stupid mistake.  He would have gotten less time for beating a child.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MaggieMo]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 8th 2009 1:53AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[TERRI, you sound like a very kind soul. im sorry about the abuse you have suffered. im a 47 yo man. i was a single dad of two daughters from the time i divorced when i was 35. i was constantly worried about the men their mom might bring around them on her weekends. as i began dating, i was SHOCKED!!!!!! ive dated 7, SEVEN, women that were sexually abused as young girls. 3 were their own dads. its sickening. BUT to accuse someone thats innocent? thats like condemning them to hell for something they didnt do. our judges need to sentence PROVEN child molesters to LIFE!!! someone came up with the idea that we should keep child molesters in prison AFTER their sentence is up. UH NO! that violates the constitution. DO NOT violate the constitution, just sentence them to life without parole. NO APPEAL for that. so many BITCH about the ACLU. thats an organization to PROTECT YOUR CIVIL LIBERTIES. like the right to keep and bear arms. or free speech and press. yes i get pissed when they defend those attacking kids. MAKE THE LAWS TO PROTECT THE KIDS ABSOLUTE!!!!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 8th 2009 1:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[Liberty and justice for NONE. This is the new Nazi America, where you are guilty even AFTER being proven innocent. Now repeat that old line about how America is "still" the best nation in the world - which is certainly true if you are measuring by the number of prisoners. The United States has more prisoners than any other nation in the world - more than BOTH China and Russia COMBINED, yet with less than 1/6th of their total population. Of course every single one of those people in jail in America is guilty, and most of them should have been executed (at least if you go by what people write on message boards these days). So enjoy your police state. The rest of the world laughs at you, as you sink into the hell of totalitarianism.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Millerson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 8th 2009 5:22AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[Think about this, if it was really "child pornography relabeled as girls gone wild" how the hell would the fbi have tracked it? If he immediately deleted it, especially. Do you think the fbi has some special software to tell instantly that someone downloaded porn, and check what the porn was? Or is it that every child porn on the internet has a special tracker built in?<br><br>No, this is a face saving lie. With having experience, you should definitely know that the first thing someone busted for pedophilia would do is LIE ABOUT IT.<br><br>Don't believe everything that you read.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Munkie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 8th 2009 10:12AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[this is ridiculous... to put away a young man who accidently downloaded child porn... even if he had done it on purpose there is no reason why he should serve 20 years... there are rapists walking the streets that have only served a fraction of that for the crimes that they have committed... if only they were put away for 20 years...this story is sickening]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[SmellyMeli]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2009 8:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is ludicrous!

For all we know, and it's not clear in this article, this guy could have been accessing the child porn all the way up till the FBI knocked on his door! He might have THEN deleted it, only to have it recovered by the Feds. I don't know about anyone else here, but I upgrade my computers (home and work) fairly often, to keep up with software upgrades. If you were to try to access anthing on any of my computers that I had deleted 2 years ago, as this guy claims, you wouldn't find anything. The hard-drives, processors and probably the video cards too have been replaced.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[calico1000]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 8th 2009 9:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[THE FBI IS RIDICULOUS!<br>ARREST THE REAL CHILD MOLESTERS FOR GODS SAKE.<br>THEY GO FREE AND A A MAN LIKE THIS HAS TO SERVE YEARS IN A CRAPPY PRISON FOR A MISTAKE!<br>THE LAWS NEED TO BE CHANGED AND THE TRAINING NEEDS TO BE CHANGED AND IMPROVED AT THE FBI ACADEMY FOR SURE.<br>TOO MANY MORONS GETTTING HIRED!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CAYLEE]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2009 8:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[Our country is being run by the Gestapo for the past 4 years, Americans are losing "freedoms" right n left and most citizens just bleat or turn a blind eye....tsk tsk tsk ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[oneadagals]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2009 8:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[In the state that the economy is in, and this is how my tax dollars are being spent.  All I have to say is my next vote will not be for Obama as it was this last time.  Makes a lot of sense to lock up someone that the FBI knows should not be there while many more dangerous people are free.   I must asked the FBI this, while you are taking the time to go over what people are downloading, WHERE IN THE HELL IS OSAMA BIN LADEN, and have all of the FBI top 10 most wanted been arrested?  We all know the answer to those questions.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[jay]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2009 8:25PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[He should get rid of that public defender and get a lawyer.

The posses the same; the sheriffs change. Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, here you are. Perfect example of self-righteous horseshit claiming their "mandate."  I bet some shithead at the Bureau is popping his buttons on this one! "Yeah, Bubba, you did real good...."  <br><br>Basically, Matthew White's facing time for having deleted a file. Time to get rid of the Public Defender and get some bigger boys involved. There is no justification for this kind of crap.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Borisbadenovisback]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2009 8:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is HORRIBLE!!!

I personally know someone who is now serving time in a federal prison for statutory rape, the problem with this is that he had no idea about the girls age. This is not a bar situation. He met a girl at a party on the college campus where he attended medical school and started dating a girl who told him she was 19 even showing him on several occasions her drivers license. He met her mother and over dinner also brought up that she was 19 years old. The divorced father became upset one day with the daughter and mother called the police and notified them. It turns out the girl was only 16 and even though the court realized and acknowledged that he was lied to, he was still found guilty and is now serving time in prison for a felony and will be forced to register as a sex offender when he gets out.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[matt]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2009 8:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[Your right, "stuff" like this does happen all the time and our prisons are loaded with people rotting behind bars , when in fact, only 30% of the entire prison population is violent/ a menace to our society and to themselves..... let the others out and put into a work force instead of their normal entertainment of prison X-box and TV 24 hours a day ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[oneadagals]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2009 8:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/12/07/accidental-child-porn-download-leads-to-jail-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why don't they go after the real criminals, like known dirty agents, and dirty drug dealing states attorney's and Circuit court judges.
