It's possible to trace the date an image has been first downloaded or uploaded on a PC, so it's not possible to unload the blame on the technician that discovered the material, and while Waddy could have said that someone else at another time could have uploaded the images on his computer without him knowing, the excuse wouldn't stand since then it would pose the question of why he didn't delete after finding them out (unless that is what truly has happened).

IIRC, the issue at the time was that printed images were also found. I'm sure there are other articles from the time.

Here's one link:

5) receiving sexual messages or videos by someone who is under the age of 18

I wouldn't feel comfortable associating with anyone that fell into any of these categories. They might be borderlines but thy surely reflect an individual's mindset.
Not saying any of these were the case in point.

I understand but it's a stretch suggesting a link between sexual fantasies about having sex with late adolescents and pedophilia or child abuse.
You might be surprised then that I feel entirely uncomfortable with only two of those instances and the others are all things I entered in contact with somehow at some point in my life, even if in tame examples.
The point is that these are all cases that seem macabre written on paper, and many times when translated in real life examples they indeed are, but there are also many times in which the facts must be interpreted.
I remember the case of one of my favourite comics author that risked banning due to the aforementioned laws because some scenes in their work depicted minors having a bath.

Here is what I gather. They raided his home for drugs and seized his computer. The computer crap doesnt worry me because he could of clicked on a bad link or something. However, they also found printed materials. That worries me. If he has printed materials doesnt seem like that is a mistake.

The answers to our questions are in the MTV link someone posted. Waddy was arrested for kiddie porn materials/images printed out. He was charged with a misdemeanor which carries a maximum of one year in jail. I have never heard of a misdemeanor charge of child pornography. It could be something to do with the images themselves which is something we will never know. I do know child porn charges get enhanced if any images portray children under 12 years old and I think may get enhanced again for images portraying children under 6. The first few articles posted were very murky with stating he was charged with "suspicion of child pornography." You cant get convicted of suspicion. There must be evidence of a crime. For example, suspicion of bank robbery? Either you robbed the bank and there is evidence of that or not. No one gets arrested or charged with suspicion.
Things have changed some since 1998. Today the federal government is more involved charging people with child porn than the states did back then. In addition the sentences are more harsh. I did look up California statute and it said a felony conviction of child pornography can get 8 years maximum. A misdemeanor charge carries a maximum of 1 year in jail. In Miami last year there was a fireman in the city who was discovered to have child porn on his laptop. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison. He was prosecuted in federal court. I believe the CA statute requires any sex offender conviction to register as a sex offender for life. This means anywhere Waddy would move, he must check in and register with that state or local law enforcement office. In addition each country would have similar regulations and that is how this Australia thing made the news. Either Waddy and his wife dodged a bullet or the images were borderline child porn and thus the misdemeanor charge.

Prosecutors/law enforcement take crimes against children, and in particular sex crimes (including child pornography) VERY seriously. I find it highly, highly doubtful they would have dismissed charges or even let him plead to a misdemeanor if there was any indication he was doing something, or in possession of items, that would warrant a more severe sanction.

That's the case now. I think the world was a slightly different place regarding this sort of thing even as recently as 20 or so years ago. Cant speak for the rest of the world but certainly here in the UK there was a lot that was brushed off and ignored back in the 70's, 80's and even 90's that would never be ignored or disregarded now.

Didn't Pete Townshend get off in England when child porn was found on his computer by alleging he was "researching" child porn vicitms?

Yes he was either doing some kind of research as he had been abused as a boy or trying to prove Credit card companies made money from this....

I think its a joke meaning he was purchasing child porn on his credit card.


I don't think anyone bought his story. If you are researching child porn victim stories you are not looking at actual images of child porn. That was total rubbish. Its like being caught with cocaine and saying you were researching about cocaine addiction.
