The possibility that someone else used the computer since it was out of his possession could be enough to cast 'reasonable doubt'.

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).
