When Identity Theft And Child Porn Collide

from the mistaken-arrests dept

Two big problems online that are often discussed in separate ways are identity theft and child porn. Here's a story that combines them both, to tell about a school teacher who was arrested for child porn after his credit card was stolen and used to buy child porn. Luckily, the guy had already reported the problems with his card being stolen and the police found out who really had taken the card. However, as identity theft becomes a bigger and bigger problem, there will certainly be more cases like this - where someone completely innocent will be implicated in a crime.
