Sober Worm's Unexpected Good Result: Pedophile Convinced To Turn Self In
from the unintended-consequences... dept
Remember last month when the latest version of the Sober worm started making the rounds over email? The emails mostly looked to be from some sort of official agency (I saw FBI and CIA) claiming that they had been monitoring your visits to illegal sites and saying you should turn yourself in. Apparently, some guy in Germany believed them. Because of the worm email, he turned himself in for visiting child pornography sites. The police then went to his home and found the illegal material on his computer.

I wish I could stand out side his cell
When he went to his Probation Officer the next month after he took the money and broke down crying and confessing to the crime that nobody had any way of proving he did. Up till now that was the dumbest criminal I ever knew of. He got 18 months and had to restart all of his diversion classes which costed a ton all because he couldn't stand getting away with the perfect crime.
