OK, so they found porn on his computer, but why has he resigned? As long as it doesn’t feature children or animals, whats the problem?
George Costanza: [pause] “Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorence on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I’ve worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time!”
Misuse of Government property. Most private employers would fire him too.
“whats the problem?”
In his case he is married to a lawyer.
Justice WILL be done, count on it. Not to mention extortion, infliction of extreme financial suffering, ad anuseam.
I'm relatively sure that work computers are supposed to not contain any inappropriate or unauthorized materials, which I'm guessing that porn violates that in at least one manner. Odds are also that if he had it on his work computer, it got there through the court's internet connection, which again probably violates a few codes of conduct.
If it was on a personally owned computer, and he was using his own network connection to download it, wouldn't care much either.
It was women. You don’t want a heterosexual on the bench, do you?
To me, it depends on how it got there. If he brought it from home, then you gotta wonder why would someone bring that stuff from home and put it on their work computer.
If he downloaded at work, he would be fired from any professional company based on the internet usage rules. There is absolutely no need for that type of thing to be on a work computer. You are supposed to be working.
