After police executed a search warrant on his email, prosecutors say they found an email with five attachments showing nude images of young girls.
Anyone can send someone an email. Have all of you looked at all your emails?
I know a person who did a lot of work on child porn cases. One email would not pass the smell test. They ordinarily found encrypted virtual drives with hundreds and thousands of images that were extremely graphic.
It makes me wonder if there is much more, or much less to this than meets the eye.
You may have "Received" it, but not legally "received" it. The capital "R" is the difference.
I think, although not an attorney, it would be hard to convict if you don't open the email. The opinion I was given is old. What displays on your screen is not a legal document unless you control the display.
I think you are OK with ordering from a pizza company website. Try to refrain from ordering on Craig’s List through third party single moms.
US Customs comes under ICE and US Customs handles child porn cases.
Yep! In 1997, I received some crap from a woman I met online. Only two pictures, thankfully, but enough to freak me out and want to smash my computer into Oblivion. The pics weren’t even that extreme, so it was likely her way of drawing me in. I was young, then. Today, I’d be talking with the State’s A.G.
“Salamak used email to seek and obtain images of child sexual abuse, including images of prepubescent children...The AP reported: Prosecutors say an undercover officer first made contact with Salamak after he posted on Craigslist that he was looking for women and moms “that are into Cheese Pizza,” a reference to child pornography.”
Sounded more like he was asking around for it...and then received it, at least in his case. Most likely that’s the standard, but given how broadly laws are written now, you still may have a point regarding future cases.
I didn’t know that thanks.
Sick...very sick...
That would be “soliciting,” and his own actions. Sounds more significant than just saying “Receiving.”
” looking for women and moms “that are into Cheese Pizza,” a reference to child pornography.””
Wait, so pizza is a code for child porn? I remember reading that Podesta was justa fan of Italian pie and THATS’S why he was always talking about pizza in all those emails
The perverts have a hold on DC.
I like pepperoni, but the thing is, it has cheese too. Practically all pizza does, except for the cheeseless ones.
Looks like a pretty weak case to me. So far at least.
How dare these idiots take claim to one of my favorite foods!
I am nervous about the wording of the charge-Receiving child porn. If receiving is a crime, especially with email then anyone can be sent an email then busted for it. Soliciting porn would be a different thing and understandable actionable.
Agreed. You can't control what someone sends you. All you can really do is delete it and report it to local police, which probably won't do a lot of good, as chances are the apparent sender is probably not the actual sender. Now, if your inbox is full of saved messages with that crap, that's a different story. Also, most email clients don't actually delete the email when you tell it to delete. It just marks it for deletion and is possibly moved to a "trash" folder/directory. To actually get rid of it, you'd have to delete and empty the trash. I know that in my case, because I use Thunderbird, I'd also 'compact' my inbox, as that does a more thorough job of removing it.
I delete anything that is unfamiliar and check the origins of everything that looks right. The trash gets deleted every couple of days.
