A man caught driving naked from the waist down while watching kiddie porn on his laptop has become the first man in Toronto charged for allegedly stealing an internet connection. Toronto police laid a theft of communications charge after busting a man driving in the residential High Park area, the wrong way down a one-way street, downloading child porn using stolen wireless internet signals.
The slow-moving car was pulled over around 5 a.m. on Wednesday by an 11 Division police officer who allegedly found the driver -- with no pants on -- watching a movie on his laptop of a 10-year-old girl performing fellatio on an adult.
Police allege the man downloaded the movie using an Internet connection he intercepted from a nearby house.
Stealing internet signals, or war driving as it is sometimes called, is becoming more and more common among perverts trying to avoid online detection.
It's also a way they can invade someone else's computer which could have serious ramifications for unsuspecting wireless internet subscribers, police say.
'VERY DISTURBING'
"That means people can use, access and get into your computer, your files, and your internet signal, and if anything illegal was done, it would come back to your computer," Det.-Sgt. Paul Gillespie of the Toronto police child exploitation section, said.
"It's very disturbing. This is a problem that isn't going away and people have to be educated on how to protect themselves."
Gillespie's unit was called in after Wednesday's arrest and together with the OPP's Project P unit, they searched the man's Delhi home he shares with his parents.
They recovered 10 computers and thousands of CDs and floppy discs they suspect contain child abuse images.
"It involves some of the worst child pornography that we've ever seen, including young children and babies. I hate to say it but it's becoming typical of what we're seeing," Gillespie said.
FILE-SHARING
It will take investigators between 20 to 40 hours to go through each computer and several more hours to detail each image found on each disc before they will know exactly how many images the man allegedly had, he added.
Gillespie said the man used Kazaa, a popular file-sharing web program commonly used to share music, to download the graphic material. In a study using 12 words associated with child pornography, the U.S. General Accounting Office found that 42% of 1,286 files on the peer-to-peer site contained child porn.
"It's turned into the largest single way in which like minded people share and trade child pornography," he said.
Det.-Sgt. Frank Goldschmidt, from Project P, said the last three child porn collectors his unit arrested also used Kazaa to download porn and stole internet connections to get online.
"It's becoming more and more common," he said.
Walter Nowakowski, 33, of Delhi faces numerous child pornography charges.
Pretty soon, I bet,
the same activists who push
for gay marriage will
start compaigning to
lower the age-of-consent
to something like five...
you can't make this stuff up ping...
Five what? Years? Months? Days? Hours?
""Ho, hum," says the U.S. media. "Don't bother us. We're busy. We have these water buckets we're carrying for NAMBLA." Those initials stand for the North American Man Boy Love Association. Their long-standing motto, "sex before eight – or it's too late," only recently revised, makes their intent pretty clear."

Noisy muffler, no driver's license, and an MP5 in the back seat ... next to the two kilos of coke?
Well, duh! Search for porn, get porn. How is this useful information?
And this was a case of a heterosexual pervert, not a gay man.
I don't believe that
all these issues are disjunct.
My experience
has been that fringe sex
people aren't defined by
this or that sex game,
rather they're driven
simply by licentiousness,
and they will pursue
any social and
legal methods to destroy
attempts to define,
limit or enforce
any limitations on
their orgasmic quests.
Please describe your "experience" for we without imaginations.
Get out of here. Read
