WHAT? This guy cruised child porn sites on city time for 4-6 hours each day for the past two years and there's NOTHING there for prosecution? And they can't even DECIDE whether or not to fire him? Our Tax Dollars at work! :(

Let me repeat that...
The city has not yet decided on whether to fire the employee
Unbelievable.
Hey, wouldn't want to infringe on anyones sexual freedom, dude.
ping
Want to bet that he was often paid overtime?
Look for the union label...

Sexual freedom and child porn don't have anything to do with each other, IMHO.
Apparently it takes a lot of time for the city to ... ahem .... "review" the evidence.
Don't try this at work, kids!
(Unless you work for the gummint)
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
Talk about making money hand over fist!
(Old "Friends" joke)
He could probably claim that he did NOT know that it was illegal to look at porn on company time because no one ever told him as such. He probably thought that "sexual freedom" gave him official cover.
In a few years he'll be a newly elected mayor, congressmen or judge. In the right community, this is a resume enhancement.

That says all state prohibit child pornography. So WHAT doesn't test for criminal prosecution?????
Child Pornography
All states prohibit child pornography. Child pornography may encompass either: 1) the creation or reproduction of materials depicting minors engaged in actual or simulated sexual activity (Sexual Exploitation of Minors) or 2) the publication or distribution of obscene, indecent, or harmful materials to minors. All such laws require actual knowledge, or reason to know, that the person portrayed or the recipient of the obscene, indecent, or harmful material is a minor. A few states also penalize the distribution, with reckless disregard, of obscene or indecent materials to minors. The states generally provide defenses to the publisher or distributor where some reasonable attempt has been made to discern the age of the recipient of the obscene, indecent, or harmful material.
As noted above, most state statutes reach beyond what is deemed to be obscene for adults to prohibit the distribution of material that has been determined to be harmful to minors, including that which is indecent or excessively violent. As with obscenity statutes generally, what is harmful to minors is to be determined with reference to the local community. Note, too, that the definition of a minor varies among the states, with most state laws applying to the distribution of harmful material to persons under the age of 18 years but some states prohibiting the distribution of harmful material to those under the age of 17 years.
And his workload allowed him to spend 4 - 6 hours a day cruising the 'net on porn watch rather than doing his job, whatever that was ?
Sounds like the taxpayers need to demand the elimination of that position, as clearly it does not contribute to the general welfare!!
The admin should be fired too.
(is spending 4-6 hours/day on Free Republic grounds for being fired?)
