Official Viewed 24,000 Explicit Web Sites At Office

POSTED: 12:20 pm CST March 27, 2005

FOND DU LAC, Wis. -- A City of Fond du Lac official being investigated for allegedly viewing pornography on his office computer, viewed some 24,000 explicit sites, some featuring children younger than 10-years-old.

A closed session for council members revealed the information last week.

Council member Michael Schmal said a review of two years of files showed the employee had visited the sites for about four to six hours a day from 2003 to 2004.

Schmal said one of the sites he reviewed was voyeuristic and made him sick.

The city has not yet decided on whether to fire the employee, who was initially disciplined last June.

Fond du Lac police have said the material does not meet the test for criminal prosecution.

Thanks for the ping Calpernia.

Notice how there can be no signs of Christianity on any gov't property, but gov't employees are free to view perversion all day long.

This world was given to Lucifer long ago. He is just consolidating his power base compliments of the ACLU.

The quantity sounds unbelievable. I had a virus on my computer that would lock up my browser and visit hundreds of sites in a few minutes if I didn't catch it and close the browser. I had pop up blocker running so that the sites didn't open a new window, but I noticed that my history folder showed that I had visited hundreds of sites sometimes, most of them porn or online casinos. I hate to think how that would have appeared had someone else viewed it. The numbers of sites referred to in this story makes me wonder if this couldn't have been a similar situation. I eventually had to reformat the hard drive to stop the problem as no spyware removal or vius removal seemed to do the trick permanently.

This "official" would easily find work at the U.N.

[taxesareforever]

Could become a new leader in the DNC.

Perhaps he has some sort of "tenure."

Well that still left 2-4 hours per day for long lunches, hanging out at the water cooler, xeroxing body parts and sneaking out early for golf.

Ooooohhhh. Yuuuuuuuuuccccckkkkk!

Cal, on this one, I may be correct, it is a game.

I don't know if I can explain what I know/or think I know.

When I went on the Internet in 1999, it was not really a willing Ruth that signed up.

I had heard about the sex chat rooms from someone that I knew, and had picked up the many conversations of having sex with a computer. (for the record, I have never been in a sex chat, unless you want to count this post.)

When I was young, if you didn't want to go to a whore house, you went down to the local bar and met someone. Or to a dance hall.

As I am a curious person, with a background of Baptist to cocktail waitress, it is possible that I saw more than the
average person in what is going on.

In the 1950's you went and danced, touched and hoped to get
lucky. ( I was in San Diego and had a military family and husband, so I know what the people had in mind.)

By 1999, you go on the computer to meet people, even as simple as meeting you here. In 1950's era, I would have met you at a garden club or a stamp club or church, not over an
electric line.

Add the NOW gang, it became against the law to even tell the person next to you, that you liked the way they looked, either sex it might mean sexual thoughts, and a lawsuit.

So fully grown normal people turned to the easily available porn on the computer.

When I learned of it, it upset me, as it could only lead to where it is, to find a marriage partner, you do it on the computer.

It also serves to keep us from meeting in person and forming political groups.

Anytime you do the same thing over and over, it gets boring,
therefore, the common sex with a photo, has to have something more to give it spark.

So the sick ones brag to anyone who will listen, and even
send spam to those who don't want to listen, they need the excitement of someone watching.

Soon you are into the "Can you top this", as was with the man arrested the other day for raping a tiny baby, live on the computer.

As you know, I don't do the heavy digging in the porn sites, but do find it, do you recall the thread that I sent to you, on how to get the porn photos back into the U.S., after you had been on a child sex trip out of the country.

That was a bunch of people willing to tell how they had managed to get the photos back and not get arrested.

The 'sting' operation that was pulled off in California, last month, the one where all the men came to charter a boat to go to Mexico for child sex, they wanted to go as a group, so they could share the wonders of their experiences, or so I would think.

The time that would have been spent out dancing and dining, to meet and score, is now spent alone, and bored.

Keep in mind that the youth are taught in school to have sex, be gay, get an abortion.

What does that leave the young to call exciting?

We are seeing the results of all this NOW crap in the babies that are being raped.

They will rape younger and younger, as the older people will fight back and the loner who is doing the raping, often has no training on how to win.

In the old days, our young went to the military and learned what life and death was.

Today they set in front of a computer and yell, "Peace" .

While doing research for an article on Chloride, Az, in 1850,
I found the whore house, built of rocks by the miners for the last 3 whores that worked in the mining camps.

A lovely little one room house. It sets on BLM land.

A miner's journal taught me that they worked for $3.00 per day. These were the hard rock underground silver mines.

He said that the days wages were spent:

$1.00 for room and board
$1.00 for alcohol
$1.00 to the local whore

They were healthy hard working men, with out porn photos or a computer.

[cherokee1]

Yeah, Yeah, sure---this guy no doubt had a virus---probly had a defective spam blocker. That would explain why he spent 4 HOURS A DAY watching it run. Don't them NORSKIES have ANYTHING to do in the winter? Sounds like we need to unplug his life support. He clearly isn't using what ever he has for a life.

"Don't try this at work, kids!

(Unless you work for the gummint)"

As a government contractor, I have personally busted federal government employees with porn on their PCs and using government PCs to broadcast nude webcams. These offenses were covered up by other government employees (my bosses). The thing that burns me most about this is when contractors do it, they are (rightfully) immediately dismissed. Federal employees get a pass.

"The Glove Didn't Fit".

That was the perfect touch.

I really did laugh out loud.

[Calpernia]

OMG!

[international american]

Welcome to Wis. " Perverts Be Us"

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Actually it's "Perverts 'R' Us." (TM)

I love my home state...but I'm telling you, the more I learn about my fellow Wisconsinites, that remote survivalist cabin in the North Woods looks better to me with each passing year. *SIGH*

Wish me luck on my "escape." ;)

[international american]

There seem to be a few hotbeds of leftism in Wis...Madison campus comes to mind :) I'm sure there are many good people like yourself as well.Great cheese too!

7. The Cyfin software tabulated Appellant’s internet use for a one-month period (March of 2002) by listing each visit separately. The listing showed the site visited and the time of the visit, to the second. The printed version of the report on Appellant’s use took up 444 pages and reflected more than 28,000 internet visits, including 8,000 to sites that were placed into the pornography category by the software. The report also showed 131,000 multi-media hits, including pop-ups, banners and advertisements, out of a total of 172,000 hits by Appellant’s computer during March.

Doesn't anybody do the math anymore?

There are 44,540 minutes in March. If this guy was surfing 24 hours a day for the entire month, he spent an average of 2 minutes on each of the 28,000 web sites he is accused of "visiing". In actual fact, being that he is a government employee, it is extremely doubtful that he work 24/7 and more likely worked 8/5. If that is the case we also have to add the fact that the scanning software found he was "on line" only half the time doing nasty things... giving him 5040 minutes... or that means that he must have spent an average of 10.8 seconds on each of the 28,000 sites he was supposed to have visited.

Now, they did say that only 8000 of those were pornographic ... so, let's be generous and say he spent only 1 second on the 20,000 non-porno sites... leaving the rest of the time for porn... an average of 35.3 seconds per site. What is he a speed wanker?

This is also ignoring the 131,000 multi-media hits during the month of his surfing... whow... if we add in THOSE surfing minutes... giving us the 172,000 website hits then he spent 1.75 seconds per web site in his surfing. This guy must be a poster boy for Evelyn Wood Speed Reading!

The real answer to all this is that his computer was heavily infested with spyware, adware, pop-ups and he was without a clue. This guy lost his job because of the Malware epidemic AND a bunch of people who don't know how to do the math...

I suspect the same thing may have hit the guy this thread is about.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

I agree that there is more to the calculation of precisely how much time he spent surfing that the raw numbers coming out of the Cyfin report. However - he didn't challenge any of it and was represented by an attorney during the disciplinary process. So, give or take a few thousand hits - he was completely ignoring the policy of his department, and whatever the ostensible purpose of him being employed by that agency was. This fellow was not wrongly dismissed.

[Swordmaker]

I suspect the guy did not defend himself because he HAD visited a few porn sites... but certainly not the 8000 or 28000... he visited one or a few and got the pop-ups and spyware/adware which accounted for all the other hits. There may have been a few that he spent more than few minutes on... but with the sheer level of hits, his "Surfing experience" could not have been high-quality. Just last month I was called to a business office because one of the XP computers (behind a firewall and with anti-spy/adware/virus running) had somehow gotten infected. Once it booted it was literally 45 minutes before the computer was evenb minimally usable due to all the spyware and adware doing its thing... calling home or popping up ads which had to be downloaded. It had over 800 spyware/adware/hijackers pieces (including 26 actual spyware/adware processes) vying for time on the network with the legitimate work the computer was supposed to be doing. Oh, did I mention the 12 trojans I found?

A little detective work discovered that the JANITOR'S ten year old son had come to work with him one day a couple of weeks before... and went to an on-line game site and downloaded something... which required him to turn off the protections... and installed it. WHAM! What ever he installed disabled the anti-spyware while still making it look like it was working... and proceeded to do its thing... fun.

It took me going registry diving and hand deleting some things that were running even in Safe Mode... and the application of Spy-bot Search & Destroy, Ad-Aware, AND MicroSoft AntiSpyware Beta, plus Grisoft's AVG, and CWShredder, with multiple applications of each in both Safe Mode AND normal windows operation to completely clean the mess up.
