Wade Rowland Sanders: Motives For Child Porn Were “Pure and Innocent”
http://www.inquisitr.com/12983/wade-rowland-sanders/
October 2007: Investigation into Wade Rowland Sanders begins; FBI agents report finding pornographic images of children on a computer in Sanders’ home via a filesharing network
• May 2008: Agents seize Sanders’ computer; Sanders reportedly admits to having the images but says he deleted the files immediately after their downloads
• May 2008: The FBI finds multiple videos showing child pornography on Sanders’ hard drive, according to official documents obtained by the Tribune
• November 2008: Sanders is arrested
• December 2008: Sanders pleads guilty to one felony charge of possession of images of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct
He had worked with the Clinton administration on helping child sex abuse victims internationally, he says, and had downloaded the files to research an article related to the subject. He claims he didn’t know viewing the material for research purposes would constitute a crime.
