One of the best ways to eliminate a political enemy is to get him branded as a pedophile. Those charges never go away.

Exactly what I was thinking.
That and having child pornography. Having no technical knowledge of my own, I asked a question on a thread, some months ago, about the possibility of remotely installing child pornography on someone’s hard drive in order to discredit him/take him out of circulation. Don’t know if it can be done, but I am betting it can be. Possession of such is one of the last taboos in our society and turns most people against the perv in possession.

Very difficult to do unless they open their computer to you somehow. The law has to prove that the perp knew the child porn was there. Luckily, child pornographers are very good about documenting their use of porn. They go to sites where it is available, they share it, they archive it.
A former coworker ran a porn site for the Russian mob after he got out of prison. He never “knew” what was on the site so he had plausible deniability.
