Associates of an Infoseek exec arrested for using chat to solicit a minor may have been shocked and surprised, but not the FBI. As it turns out, a corner office at a high-profile, high-tech company isn't such an unlikely place to find an online pedophile -- not according to records being yielded from a three-year-old Federal Bureau of Investigation crackdown on Internet pornography.

Of the 413 people arrested as part of the agency's "Innocent Images" investigation since 1995, "only a handful have not been upper-middle-class, educated white men," said Special Agent Pete Gulotta who serves as the investigation's chief spokesman. "They're almost all white males between the ages of 25 and 45.

Fat lot of validity the Innocent Images study had, though no problem with you for bringing it to our attention!

They started out front with persons who were white upper middle class, respectable figures, and found some of them were pedophiles despite their "innocent images."

Garbage in, Garbage OUT! LOL!

No lower-class, suspicious-image persons were even looked at. If they had been, probably a far higher proportion of THEM would have had deviant tendencies.

that shouldn't surprise you.

..it would take a person who has a computer,firstly, and secondly, a person who has the internet..

..do you think poor people or even the working poor can all afford that...no , they all can't

It also takes a person who has plenty of computer time and does not have to break his back for a living...

so yes, white males with upper incomes would be heavily represented in these cases.
