Imagine, if they’d never asked him this question...he became a cop...and spent forty years in the “profession”. He would have continued his hobby for that entire period.
It happened here in VT. A police office was found to have been using materials seized in investigations to supplement his porn habit.
That was my thought as well. I’m glad he was dumb enough to admit it. He might even have been too dumb to be a cop, which is a feat in itself.
That’s the issue here though. Is it really a hobby if he only has 14 of those pictures on his PC? A real pedophile would make a “hobby” of it and have hundreds if not thousands of those photos on his PC.
Who knows why he kept the 14 pictures of kiddie porn on his computer and why he volunteered the information to the Police Dept. My guess is that he thought it was no big deal and that he wasn’t really into that perversion .
