And please note that you are now guilty of possession of child porn. The fact that you have/had an image on your computer is an AUTOMATIC CONVICTION should they choose to prosecute you and examine the hard disk for fragments. Your "story" about how it got there is irrelevant. Nice world, eh?


Yeah, that would make me think twice about calling any authorities. Even if they didn't prosecute, I'd be worrying for a long time. What's the statue of limitations on that? If you ever got on the wrong side of someone in authority, they could drag that out, convict you (on your own 'confession'), and (IIRC) place you on the sex offenders list so basically your entire life gets ruined.

I'm glad that I've been fortunate enough to not have received such filth, and hope I never do. Touch wood
