- I would hate to be on the jury and have to bear witness to the evidence. I don't think I could take it having small children myself. As for punishment the Special Ops side comes out in me. In other words child pornographers don't deserve to die. How could someone take pleasure in a childs misery.

- You know what... I always wondered... (not to be sick or anything)
What if you were underage and looking at underage porn... what's the legalities of that...
Not to be sick or anything (as said above) but it's kinda curious... It'd be kinda hard to prove that in any kinda court that it was your child looking at the child pornography. -

A spokeswoman for the Australian Federal Police said warrants were executed yesterday with the NSW Child Protection Squad arresting the 29-year-old man at a home in the Wollongong suburb of Thirroul. He has been charged with possessing child pornography and will appear in Wollongong Local court on March 23.
The spokeswoman declined to comment on whether further arrests would be made in Australia.
She said the Australian High-Tech Crime Centre, established in July 2003 last year, played an integral part in the international multi-agency investigation called Operation Twins. She said this was an investigation into a sophisticated and well-coordinated web-based paedophile ring operating worldwide.
"Yesterday search warrants were executed worldwide with a number of arrests being made in several countries, along with the seizure of images, equipment and other items," she said.
The operation was led by the United Kingdom's national high-tech crime unit and was supported by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, US Customs, European Police (Europol), the German Federal Police and the AFP.
I'll leave you to decide exactly how good it is; the first comment on the page is a bit... depressing!
