Great idea about the prosecution. The US has so many laws, I'm sure a prosecutor could make *something* stick - on anyone, not just this guy.

And of course, just the accusation will incline the jury to vote guilty - why, Helen Keller couldn't escape a charge of possessing child pornography in today's climate, and being deaf and blind she couldn't have stopped anyone from planting the evidence either - although, of course, seeing how easy it is to breach the average user's computer security, most people - even with all five senses in good working order and paying attention - wouldn't even be aware if the cops or someone else planted child pornography on their computer.

But there's no doubt we have to act! After all, child sexual abuse has been proven to be the fifth most harmful type of child abuse, after physical abuse, physical neglect, emotional abuse and emotional neglect. We can't just sit on the sidelines, and if some innocent people accidentally go to jail and end up on the sex offender list for the rest of their life, that's just the price society will have to pay for protecting our children!
