RE: DoD IPv6 Director Arrested on Possession of Child Porn

["Richard M. Smith" <rms () bsf-llc com>]

Here in Boston, an MIT student was just busted also.  He was an Eagle Scout
and high school project winner.  Some Web sites are already pulling his name
and bio from their Web pages, but the pages are still in the Google cache.

Holy shit. What's wrong with these people? (rhetorical question)

A high-ranking Defense Department IT official has been arrested and indicted
on child pornography charges.

Charles Lynch, director of the Defense Information Systems Agency's Internet
Protocol version 6 transition program, was arrested March 8 and indicted in
the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia the next day on
one count of possessing child pornography.

According to a statement by the DOD Inspector General's Office, court
documents allege that Lynch had been operating a peer-to-peer file-sharing
program on a computer in his office at DISA. Agents confiscated several
computers and more than 1,000 CDs from Lynch's office. Agents found child
pornography in computer file folders, the IG's statement said.

Lynch, 44, is on leave without pay from DISA. If convicted, he faces up to
10 years in prison.
