A guy I know had his computers seized under allegations of possession of child pornography. This guy had been caught looking at child porn when he was sixteen, then once again at eighteen, then once more by his ex-girlfriend(who he sexually assaulted) at twenty. In an email he sent me(and presumably kept a copy of on his computer) he confessed to both the sexual assault and the child pornography. He also posted child porn images on a rape fetish site, and was forced to take those images down by the site(learned this from a google search of his screen name). He also admitted to his ex-girlfriend that he touched his niece once several years ago, proving he is capable of acting on his urges. Anyway, the police seized his laptop and his home computer. However, this was on June 23rd and it is now nearing the end of September. Does anyone know how long the typical search time for something like this is? Or if the long wait means they found images or if it means they haven't found anything? Also, because of posting images online, is that distribution? Or can that not be proven because of the post being deleted by the administrator?(for the record, they made him delete the post, rather than delete it themselves, not sure if that makes a difference) I hate the idea of him getting away with yet another crime...
