Since I don't have any contact with my officers right now, and I also want to get some info from people all around....Have to set it up a bit
Tonight I had a couple of friends come over. We're hanging out and having a good time, and one of my friends and I got into out history with porn. Not a big deal...talking about our teen years and getting caught, stuff like that.
It was actually a pretty funny topic, till my friend let slip a situation that happened to him that killed the mood completely.
When he was younger, 12 or 14...possibly 14, he got into downloading from peer-share sites. Then one day, he unknowing downloaded a child porn clip. He only saw it for the few seconds it took to get over his shock and close out that clip.
It freaked him out in a major way. Here he is, a 13 year old, sick to his stomach, and scared out of his mind that the FBI is coming to get him for that few seconds of some sick crap. He actually burned his hard drive.
Now he is 22 years old. He is still disturbed by what he saw, angry and mad at himself that he saw it, that he didn't do anything about it, because he was scared of what would happen to him. And angry at the sick SOB that was in the video. And he's still worried if anything can happen to him because of that. And here is the question:
Can what happened to him 8 years ago effect him today? Can he be charged with anything? If he applies for a job that requires him to take a polygraph, is that going to screw him? He was thinking about becoming a special agent for the IRS or FBI when he graduates with his accounting degree. Will this prohibit him from doing anything like that?
I feel for the guy. He is disturbed by this. No one should have to see that, and I feel for the LEO's that have to deal with this crap. Answering the phone call and having to take the information is hard enough.....
