Ew. There is always such a witch hunt and willingness to ditch due process when these stories come up.

I worked with a guy at the Pentagon that was arrested for child porn. He was getting a divorce and his wife had moved out, but she turned over his computer with child porn on it. Everybody was going nuts. He was bounced out of there and had his security clearance pulled.

I was the only one that said anything about the "chain of custody" issue, innocent until proven guilty, etc.

Turns out that she planted the porn. It was a nasty divorce, obviously. The damage to his career had been done - and security clearances are a privilege whose denial is not subject to "much" due process.

I was unable to find a follow-up story in the news about how the charges never made it to court. I'd bet it doesn't exist.

Herndon man charged with producing child pornography by Gregg MacDonald
Staff Writer

A federal employee from Herndon has been arrested and charged with possessing and producing child pornography after his stepson turned him in, according to police.
Carl E. Mitchell, 60, who works for the U.S. Agency for International Development, was arrested and charged Tuesday with one count of possession of child pornography and one count of production of child pornography, according to the Herndon Police Department. Mitchell lives in the 1300 block of Grant Street in Herndon.
According to a search warrant affidavit filed in Fairfax County Circuit Court, Mitchell’s stepson was using his stepfather’s computer July 4 when he discovered “a voyeuristic video of his 10-year-old biological brother which depicted his brother naked and using the bathroom.”
Herndon police spokesman Jeff Coulter said the stepson contacted the Herndon Police Department after seeing the video.
According to the search warrant, when police arrived at Mitchell’s home, the stepson showed police additional images on Mitchell’s computer depicting other minors in various sexual situations.
Police confiscated computers, external hard drives and other items from Mitchell’s home, including two remote-controlled motion-sensor cameras disguised as alarm clocks and drug paraphernalia, according to the search warrant.
On Friday, Lars Anderson, a spokesman for USAID, confirmed that Mitchell is an employee with the federal agency, which provides U.S. economic and humanitarian assistance to developing nations.
“USAID was notified of the arrest and took immediate action to suspend [Mitchell’s] security clearance and has suspended him without pay pending further action by law enforcement," Anderson said.
Coulter said Friday that Mitchell was being held at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center on a $50,000 bond. No attorney information has yet been made available. Mitchell is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in Fairfax County District Court on Aug. 2, according to court records.
“The investigation is continuing and additional charges are pending,” Coulter said.
The Herndon Police Department is urging anyone with concerns about children who may have recently come in contact with Mitchell to contact Detective Croson of the Herndon police at 703-435-6846.

I have known Mr. Mitchell for over 20 years(and lived with him for 7) and this whole affair REEKS of a setup as described in the above post. He is one of the kindest and most caring individuals I have met in this lifetime. This situation REQUIRES that BEFORE we go off and condemn him maybe a little more investigation/thought should be taken here. Also I'm betting that NO ONE will "The Herndon Police Department is urging anyone with concerns about children who may have recently come in contact with Mitchell to contact Detective Croson of the Herndon" BECAUSE nothing has happened. IMHO

Ugh. I hate to say it, but the stepson finding the evidence of his sibling is pretty damning - or they REALLY want to send this guy up the river. What kind of sick fuck would video a 10yo as part of a set up for the older brother to find? Hell hath no fury, etc.

Forensics will set him free if he is innocent... or at least I hope the person performing the forensics is aware that a life will be unnecessarily ruined if the suspect is innocent and the witch hunt abandons all common sense.

Even if he is cleared, the damage is done.

In other news [insert FFU name here] has child porn on their computer.

Right, because a person being a nice caring individual automatically means they can't also be a pedophile? Maybe this guy is innocent and being framed, maybe he isn't. None of us know that, not even you. For you to assume that he wouldn't do something like this because he seemed like a nice caring individual is offensive and trivializes the abuse children face every day by people with the same character you have just described.

See, this kind of thing makes me fucking sick. Women who lie about rape/child porn etc just so they can make a man they hate suffer are some of the worst fucking people. No man deserves to be accused of such a heinous thing unless there's some actual truth to it. Too many lives have been ruined this way. I hope that guy's life turned out okay, but it's tough to recover from something like that.

I never saw him at work again. He was walked out of the pentagon past all his coworkers in handcuffs. IN HANDCUFFS. Think about that. There's no way to run away and get outside the building unless you're Jason Bourne - and maybe not even then.

you know what i think is sick?
all you who act like there should be more punishment, yes what he did was wrong! and you know what he is getting punished for it but not only him his hole family! mainly because he was the one taking care of them! i know Carl very well and its shocking that he did this, the feeling you get when you hit someone with a car, but the feeling lingers because it wont go away. but you know what dose not help is when you also hear and see what other rude stuff people are saying, yes its gross but his step son fucking attacked me as well, his step son stole non stop and his step son with no one knowing hacked onto his computer to snoop. this here i also think is not allowed but he gets away with it because he found a pervert, or a creep!. his step son ruined that poor little boys life because his step son who saw the gross things yeah, blew the situation up to extreams. Carl is not and was never one to ever think that this would happen. everyone has problems keep that in mind. i know for a fact that Carl has never touch that little boy nor ever touch or took photos of his step son. this site, this site people cry over because this situation needs to come to an end. and these sites wont let it. its over with, let it be. im sick of finding these.
