Man blames cat for downloading child porn

Ok, as defences go it's creative. And I did hear of a cat once knocking over a telephone and pressing speed dial by mistake. But all those searches and keystrokes might be too much for most pussycats ...

Deputies say US man blames cat for downloading child porn by jumping on computer keyboard 

The Associated Press 

JENSEN BEACH, Florida - Florida investigators say a man accused of downloading child pornography is blaming his cat. Keith Griffin is charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography after detectives found more than 1,000 images on his home computer. According to a sheriff's report Friday, Griffin told investigators that his cat jumped on the computer keyboard while he was downloading music. He said he had left the room and found "strange things" on his computer when he returned. Griffin is being held on $250,000 bond in the Martin County jail. It is unclear if he has an attorney.

In truth the defence is absurd but it's a very serio
us issue. I've seen the effects of childhood sexu
al abuse and they are dreadful. And child porn
inevitably involves some aspect of such abuse.
