University Professor James Kent Case Study

In 1999, James Kent, a public administration professor at Maris College in Poughkeepsie, NY, began his research on the topic of child pornography for a book he was planning to write.

However, in June 2000, he dropped his idea and deleted all the copies of the files from his computer.

In 2005, the college replaced his computer with a new one but copied all the files to the new computer.

In 2007, the professor complained to the school’s IT department about the improper functioning of the new computer provided by the college.

The school’s IT department ran a virus scan to check the computer. To their surprise, they found a huge number of pictures of scantily dressed, very young girls posing in sexually arousing poses.

Kent said these photos were part of his research project, and he now has no access to those files. He was charged with 141 counts of possession of child pornography. He appealed in court, but it was of no use. He did not know that while viewing child pornography online, a copy of the pornography was created in his web browser's cache.
