Spyware threatens to lock up another wrongly accused
[ratings]
Sixteen-year-old Matthew Bandy was a normal 16 year old, living in a small suburban town in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. At least that was until a couple of years ago loud knocking spelled the start of a titanic struggle against the charges laid against him. Charges which could lead to 90 years imprisonment.
The knocking was the police. Matthew Bandy was charged with possession of 9 exlicit pictures of a minor and placed under house arrest until his trial. He was fitted with an electronic tag around his ankle, not allowed to go anywhere where there may be children, and not allowed to even attend his local church without getting written consent from his parish priest.

Teacher faces 40 years for spyware opening porn sites to her students
[ratings]
A female teacher in Norwich currently awaits a possible 40 year sentence for being found responsible for spyware allowing 10 minors viewing porn in her classroom. This is a strange one.
Julie Amero was acting as a substitute teacher when pornographic pop-ups started appearing on the screens of a computer in her classroom. I’m sure you’ve all had spyware problems at some stage, you know the pop ups that when clicked, open up 10 more pop-ups. Since spyware runs in the background and can be initiated but a number of things you do on your computer Amero obviously had no control over when this was going to happen. In fact, having noticed spyware on the pc, she had put in a number of previous requests to the school administration to have them fixed but was ignored. In fact, the school did have content filtering software but when the pop-up frenzy ensued, the license had expired.
