Via GCN:
Charles Lynch, director of the Defense Information Systems Agency’s Internet Protocol version 6 transition program, was arrested March 8 and indicted in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia the next day on one count of possessing child pornography.
According to a statement by the DOD Inspector General’s Office, court documents allege that Lynch had been operating a peer-to-peer file-sharing program on a computer in his office at DISA. Agents confiscated several computers and more than 1,000 CDs from Lynch’s office. Agents found child pornography in computer file folders, the IG’s statement said.
Lynch, 44, is on leave without pay from DISA. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.
Hopefully, this file-sharing network that has been discovered will expose many others involved in this disgusting behaviour that damages so many children and scars them for life.
