Story: Trojan horse found responsible for child porn

Hi a VERY GOOD POINT. I am on the sex offenders register for 5 years after taking wot woz on the table, on offer by the police. I had 12 t.horses on my comps it was third hand and the police found 34 kiddy porn pictures on my computer. I did NOT DOWNLOAD THEM!
i am not intrested in that stuff.

I had my family home raided in that morning around 7am by UK police, to my shock and my fathers, i had to police officers standing at my bedroom room arresting me for downloading kiddy porn!

WHAT THE HELL!

Anyway after a very long battle and confused state, my lawers hired a computer expert to look at my computer and found 12.t.horses on the harddrive, the pics could not have been seen by me as they were a weird file format, and deep in my hardrive plus the police could not say when they were downloaded or at what time of day.

But they still charged me! they dident even say anything about the t.horses to us until we hired a computer expert at the cost of 10,000 pounds of taxpayers money.

I was told i may win my case in court by my lawers however i could have to wait another year before it was over. and they could not say for sure i would be found not guilty. if found guilty of this crime i could have be locked up for upto five years.

so after a long talk with my family and lawers i decided to accept what the police offered me after reading our expert computer guy. A police caution,
which also means i have to sign on to the sex offenders register for 5 years. Cop visits to my home, have to tell the police of any jobs i have, if i change my address, name, get a tatoo etc.. my life is no longer mine...

Its theres im just a puppet and they pull the strings.

Why you ask was i arrested in the first place. Well someone had traced my ip address via the internet. But it was not me behind the ip address, someone had cloned my ip address, is my guess. But does not matter cops saw it was being used my me (offically) and arrested me and the rest is history.

Now i chose to accept the police caution, and say i commited a crime when infact i DID NOT DO IT. because my life would have been even more distroyed if the went to court my name and address would have been printed in the papers in my area, my familys life would have also been distoryed as even one they no, would have then known i had been arrested and what for.

I could not live with that, even if i had gone to crown court and been found NOT GUILTY many people would still not beleve it and hate us, attack us. maybe even worse.

WOULD YOU LET THAT HAPPEN TO YOUR FAMILY? NO I WOULD'ENT AND DID'ENT.

My lifes a mess but my family are safe and well :o)

But if the legal system was different and i could go to court and defend myself without worring about the public or the press. then i would have and in my thoughts i would have been cleared of the charges and be free. But im sad to say, that does not happen well not at the moment anyway.

If im not guilty, how many others are out there around the world. who are also not guilty or the crimes they have been forced to say there guilty of. to protect there loved ones? 10, 100, 1000?

I dont no, but i am guessing its a high number.

We need to look at our legal system NOW, and rethink. if there guilty them by all means let people no, but if theres any dout. then they should be protected at least until after a trial and a verdict of guilty is heard!

Well im 23 now and still have 4 years left on the sex offenders register. i trust no one anymore because what this system and the police have done to me.

I cant even look at kids now, without think "will people think im a pervert?" I cross the road if i see a kid on my side. This system has made me feeling like a sick pedo, that never ever wants to be around kids. But wait, I AM NOT! I DID NOT DO ANYTHING!

i was a normal healthy 21 year old, a girlfriend a job, and happy family life and world. Now i feel guilty all the time for something i did not do, i am v
