[eli@xnet.com: Child XXX (fwd)]

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Please pay enough attention to this to realize the problem we are
facing.  I received a solicitation via email to one of my "other"
ISP's recently, but I didn't read it until tonight.  I only use this
provider as a connection to the iternet, but I refuse to have any
internet account without shell access, since if my site goes down I
need a way to reach the, etc.

This is really GROSS!  Following the solicitation is a news article
that says I was not the only one to get this dirt.  Did any of you
other HF-ers out there get a copy in your own email?

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Authorities were trying Tuesday to determine
whether a prankster distributed a child pornography e-mail ad to
computer addresses around the world, including to San Francisco Bay
area residents.

The e-mail, sent Monday, apparently originated in the New York City
borough of Queens from an America Online subscriber.

Among the recipients were people who work for missing and abducted
children's foundations and several newspaper offices. Some of the
recipients were outraged.

"Am I liable for prosecution?" one worried Internet newsgroup user
wrote after publicly posting the letter and asking for mail from
others who received the ad.

San Francisco FBI spokesman Doug Perez said an arrest could be made as
early as Wednesday, but he would not elaborate. FBI offices in New
York, San Francisco and Baltimore were involved in the investigation.

"I'm hoping this is somebody's sick idea of a prank," said New York
City Officer Kevin Hui, who added that police were inundated with
calls from people who received the ad.

The e-mail letter asked recipients to send from $2.99 to $49.95 to
"Child Fun" in exchange for child pornographic photos, videotapes and
audio tapes. The letter also offered to trade or buy child pornography
and emphasized "action shots" of adults having sex with young
boys. Photos and tapes of girls as young as 4 and boys as young as 7
were listed.

The ad also said recipients could have their faces "morphed" onto
pornographic photos with children.

"I am a fan of child pornography and for the past 4 years, I have been
able to gather quite a collection of it. ... I send out these
advertisements to this mailing list once a week," the e-mail letter
said.

Lee Altschuler, chief of the U.S. attorney's office in San Jose, said
advertising child pornography for sale in interstate commerce is a
felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

The letter writer said the mailing list had been compiled from another
list of e-mail addresses.

America Online spokesman Andrew Graziani said that the fact that the
e-mail had an AOL return address didn't necessarily mean it originated
from AOL.
