Department Head Visited 24,000 Porno Sites
“No statement on the employment status of the City of Fond du Lac department head who allegedly viewed sexually explicit material on his office computer in 2003 and 2004 is expected until early this week… a two-year log file from the Management Information Services department showed visits by the employee to 24,000 sexually explicit Internet sites, including some that featured children younger than 10 years of age. ‘It was pages and pages — sometimes four to six hours per day,’ Schmal said. ‘I randomly opened one. It’s voyeuristic. It would make you sick…’ After reviewing some of the content, police determined the material did not meet the criteria for criminal prosecution and turned the matter back to the city to be handled as an internal personnel issue. Disciplinary action was taken at that time.” —The Fond du Lac Reporter (US)
“Gosh,” you’ve probably thought to yourself, “I work my ass off and all my boss seems to do is grumble at me once a day. I don’t think he does anything but eat donuts and surf the web.” And if your boss is anything like this porn-obsessed department head, you may be right. Just think of it. Suppose that, over a period of two years, he worked five days a week for fifty weeks a year — that’s 250 days a year, or 500 days for two years. To visit 24,000 porn sites during that period would require him to visit 48 sites a day — and that’s apparently not including the amount of times he revisited sites he liked. Who has that much time to spend jerking off at work? Talk about your cushy jobs. A few more prominent instances of this and employers will probably reorganize their offices so that nobody has a private space anymore. It’s the panopticon principle: if you work in plain sight then you can’t sit and jerk off all day.
There are two other brief points to remark about this story as well. First, the guy’s IT department was actually monitoring his web usage. If you work in a corporate or government office and you tell yourself, “Oh, heck, they don’t actually keep track of my web browsing,” you might want to think again. Anything you do on a computer is trackable. Second, you can’t help but wonder if the perp in question had some good connections. It’s not illegal to visit porno sites at work, so there was nothing to prosecute from that angle. But they had logs of the guy visiting kiddie-porn sites and the police decided not to pursue it? Given what a hot-button issue child pornography is, nepotism can be the only answer. The department head must know the judge.
“must know the judge”
read it again: “…police determined the material did not meet the criteria for criminal prosecution and turned the matter back to the city to be handled as an internal personnel issue.”
Police determined…. & if the police had decided to make a charge, they would have turned it over to the DA–who might have let it go–or decided to prosecute…. The judge wouldn’t have anything to do with this case until it had pass through several layers of the criminal justice system
