Guy Leaves Child Porn-laden Phone at Bar

[greenskye]

The real question is why the man thought he would need to have access to his kiddie pr0n collection on the go. That elevates him above your 'average' pedophile. Obviously he was so addicted that he couldn't stand the idea that he might be without it for even a moment. Glad they got him off the streets, even if the bartender was nosey.

damm it i hate reading the stories after a lot of people have already read it, and have left funny comments. I have nothing to say now, am i thinking this out loud? lol

Now, why the bartender thought he'd find Klein's name or phone number in the guy's own phone, I don't know.

Smart phones using Windows Mobile have an "Owner Information" section in the "Settings" under Main Menu. My Samsung which I carry for work has my name, work address and work phone number entered into it in case someone finds it.

You can find smeones phone number on they're own phone easy ,"phone info" is in the configuration options on every phone. usually has the name of the owner in it too.

I'm not trying to defend the child porn freak but isn't that considered privacy invasion?

 

[ghazgull]

Cant trust them bartenders!

 

[Kelavarus]

... Why are people saying don't put porn on your phone? That's ridiculous. As stated in the article, most people consider phones a private space and won't be handing them out for people to paw through. So it shouldn't be found anyway.

Nor is porn itself illegal. So again, has nothing to do with putting it on your phone.

As for jerreece's step #2... Nooo... Clearly the lesson here is to not get caught. Duh.

Yes. Identical DNA yet she doesn't understand the simplest of technologies (I once got a phone call because she couldn't find the power button on her computer) and I, unlike her, am not a musical genius. Such is life.

[citation][nom]coonday[/nom]I like how the bartender looked for the guy's name and phone number in his pictures.[/citation]

Pretty sure that on a scale of one to illegal, the guy with the pictures of naked kiddies is higher up than the barman who read his text messages/peeked at his photos.

Who says he even looked in his photos? El Pedo may have had a not nice one set as his phones background.

"Apparently, Aaron Klein never knew the pleasure of having two older brothers and a twin sister around because he thought it would be a really great idea to leave his phone, child porn and all, with the bartender as collateral while he went down the road to get cash."

I can't blame the bartender for looking at the phone. He was probably curious how much he could sell the phone at the pawn shop in case the guy skipped out on his tab. Then again, Klein should be giving The Darwin Award.

Ya who cares about the bartender being nosey. That should be expected anytime you give anybody your phone. It's natural. The guy had child porn on his phone this one of those times were being nosey was actually a good thing. Who knows if this guy wasn't caught he could've molested some kid, if he hasn't already.

 

[lashton]

i vote this guy for a darwin award

 

[tanderskey]

i wonder if this guy had one of pics my own parents took of me?

i'd especially like to have returned one taken by mom where i'm standing in the tub with an improvised shower curtain cape upon my shoulders, shower head on a hose held aloft like a caveman's club and, of course, my wing ding hanging in the wind. it certainly seemed to entertain my parents ... and those guests at my highschool graduation party.

at least i had the good sense to wear goggles so was not entirely recognizable.

... if my dear old dad was still walking around with that pic in his wallet or phone ... or if that neighbor who used to smile at me, offer me candy then tousle my hair had a copy ... both would be weird, sure, but wouldnt believe an arrest warrant would be in order.

i remain suspicious of so many of these "child porn found!" articles. anyone with two brain cells can find pictures of anything and everything on the internet. good, bad or ugly. with or without pants. and i bet prosecuting "the consumers" will work about as well as it has with the war on drugs.

i wonder if its possible to both protect our kids and yet get over sensationalistic reactions to pictures of skin ... found in someone's phone.

 

[landerx74]

Yes what if the porn guy now claims that someone else put it there?

Hell' I'd likely check the guys phone out in the situaation, wouldn't you?

 

[tinnerdxp]

America.... that says it all...

 

[r3t4rd]

[citation][nom]jellico[/nom]Now that's a scary thought. However, unless the bartender has a certain set skills (which, if he does... why is he working as a bartender?), it would be easy to tell the photos were added by someone other than the phone's owner.[/citation]
Because of all the drunk women (and men for some of you) you can take home every night.

She's not her clone she's her sister. That doesn't give her any writing skills. And, anyway, this is online news, not TV. For all we know, Jane might have an underpaid chinese intern doing her stories!

[citation][nom]esquire468[/nom]Well, where are you supposed to keep it then? Please tell us![/citation]

I will tell you for him. On your desktop, laptop, external HD, flash drives, and other storage mediums. I thought people around here were tech savvy? You embarrass us with such inane remarks.

I doubt if there will be a legal issue since it was willfully given to the bar tender who is not a public employee. There may be questions of whether the bar tender uploaded the photos, but they can access the file data. It is also probable cause for a search warrant where they may now find even more on his home computers. Sucks to be him.

Castrate the bitch. All crimes against children should be considered a capital offense, and since so many states have outlawed the death penalty then castration is the only viable option.
