Can a computer virus leave you with kiddie porn?
Could your computer become a hacker's storage vault for child porn, unbeknownst to you? Some say it can happen, and has. One Plainfield man facing child pornography charges thinks it happened to him.
Kevin F. Plachta, 45, of 16125 Vintage Drive in Plainfield, said he may have inadvertently downloaded a computer virus, or was the victim of a hacker, but he didn't knowingly download child porn.
About a year ago, the FBI seized his household computers, saying they had reason to believe there was child porn on one of them, Plachta said. They took three computers and eventually returned two, he said. The FBI refused to return the third because they said there were questionable images on it, Plachta said.
