Accused of downloading child porn? Blame Google

keep-it-legal.png William Dalgleish, charged with downloading 16,000 "indecent images of children", is trying for a Google defense. "If companies like Google did not provide access to such sites, he would not have committed the offenses," his lawyer explained before a Scottish high court. Dalgleish's total haul? 16,535 images and videos — a total unexplained even if he were a researcher, or for that matter, a government official tasked with monitoring porn and sex crimes. Britain's own sex-offender database administrator was just accused of possessing 3,800 images himself. (Photo by pinkmoose)
