Cohen under investigation for child pornography

Multiple sources say that Democratic Assemblyman Neil Cohen is under investigation by state authorities over allegations that he had child pornography on his legislative office computer.

According to the sources, Cohen has reportedly checked into a nearby psychiatric facility and has not yet been arrested.

Meanwhile, the Star-Ledger reports that authorities were tipped off by fellow Union County legislators Ray Lesniak and Joseph Cryan.

Why do politicians do this? Don't they realize that their work computers are public property?

It's probably because this kind of thing is a hardwired, likely unbreakable addiction.  Like a crack fiend, but with underaged sex.

It's been noted that Lesniak and Cryan were probably eager to turn him in because it was a computer located in a joint legislative office.  (Kudos for them for not even considering a cover up.)

     It would only make sense. Wouldn't want Federal investigators checking them out too if someday, some random computer technician randomly happens upon it.

Depends.  How many politicians do you think downloaded your contributions to the "Post a Picture" thread, my underage little Democrat?

Hehe, good question. *Squirms around* That's actually really disturbing.
