Jack Ray Sowards
FORT WORTH — The Tarrant County D.A. charged Jack Ray Sowards with promotion of child pornography Tuesday. Sowards surrendered to authorities Jan. 8, was released on $10,000 bail, and remains free. Sowards told police he viewed kiddie porn at work because his dial-up Internet connection at home was too slow.

"Sowards told police he viewed kiddie porn at work because his dial-up Internet connection at home was too slow."
So that was an excuse or just a statement of fact??

Obviously he didn't make a cost-benefit assessment before watching chillun porn at work. $10k is at least 15 years worth of high speed intertron at home.
Just sayin'.

I like this guy's tactics on how to get rid of a computer - cut some wires inside the case, throw hard drive into lake, donate now useless computer to goodwill.

Proof again that indecency the other of incarceration.
FOLLOW-UP: This man's internet provider has apologized that "his dial up home service made him use an office computer". They have offered him a free month 'to assure a valuable cutomer's continued use of our product'.

Error message. Should have read: Old maxim: "Indecency is the Mother of incarceration?".
FOLLOW-UP: This man's internet provider has apologized that "his dial up home service made him feel necessary to use an office computer". They have offered him a free month 'to assure a valuable customer's continued use of our product'. Unconfirmed: Customer is said to be en route to Thailand calling the D.A. accusation 'child's play'.
