It just goes to show, you really never can tell who your sharing a neighborhood with. No sooner did we get settled in the suburbs of Maryland, than we learned we’d been sharing our former neighborhood (or at least part of it) with an alleged purveyor of child pornography. Fortunately, we were already sitting down when we heard news that a D.C. man from our old stomping grounds was arrested recently for using his computer to traffic in child pornography.

According to reports, from news sources including the W.Times, Bruch Schiffer used his personal computer as a file server to advertise, transport and recieve files — including pornographic pictures of young boys, toddlers, and even infants. Police found 11,000 images on Schiffer’s computer. Accordring to the charges against him, Schiffer allegedly used an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel to advertise his willingness to send and receive such materials.

Sounds like he was a busy man, who may have wanted to be even busier.
