Filesharing sicko arrested
While most of us think that using Limewire can’t get people into trouble, be warned, after Kanawha County Metro 911 was arrested thanks to some nifty police work using Limewire. The sicko, James Curtis Sorgman, has been accused of possessing indecent images of children, including his own daughter.
The offending material was located on his computer using Limewire. A police team was able to find an image and download it using the filesharing service. They were then able to trace the IP of the user and move in to arrest Sorgman.
While most of us are not criminals on the same level as Sorgman, it’s clear that there are a lot of bad people using filesharing services and giving other filesharing users a bad name. The Limewire community should not have to put up with users like this. You have to wonder how many other sickos there are sharing files over Limewire.
