Search my home and you will find porn too, as well as guns and quite a few rounds for each. The info the media reports comes from the police and they are not giving out anything that goes against their justification for the raid.

They put what he is charged with at the top of the article.

"A child pornography raid by Harris County sheriff’s deputies Wednesday......."

I am not even sure what the "terrorism task force" is. Maybe they didn't have any terrorism to work on so a child molestor got some extra attention. While I feel sure you have a porn collection to be proud of, I am going to assume it is of the adult variety and thus falls under the "who cares?" category. They won't be busting down your doors for adult porn so your hypothetical is more than highly unlikely.

A massive stash of weapons and ammunition always becomes part of the story when a person is busted for a serious felony. Most of the normal folks out there don't draw a reverse correlation and assume all gun collectors have child porn. I did think it was funny that he had a house that looked to be worth less than his gun collection and ammo stash...LOL. Unless all his guns were junkers. Hey... I wonder if he will be selling it at a discount to get attorney fees? Maybe I will give him a call and ask...LOL.

They said what he was charged with, and perhaps they have some evidence that says he has child porn, but when it mentioned what they found in his home it did not say they found child porn. It would be like a drug bust and when they talk about what the cops removed from the home all they mention is "prescription drugs, guns, ammunition" - none of which is necessarily illegal but all of which makes folks reading it go "oooh"

The cops are generally pretty careful about the info they give to the media and this time all of what they admit to taking from the home could be legal items. That's my point that can be found in many homes across the nation.

I see what your getting at now. It is strange that they didn't mention actually finding child porn but listed everything else. All of which is legal. Maybe it is a computer type child porn thing and they are waiting to see what is on the computer. Funny thing is, last time I saw a story about a child porn bust, they did mention taking a computer into custody. It will be interesting to read what comes of all this and why they thought he had child porn to begin with. Many of the child porn cases are sting operations. maybe they are not wanting to mention they are setting people up.
