Man Cleared of Child Porn Charges After Hiring Computer Forensics Expert

The recent story about Michael Fiola, a former employee of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts who was sacked for having child porn on his laptop, indicates the sheer importance of computer forensics.

State investigators found child pornography on Fiola’s computer despite him denying that he’d ever accessed such sites ever before. This led to his community shunning him, and his wife developing a stress related illness.

In order to clear his name Fiola hired a computer forensics expert, which proved to be the turning point in the case.

The computer forensic expert found that the pornography found on Fiola’s computer was due to various viruses and Trojans that had infected his computer, which allowed hackers to view the content for which Fiola was accused of accessing.

After the report was completed all charges against Mr Fiola were dropped. “The overall forensics of the laptop suggest that it had been compromised by a virus,” said Jake Wark, spokesman for Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley.

So, if you are accused of a computer related crime then remember that a computer forensics expert really can help clear your name just as Michael Fiola has discovered.
