Child Pornographers Go High-Tech
Sex crimes investigators around the world will need to step up their technological know-how as child pornography becomes more mobile and difficult to detect, a veteran of Toronto police's sex crimes unit told an international conference Monday, reports The Washington Post.
"Handheld devices including cell phones, PDAs and portable MP3 players will increasingly be used to take and transfer images of child pornography<, said Det. Sgt. Paul Gillespie.
"Everything's going to be in the size of a (cellular) telephone that has the computing power of 10 of the best PCs that are out there right now. Everything's going to be portable, mobile, wireless - that's just going to pose huge challenges for law enforcement and I'm not sure what the answer is," he told The Canadian Press".
