John Kroger appears woefully unqualified to comment on the possibilities of  potential "accidental" viewing. As a 15 year software engineer I can say it would not be difficult to create a trojan which downloads *thousands* of images to your computer, as well as faking forensic trails of searches, all without the user having any idea this was going on. It is far from a "myth", as Mr. Kroger put it, that malicious websites can frame a person in this way. I'm glad you now have him on record assuring the public that there will never be a wrongful conviction as a result of such framing, because we can play that back to him when it ultimately and inevitably happens.

I'm not saying viewing child porn is okay, but if merely having some images and search traces on your computer is going to be enough to a conviction, an innocent person is eventually going to be put in jail.
