I had to check the article because no way is someone stupid enough to share CSAM using a work email account.

Turns out "between work emails" just means he was sharing the content at the same time as he was active on his work email account. That's fucked up enough as it is, do we really need a clickbaity headline to make it sound worse?

The wording is perfectly cromulent.

Ya, you'd think.....
When I was a FedGov contractor working in cybersecuirity, we had a case come through our office of a guy downloading CSAM on his government issued laptop. I was glad I wasn't the unlucky analyst who discovered that one.

Sounds like someone needs a bullet to the neck.

RJ May, who resigned earlier this year, is accused of using the screen name “joebidennnn69” to exchange 220 different files of toddlers and young children involved in sex acts on the Kik social media network

The evidence against May included logs of his laptop and cellphone use, showing he was uploading and downloading the child sexual abuse videos at the same time he was emailing work files and making phone calls.

May also tried to keep out any evidence about whether he used a fake name to travel to Colombia three times. Prosecutors said they found videos on his laptop of him allegedly having sex on the trips.

Such a nice defender of family values and morals

Is that the same one as yesterday, or another one? I’ve lost count.
