Grand Junction Man Accused In Child Porn Case

16. December 2006, 11:23 Uhradmin

According to Gensler’s arrest affidavit obtained by the Grand Junction Sentinel, his downloads were first flagged during May 2005 by the FBI’s Innocent Images Unit, which tracks the traffic in child pornography over peer-to-peer networks.

The FBI said that some videos on the computer showed adults engaging in sex acts with children as young as 1 year old.

Gensler told agents he found the images by searching for “under age” in the Limewire software, according to the arrest affidavit.

Gensler is not accused of abusing any of the children himself. He is due back in court on Dec. 19.

The Innocent Images Unit recently expanded to include investigations involving all areas of the Internet and online services, including:

Internet Web sites that post child pornography
Internet news groups
Internet relay chat (IRC) Channels
File servers (“FServes”)
Online groups and organizations (eGroups)
Peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing programs
Bulletin board systems (BBSs)

Free Limewire / P2P

A peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network relies primarily on the computing power and bandwidth of the participants in the network rather than concentrating it in a relatively low number of servers. P2P networks are typically used for connecting nodes via largely ad hoc connections. Such networks are useful for many purposes. Sharing content files (see file sharing) containing audio, video, data or anything in digital format is very common, and realtime data, such as telephony traffic, is also passed using P2P technology.A pure peer-to-peer network does not have the notion of clients or servers, but only equal peer nodes that simultaneously function as both "clients" and "servers" to the other nodes on the network. This model of network arrangement differs from the client-server model where communication is usually to and from a central server. A typical example for a non peer-to-peer file transfer is an FTP server where the client and server programs are quite distinct, and the clients initiate the download.
