US exec held for pornographic viewing, circulating

HYDERABAD: A United States citizen has been arrested by the cyber crime wing of Telangana police for allegedly viewing and circulating videos and images with pornographic content involving children. James Kirk Jones, 42, who worked as the vice-president of a multinational law firm, reportedly confirmed that he began viewing child pornography since he was a child himself. He was arrested after police received an input from the Interpol about an IP address from which child pornography was being shared. "The IP address was traced to the house of the accused at Madhapur. His premises were immediately searched... police seized a laptop containing 29,288 items of child pornography," the police said in a release. Before his arrest, police kept a watch on his house to check if he was physically abusing children, "but no such activity was noticed," a source said.
