What’s in a name?

Todays T&G has a bit on one Kelly Hoose who had charges of possessing child pornography against him, dropped Dec. 19 in Worcester Superior Court. Justice served and all that, end of story. Except there is an interesting side note that didn’t seem to make the paper. Hoose was apparently in possession of pics of Melissa Bertsch, a Dr. Christine Barron determined that some of those pics constituted child pornography. Bertsch never worked in porn as a minor, so this would be a mistake on the part of the good Doctor. It happens.

But how can it happen? A quick google search reveals a similar case played out involving pics of Bertsch in Belfast 18 months ago, does a Doctor trained in forensic pediatrics not know how to use google? This story reads like Hoose was trying to report child porn and ended up getting busted for it; maybe he is a dirt bag, but if not, thats a pretty big hit to ones reputation. Especially if a simple google search could have saved the courts, Hoose and Bertsch the trouble.

    Hello

    I liked your column. The main points not to miss:

    Pictures have a website site address, alsscan.com and a (c) copyright.

    Even if you think it’s a child porn picture it is not child porn unless it really has a child in it.

    If you went to the case, both cops, the two involded stated they where not the investing officer on the case.
