Child porn suspects leave a ‘footprint’

ACCESSING information from the internet always leaves a trace and trail, even after deletion by the recipient.

The route is circuitous and at each stage there is data available to the authorities who wish to investigate any illegal activity.

The Irish citizens who accessed this abominable material on child pornography are criminals of the most evil sort and the ‘digital footprints’ are still there.

The person who used a particular machine may be hard to pinpoint, but the narrowed-down location is not. Even at this late stage the information from Interpol is still very much valid and, in the virtual world, will always remain so.
