Police send principals child porn
November 25, 2004
A COMPUTER glitch resulted in police sending school principals "grossly pornographic" images of girls as young as four.
The error occurred as New South Wales police tried to identify abused children featured in images seized from a man in the Hunter Valley a week ago.
The images were edited by a detective to show only the faces of the four girls involved, and emailed to 1800 school principals late yesterday in the hope some would recognise the children.
But incompatible software on some Education Department-issued computers revealed the original, unedited images.
Assistant Commissioner Graeme Morgan said the images were "grossly pornographic" and featured girls aged between four and their early teens.

at first, I thought perhaps they were trying to figure out if principals were pedophiles.... gah!
