Man Has Child Porn Stolen From Home, Reports It To Police

KCRA:

If you have 30 CDs stolen from you, it’s perfectly understandable that you’d go to the cops. If those 30 CDs are filled with child porn, on the other hand, well, the cops are likely to be less sympathetic. It was a hard lesson learned well by Kraig Stockard (making an appropriate child-pornographer face in the accompanying mugshot), who reported the theft of the CDs from his barn in September. Only, the thieves reported him, too:

Deputies said a juvenile and a 19-year-old who broke in and stole the CDs — about 50 of them, thinking they were blank — and later brought them home. When the pair asked a family member to upload some music onto the discs, the relative popped in one of the CDs and discovered the child pornography, deputies said. The finding prompted the pair to contact the Sheriff’s Department and explain the situation, according to the news release. Deputies then checked all the stolen CDs and found more than 30 of them contained child porn images, they said.

The cops arrested Stockard and seized “three computers, three laptops and several external hard drives”; he’s apparently admitted to downloading it and is facing child pornography charges. The robbers were not arrested.

This is why I keep my porn hidden in other DVD cases, in the back left drawer of my dresser, in a bag with a lock on it, under the socks. Kraig, Kraig, Kraig. What are we thinking here, brotha? Who reports stolen CDs? Especially CDs filled with your own personal collection of kiddie porn? Sometimes you just gotta chalk one up in the loss column and move on.

But I’m not sure that’s the real story here. So let me get this straight, two thieves BREAK INTO A HOME and STEAL ITEMS but no charges are ever filed against them? Why, because they admitted it and ratted this guy out? Great message you’re sending these two teens. And who breaks into a home and steals CDs? Grab the good stuff. I’d be taking anything and everything except for what didn’t fit in the pick-up! At least they’ll know who to go to when more CDs/DVDs turn up missing in their town. Just salt in the wound for Creeper Kraig here.
