Re: Didn't know videos of child abuse was illegal

yet he was still doing the TOR thing.

Just playing the Devil's Advocate here, but separate from the knowledge that the videos were illegal, if he was looking for them online then an anonymous network such as TOR is the only place he was going to find them. Or to put it another way, you can't buy crack at the corner store - you *have* to go to a drug dealer.

That said, I don't buy his excuse for one second. It's 2017 and he's on the Internet. How could he *possibly* NOT know that child porn is illegal?
