Fla. man blames cat for downloading child porn

[Mountain Crown]

[quote author=Chicago Tribune]JENSEN BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Florida investigators say a man accused of downloading child pornography is blaming his cat.

Keith Griffin of Jensen Beach is charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography after detectives found more than 1,000 images on his home computer.

According to a sheriff's report Friday, Griffin told investigators that his cat jumped on the computer keyboard while he was downloading music. He said he had left the room and found "strange things" on his computer when he returned.

Griffin is being held on $250,000 bond in the Martin County jail. It is unclear if he has an attorney.

You know I sometimes wonder where they come up with these hair-brained excuses but then I remember, if they had any sense they wouldn't have done it to begin with!

My cat jumps also a lot on the keyboard but such things like those never happened to me :D

This is the kind of thing that just drives you mad, as if cats didn't already have a bad enough reputation, now this one is dling child porn. It just goes to show you, you can't even trust your pets.

He probably would have been better off claiming his cat *MADE* him do it and go for an insanity plea.

Yeah, it certainly would have been more believable...We cat owners know that cats don't do anything for themselves, they get us to do it! And, they are good at it...
