A US politician who was presenting a civics lesson in front of school children accidentally projected pornography which was stored on his memory stick.

Matthew Barrett's memory stick and a computer have been taken along with Mr Barrett for questioning about the incident. Barrett said:

"I have no idea where these came from"

Where the images came from technically shouldn't matter, if the Julie Amero experience is anything to judge by. In this humble authors opinion, there is no reason why Barrett shouldn't have his life ruined for displaying pornography yo a room full of students, as Amero did.

But in Amero's case it was not her fault. In Barrett's case, and this may be too early to call, but the likelihood of him not knowing that his memory stick contained a directory full of porn seems low.
