Man blames cat for computer use
Share
It’s the same old story… You leave the house, spend a tough day at work, arrive home and find your cat typing furiously away on your computer – maxing out your credit card as he furiously orders catnip and furry plastic mice. After the shopping spree, the cat begins searching out child pornography.
If you ask Keith Griffin, that’s his story and he’s sticking to it. Well, at least to the “blame cat for child porn” part of the story.
Recently, Florida police received a tip that there was questionable content on a man’s computer. After seizing the system, police found over 1,000 images of child pornography.
Griffin calmly and rationally explained it all away by claiming he was a victim of his cat’s internet searches. He states that he would arrive home and find “strange material” on his computer – the result of his cat jumping up on his keyboard.
Amazingly, the judge didn’t buy the remarkable story and made it clear the man could sell movie rights after posting $250,000 in bail. We’re fairly certain that the cat didn’t hock his food bowl to bail his owner out of jail.
The cat does not currently face charges.
We recommend that if Griffin ever gets out of jail, he may want to invest in the PawSense: Prevent Cyber Pet Attacks program…
