Every now and then, I get a search referral that isn't exactly a "screen capture of a perv" doing a search for illegal images, stories or other online stuff. Sometimes, what I end up getting is in the from of a question. I like to be helpful and answer these questions when I can. Today, a question came in that I feel really should be answered- because I have this odd feeling that this situation isn't happening just to one person, and so it may be beneficial to post the answer for others too.The question, "what action should be taken after discovering child pornography e-mail to my husband" is simple to answer.
First, do NOT delete the email. It's evidence of illegal activities.
Turn off your computer. Call your local sheriff, and have them come out to investigate, due to the nature of the crime- it's more than likely that they will have to take your computer. Or, if you are handy with the computer and know how- completely unplug your computer and load it up in your car- and then take it into your local sheriffs office.
I wouldn't bother telling the husband that you found his illegal porn. Mainly because he's likely to attempt to delete it, or do something worse.
I would seriously suggest that you see a lawyer, and file for divorce, and custody of any children you may have.
