Man stabs computer in alleged attempt to delete child porn

5/11/2012

A man in Florida who is being investigated on suspicion of downloading child porn took drastic, and ultimately pointless, measures to erase any incriminating evidence when feds showed up with a search warrant to take a look at his computer. Kamil Mezalka reportedly stabbed his computer with a Samurai sword as the agents raided his home, thinking that would put a quick end to the investigation. Agents took him into custody, proceeded to do a forensic analysis of the stabbed computer and reportedly found hundreds of child porn images. It just shows that, like the pen, your computer's erase utility would have been mightier than the sword.
