http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/01/school-cop-inve.html
 
 In the goofiest waste of law enforcement time we've seen in weeks, an
on-campus police officer for a Florida middle school is facing a
criminal investigation over his MySpace account.  Why? It turns out one
of the people on his friends list had a link on his or her profile to an
internet porn site. 

Or, as the St. Peterburg Times puts it
<http://www.sptimes.com/2008/01/24/Pasco/Links_leave_cop_red_f.shtml> ,
"kids could navigate from Officer John's page on the social networking
site to 'Amateur Match Free Sex' in just three clicks."


You're reading correctly. Gulf Middle School resource officer John
Nohejl didn't have porn on his MySpace profile
<http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friend
id=281487566> , and he didn't link to porn. But one of the 170-odd
people on his friends list, which seems mostly populated by students at
his school, had a link to a legal adult site. Now the New Port Richey
Police Department and the Florida attorney general's elite cyber crimes
unit are investigating him for making adult content  available to
underage children.

I've blogged about it here:
