Google Sends You to Prison for Child Porn

Don't search for child porn on Google!

Google is known as the best search engine in the world with the largest database, multiple users saying that it can find anything on the internet, no matter where it is stored. Because Google can really find anything, the company decided to filter its content and to block several keywords that can return you pornography-related websites. Some time ago, the company decided to block certain words such as slut and a**hole, but some internet users found a workaround and they were still able to search for free pornography using Google.

It seems like Google
tries to block all the searchable pornography content from the search engine's database because multiple online publications reported today that a former teacher who was looking for pictures with naked girls on Google was sent to prison. Louis Herbert Jezard, 59, searched Google for "Lolita", "nude virgins" and "ped" and then saved 26 girl images into a temporary folder on his computer.

"Judge Tony Skoien said Jezard, who was arrested in May last year after a tip-off, told police he was a teacher, and had been researching pedophilia on the internet.
He said he thought there were fewer male teachers these days because of the fear of paedophilia and he searched the internet to define the term and he was looking for evidence that males had sexual relationships with children and didn't find any," Judge Skoien said, reading from the police record of interview according to The Australian.

"In sentencing him to four months' jail wholly suspended, and imposing a $2500 good behaviour bond, Judge Skoien said Jezard had already been severely punished by the shame of his arrest and prosecution. Defence barrister Sean Barry said Jezard had not worked as a teacher for four years, and had spent most of his working life as a furniture manufacturer at Home Hill, in far north Queensland," The Australian also added.

So, Google wants to block all porn sites on the internet that are currently indexed by its search engine. Even if the company tries to avoid all federal problems that concern pornography, don't forget that Google had a lot of lawsuits caused by the adult content published on its YouTube service.
