Dark secrets and ugly truths

With IT's unfettered access to both professional and personal data, should "follow your conscience" be part of the job description?

It still weighs heavily on Bryan's mind, what he found on that executive's computer, especially when he thinks of his own daughters. He's particularly troubled that the man he discovered using a company computer to view pornography of Asian women and of children was subsequently promoted and moved to China to run a manufacturing plant.

In the case of finding paedophile material on someone's PC, I wouldn't bother with Management, I'd report it to the police straight away.

Did you read about that guy a few months ago in the States that a guy was caught for looking at child xrated material due to his temp internet files. He was let off because he didnt know those files were there. To be an offense the person in that state must know there are illegal files on the computer.
