The 46-year-old congressman stated that he had online contact with a 17-year-old girl but said there was nothing inappropriate or salacious about it. Police visited the home of the girl and interviewed her and her parents. They also confiscated her computer. Generally, authorities do not confiscate a computer or hard-drives unless they have reason to believe that digital forensic evidence exists that would indicate a crime had been committed. We will have to wait and see. In the meantime, it is likely that more and more revelations will emerge concerning the online activities of this very publicly visible figure.
Today, the heat continues to be turned up on the congressman as The House Democratic leader, Nancy Pelosi, called on Weiner to resign citing the growing concern among Democrats that his online exchanges with women had become a distraction for the party.
The need for anonymity, especially in a case where a minor is involved remains a valuable and necessary tool of a civilized society. The ability to remain anonymous for ones protection or to be able to communicate by sending an anonymous email or anonymous letter is a fundamental right of all American citizens.

Very interesting blog. A lot of blogs I see these days don't really provide anything that attract others, but I'm most definitely interested in this one. Just thought that I would post and let you know.
