COMPUTER NOE-NO

 

Busted Thursday on kiddie porn charges: Matthew Noe, 21, son of Don Noe, WPLG-ABC 10's chief meteorologist.

 

Thirteen ''images of child pornography were found'' on Matthew Noe's personal Presario, the arrest report says.

 

Miami-Dade police won't say how they got into the case. In April, authorities served a search warrant at the Noe family home in Southwest Miami-Dade and seized the computer.

 

Says Noe's attorney Neal Sonnett: ``Matt clicked on a link on a file-sharing service that turned out to be child pornography. Once you click and download an image, the FBI can trace it to your computer.''

 

Noe downloaded the images from LimeWire, a file-sharing program that allows users to download files that other users agree to share.

 

LimeWire exec Meghan Formel says the network is decentralized and does not control what people share. ''It's up to the users.'' The company does not condone child porn, she adds. ``We cooperate with the authorities when they contact us.''

 

LimeWire's website posts a Federal Trade Commission warning: ''File-sharing can have a number of risks . . . . You may unwittingly download pornography labeled as something else. '' It also offers instructions for excluding porn from a file search.

 

Noe told police he downloaded an ''estimated 30 images'' of ``girls between the ages of 10 and 17.''

 

Says Sonnett: ``Curiosity on the part of a young man. The real tragedy is that photographs or images that are deemed to be illegal are so easy to get on the Internet.''

 

Noe attends Miami Dade College and works part time at Publix. He hopes to be a sports writer, his dad says.

 

The senior Noe says he and wife Betty, a community activist, are ''very much troubled and distraught'' by the situation.

 

Noe is out on $10,000 bond. Prosecutor: Kristen Rosenthal. Arraignment is Sept. 29 before Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Mary Barzee.

What is going on down here with the meteorologists and their families?

 

I can see it now....."Brian Norcross busted trying to pick-up male prostitute". :plain

wow

Mabye he'll share a cell with Bill Kamal?

Don't forget about Roland Steadman. I though Bill Kamal was bad, but then I found out that Roland was Mormon. To think I get my weather from him for so many to later find out such a horrible thing about him.

I think it was Thom Johnson who was fired from channel 7 for getting in a fist fight with another meteorologist at channel 7.

Again my hard work exposes the sickos of the television community in South Florida. My work is not over yet.

They should show this story on local ABC news.

 

"In other news, the son of weatherman Don Noe has been arrested on charges of child pronography. Now to Don Noe for the weather."

you talk about a scaretactic. If the FBI can trace pictures to an individial computer, Limewires users should really take a good look at their music collections. What would be really interesting would be to see whether or not he was caught because he was sharing the files. If the RIAA had any FBI like power it would be back to CD's for millions.

I don't think this is a big deal at all. It is very likely that the porn was mislabeled and he wasn't infact trying to look at 10 year old girls (but maybe he didn't mind the 17 year old ones).
