>>130355714Where would we be without his extensive research into young boy's buttholes?
>>130357234i'm really interested into what exactly he was doing in the late 90s/early 00s internet. was he really just typing in "cheese pizza" into google and clicking the first links? was he joining clearnet cp forums and got into contact with a glowie? i'm not sure if the UK had anything set up to alert the authorities that far back when questionable search terms were used. maybe they did.

>>130357271Look up Operation Ore. The UK had a zero tolerance policy with cp and even just being in the same vicinity as anything even approaching a questionable site would get your IP flagged. Ironically Pete’s memoir has a lot of insightful information about the legal circumstances of the incident, whether you believe his story or not.

>>130358161>>130357271https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/822344/posts?page=10Here's an article that Pete wrote on the subject a year before he was arrested. It's actually pretty damn telling of the bigger picture.
>>130358771Don't click this by the way, absolutely vile. Reported this to the FBI as well
>>130358771>freerepublicNow that's a blast from the fucking past
>>130358771For what it's worth Pete claims he never finished the bigger expose he was planning because a) the scandal was too embarrassing and he felt stupid for bringing it on himself and he just wanted to leave it behind him, and b) he found out some other guy already wrote a comprehensive article some time earlier and he didn't think he had anything more to contribute.
>>130358897>he found out some other guy already wrote a comprehensive article some time earlier and he didn't think he had anything more to contributeA talented researcher like Pete probably ought to search academic publications for information like that first instead of just diving headfirst into buying illegal porn himself with his own credit card if he wanted to learn about illegal porn in a purely scholarly fashion
