Rafeedie sentenced the first-time offender to five years probation and nine months of home detention. The judge said that information would compromise crime-fighting by detailing secret investigative tactics. Like all convicted sex offenders, he will have to register as a sex offender in any state where he works or resides. He is prohibited from communicating with children under 18 except in the presence of another adult. Naughton writes Big Brother surveillance software for the Feds to track other perverts online and he gets a fine that equals maybe one month's income for Naughton.
Justice is truly blind.
Oh, maybe he doesn't go to chat rooms looking for little children who will have sex with him, but he can obviously sympathyze with Naughton. After reading the affidavit, it is very clear that Naughton was intent on meeting with a child for sexual relations. Naughton also said that there were sexually explicit images on the laptop. The Affidavit is located HERE and is strongly recommended reading.
