ABC News in the United States is quoting the Eric Devlin, the Harris County, Texas, prosecutor in a story entitled: 'Playstation Sex Crimes: Criminal Used Game to Get Girl's Nude Pictures'. The strap line to the story is: 'PlayStation Has Full Web Browser; Computer Unnecessary'.
Devlin states, "People don't realize how the PlayStation is like a regular computer", fair enough. You've got to imagine that high-powered lawyers might not know that the PS3 has a full browser. But then he decides to admit,"We didn't know how much you can do, and we're geeks".
The story relates to sicko Anthony Scott Oshea who groomed an 11-year-old Houston girl into sending him nude pictures of herself "from her PlayStation to his" and then sharing the pictures with people in five other states.
Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, points out, "Can you think of an easier setting than playing games online? These are games. These are children's games."
So, the PS3 is now used as a transmitter of evil by 'geek lawyers'...
