Not all individuals who are charged with crimes by the government are guilty. Rarely does the "system" intentionally arrest and charge an innocent person but false allegations by vindictive spouses, business partners, angry family members, or others with a motive to make false allegations are sometimes made. Also, sometimes a person just finds themselves in the wrong circumstances which at first appearance make them look guilty.

Brent Horst has provided expert commentary for National media

In the past several years we have seen a very large increase in the number of cases the government is prosecuting for the transportation, receipt, and possession of child pornography. Anyone who thinks that just looking at a few photographs on the computer is no big deal is very mistaken and playing with fire. This is a very serious crime. It does not matter that an offender has no prior record, or that he did not take the original picture or video, or that he never sexually abused a child himself.¹
