Timothy DeFoggi, Former HHS IT Security Chief, Convicted Of Child Porn

The man the Obama administration tapped to head Information Technology (IT)  security at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) was convicted yesterday, Aug. 26, of seven counts relating to internet child porn and faces a long prison stretch.

Timothy DeFoggi, 56, was found guilty by a Nebraska jury of engaging in a child exploitation enterprise, conspiracy to advertise and distribute child pornography, and accessing a computer with intent to view child pornography, all federal charges.

DeFoggi registered for a child porn website operated by Aaron McGrath, 31, on March 2, 2012, and remained a active member until Dec. 8, 2012 when the site was taken down by the FBI, according to a statement from the Department of Justice.

McGrath has since been convicted of charges related to running it and is serving a 20-year sentence.

DeFoggi’s name was on an HHS flowchart from 2013 given to Congress to determine appropriations for 2014.

Maybe if Obama would take things a bit more seriously, we wouldn’t end up with perverts running computer security.

Where do these guys come from anyway and how to they end up in influential positions?

Didn’t see anything in today’s Philadelphia Inquirer, by the way, concerning this rather important story.
