Ari David Levie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2005, Ari David Levie was convicted of taking illegal photographs of a nude 9-year-old girl, and the presence of PGP encryption software on his computer was used as evidence of criminal intent.
Levie appealed the ruling but the Minnesota appeals court ruled 3-0 in favor of the trial-judge's ruling that the presence of such encryption software on a computer may be viewed as evidence of criminal intent.
