Re: Pronography in laptop caught by airport authority.
Actually it's not because of normal porn. He was caught with child porn! I think in SBF child porn also not acceptable right?
----------------------------------------
SEVEN video files were found on the personal computer of a Singapore Airlines (SIA) pilot who was fined A$12,000 for trying to bring child pornography into Australia, court documents showed on Wednesday.
Some of the videos contained footage of rape, sexual violence and children engaged in sexual activity, the documents said.
Captain Ng Kok Yauw, 41, a Malaysian, piloted a Singapore Airlines flight last Saturday from Singapore to Adelaide, Australia, when customs officials searched his laptop and found video clips of child pornography, Adelaide court documents seen by Reuters said.
Ng, who appeared in court on Monday, pleaded guilty to charges of importing banned material and making a false statement to a customs officer.
He could not be reached for comment but Singapore Airlines, the world's second-largest airline by market value, said the airline was conducting its own investigation.
He was the third person arrested by Australian Customs Service in less than a week, in the wake of a crackdown on attempts to bring pornography into the country.
The other two arrested are a 41-year-old Singaporean, who has been similarly charged, and Mr Ahmad Said, 23, a Malaysia Airlines (MAS) co-pilot, who was fined A$6,000.
Mr Ahmad has been suspended from flying pending an MAS inquiry. The Singaporean will be charged in an Adelaide magistrate's court on Feb 25.
The maximum sentence in Australia for offences involving child pornography is a fine of A$275,000 and 10 years imprisonment.
While it is not an offence to bring pornographic material into Australia, an Australian customs spokeswoman said it was an crime to bring in 'objectionable' or 'abhorrent' pornography into the country.
This would include materials that 'offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults', the spokeswoman said. -- REUTERS
