Be Careful What You Watch
Posted on 4 February 2010 by Stenberg-Tendys W.L. in Society
When a bank employee decided to watch porn during office hours, he had no idea he was being watched by millions.
Now investment bankers and other business people are uniting in an effort to save the job of the stockbroker with Macquarie Private Wealth, David Kiely, who was watching supermodel Miranda Kerr during a live Channel 7 interview.
Not only did Kiely get busted, he has become an overnight star. The video clip went viral on YouTube.
Kiely is now sitting at home awaiting his fate, as he meets with bank executives.
Rumours are rife that Kiely was set up by another employee who sent him the saucy email, knowing it would be opened while the cameras were rolling.
Who is the criminal in this situation? The man who deliberately sent the material; the man who publicly viewed the material; or the television station that broadcast the material? Perhaps all three are culpable of breaking the law on pornographic viewing?
A woman boarded a crowded bus in Hong Kong, to discover the man in front of her was openly watching a pornographic video. She was concerned as there were several school students also on the bus, all of whom would have been able to see the video.
Lianhe Wanbao made enquires at the police station, as to whether public viewing of such videos was a chargeable offense. She was told that anyone found in possession of pornographic material can face a fine of up to $20,000. Those who distribute or screen such videos can face a fine of up to $40,000, a jail sentence of up to 6 months, or both.
She was told that members of the public should alert the police of such incidents and appropriate action would be taken.
