At my last job there were several of these sketchy individuals. There was the man who kept a picture of his naked ass in a folder on the shared drive along with pictures of young women (who were not his wife). And then there was the man whom I caught watching porn in his office one day. Both of these men pale in comparison to the IT guy.
Eric smelled of ball sweat and cheap, hand rolled cigarettes. He didn't seem to shower often. He was always sweaty, his clothes never fit very well and he was constantly attempting to grow a mustache that resembled something your 13 year old nephew would be trying out. But his weirdness went way further than his lack of grooming.
He was the most anti-social, awkward man I had ever met (and I used to work for an internet technology company with software engineers so I know awkward). He didn't like music or television, instead preferring to spend all of his time on the computer. He never dated, didn't seem to have any friends and couldn't talk to a woman to save his life. His joke were bad, his knowledge of computers was minimal and in general, I felt bad for him as often as I felt squeamish of him. We immeadiately butted heads and never grew past the initial dislike. But i wasn't the only one who hated him. Most of us in the office did, for one reason or another. (blue screen of death? get more memory. computer turns french for no reason at all? get more memory. Can't print pdfs without the page printing out characters? you guessed it, you need more memory!) I was also pretty convinced he was using the company to pay for computer parts and accessorie and selling them on the black market, but his boss never took my claims seriously.
I dreaded having things go wrong with my computer because I neither trusted him or liked him. Every time he left my area I would grab the can of Lysol and try to douse the foul odor that permeated from his ill-fitting attire.
Little did I know I was Lysoling the stench of child pornography...
Redmond man charged with child porn following largest probe in history
Attorney General: Redmond man, 71 others created ‘nightmare’ on Dreamboard

A Redmond man is among 72 men charged with child pornography-related crimes following what’s been described by Justice Department officials as the largest child pornography prosecution in the nation’s history.Late last month, federal prosecutors in Seattle filed child pornography charges against Eric Karl Myszke-Francis, a Redmond man accused of sharing images of abused children over the “Dreamboard” site.
Prosecutors contend Myszke-Francis was caught sharing images and videos during a Department of Homeland Security investigation dubbed Operation Delego.
On Wednesday, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder announced the outcome of the investigation – 72 defendants charged, 52 of those under arrest.
Calling the operation the largest of its kind, Holder noted that Dreamboard members have been arrested in 14 countries.
“Dreamboard’s creators and members lived all over the world – but they allegedly were united by a disturbing belief that the sexual abuse of children is proper conduct that should not be criminalized; and some even referred to their own creation, dissemination and collection of child pornography as a ‘hobby,’” Holder said, according to a transcript of his prepared remarks.
“To put it simply, we have charged that these individuals shared a dream – to create the preeminent online community for the promotion of child sexual exploitation. But for the children they victimized, this was nothing short of a nightmare.”
The investigation into Dreamboard was launched in November 2009 after law officers investigating another child pornography bulletin board learned of the site’s existence.
Investigators raided the site the following year after obtaining search warrants and found that there were about 600 users of the Dreamboard. Among them, prosecutors contend, was Myszke-Francis.
Going by the screen name SAMSACKK, Myszke-Francis posted dozens of pornographic photos of children, according to charging documents filed July 28 in U.S. District Court at Seattle.
Prosecutors contend Myszke-Francis demanded payment from other Dreamboard users hoping to access child pornography he’d posted to the site. Myszke-Francis allegedly hoped to sell a video of a 7-to-10-year-old girl being raped by a grown man.
In addition to the pornography, investigators claim to have also obtained a graphic message exchange between Myszke-Francis and other users during which he appears to critique and describe the children being sexually abused.
Investigators identified Myszke-Francis earlier in July and searched his home on the morning of July 28. Scouring the home, investigators allegedly found several videos showing children being raped or sexually assaulted.
Jailed since his arrest on July 28, Myszke-Francis is expected in U.S. District Court on Tuesday for a preliminary hearing.
Holy crap.
Today I remembered a conversation I stumbled up him having with another coworker once. The coworker (an older gentleman, on the verge of retiring) was asking Eric about his dating life. He said he was having a hard time meeting women since he had moved to Seattle. The coworker suggested he borrow a friend's child and hit the grocery store, theorizing that women would love to meet a man who was good with kids. *Shudder*
I hope he goes to prison for a very very long time. I also hope he gets some serious counseling in prison. Another former coworker today said she hopes he gets raped by big giant...roosters...in the pen. I told her that even prisoners don't find the smell of ball sweat and child porn appealing so he will probably be pretty safe.
