Child Porn Defense: Blindness

Andrew Shaw, 44 is facing three charges of downloading and oogling underage child porn.

Shaw's lawyer opened with, “This is an unusual case as my client is registered blind. He has no sight in one eye and only a small amount in the other...his vision [prevents attaching] an age to images he downloads...”

The prosecutor says Shaw has been under investigation for over a year and the evidence will show Shaw is guilty of the crimes.

Despite the prosecution's prediction, Shaw was granted bail. Shaw’s next court date has not been set.
