Scholar admits child porn ( by cheah hock seng)

Summary
A SINGAPOREAN student on a teaching scholarship at the University of York in Britain has pleaded guilty to downloading indecent videos of children.
Jonathan Wong, 23, who was once in the gifted education programme at Hwa Chong Institution, was caught after undergraduates became suspicious of files on the university's intranet and told the authorities, said The York Press newspaper.
The files were traced to him and police raided his home on the university's Heslington campus.
They took away his laptop and hard drive, where they found 50 videos of hardcore child pornography, some of which were graphic, had audio, or lasted more than an hour.
They also featured girls as young as six, Mr Martin Butterworth, from the Crown Prosecution Service, told magistrates in York on Wednesday. He described the videos as 'quite serious offences'.
Wong, said to have few friends at York, where he was studying history on a Ministry of Education (MOE) scholarship, pleaded guilty to 17 charges of downloading child pornography between July 15, 2008, and March 19 this year

Why i choose this article
I choose this article because he is also an singaporean which is the same as me and also he is one of the gifted student in Singapore. This article shocked me when i found out he was caught with child pornography

Question I have to ask
I would like to ask Johnathan why he want to do such a thing. I find it normal to watch pornography but not child-pornograhy. I would also like to ask what is his plan now after this incident had happen.

If i were to in charge of this situation

 I would send johnathan to counselling and hope he will change for a better person. Of course he must be punish  for his act but not too heavily because he did not killed anyone and harm anybody, he is just watching pornography.
