Some Pentagon employees found with child **** still working: report

"Dozens" of Pentagon employees with high-level security clearance have been identified as downloading child pornography, and some of them appear to still be working for the US government, according to an investigative report.
The Boston Globe obtained a report from the Department of Defense chronicling cases of child pornography downloading by Pentagon employees going back to 2002. While the report did not state how many employees were found with the illicit material, the Globe reported it counted at least 30 cases.
That represents a "small percentage" of the Pentagon's massive staff, but it's a concern nonetheless because it puts the Pentagon “at risk of blackmail, bribery, and threats, especially since these individuals typically have access to military installations,’’ the report stated.
"Some of the individuals have been prosecuted and other cases have been dropped, while more have languished several years without resolution," the Globe stated.
Among the cases "without resolution" is one of a contractor working for the National Reconnaissance Office who admitted in a 2008 security interview to regularly watching child ****. As of the time of the report's publication at the end of last year, the contractor had been "transferred to an agency field office in New Mexico and had not been charged."
