Remove hard drive and hit with a hammer. Or…
Take off and nuke it from orbit it’s the only way to be sure.
Don’t worry about it! As long as you’re not visiting the site (or others like it) regularly, or unless your browser was hijacked and you’re constantly bombarded with lewd pop-ups and/or redirected to such sites, nobody cares. It is just too easy to innocently click a link into a weird site these days or to mistype a web address and end up somewhere you’d never otherwise think of going.
Whether at home or at work, neither your boss nor the authorities care if your browser attempted to access a site like that ONCE or even twice.
Clear your cache and history just so other members in your household or on your job don’t accidently (or otherwise) access the site and then forget about it. No big deal.
I will point out that even if you win on appeal, just the arrest will likely ruin your life. Dudes tend to forget about the huge legal costs, the bail, lost wages and lost jobs, and others “costs” even of being found “not guilty”.
Yep. Just ask the thousands of men who got caught up in Operation Ore because their credit cards were stolen and used to purchase subscriptions to child porn sites. Some of them, even though they were innocent, accepted police cautions (admitting guilt and becoming registered sex offenders) rather than go through a court case and possibly end up in prison.
Thanks for mentioning that; I thought I remembered something about it, but my law books are all in storage now.
