Tech-Savvy Texas Judge Cracks Down on Sex Offenders



SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - A Texas judge has deployed special screening software 
to stop convicted sex offenders from surfing Internet pornography sites.

Judge Sam Katz of San Antonio, who handles sex offenses in the Bexar County District 
Court, said on Thursday that three paroled offenders have been sent back to jail after 
software he ordered them to install on their computers alerted probation officers that 
they were trying to view online pornography in defiance of his orders.

``All three of them decided to violate the terms and conditions of their probation and 
they accessed a pornographic site,'' Katz said. ``I should say, they tried to access 
it, because as soon as they tried, the service provider stopped them.''

In addition to denying them access to pornographic sites, the software also sent out 
e-mail messages to probation officers.

``Seventy percent of all initial contacts now between sexual deviants and children 
occur on the Internet,'' Katz said.
