Len Rose Arrested Again
|
|
by Judge Dredd
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am sorry to report that Len Rose has been arrested again, and
|
|
charged with 'computer tampering', a violation of state law here in
|
|
Illinois.
|
|
|
|
In this most recent matter, Mr. Rose had moved with his wife and
|
|
children to the Chicago suburb of Naperville, IL. He moved here to my
|
|
area about three weeks ago, having been promised a job by a computer
|
|
software company. He had been on his new job one week when he was
|
|
accused of giving inappropriate commands to the computer, accessing
|
|
files which it is claimed were none of his business. In addition, he
|
|
was confronted by his superiors with a copy of a memo which had been
|
|
circulating on Usenet claiming that Mr. Rose had sold stolen equipment
|
|
to friends of the writer of the memo.
|
|
|
|
On his final day of employment, Mr. Rose was visited by federal agent
|
|
Tim Foley, the fellow who has been involved with much of the Operation
|
|
Sun Devil investigation since the beginning. On the advice of his
|
|
attorney, Mr. Rose declined to speak with Mr. Foley at the time.
|
|
|
|
A day or two later, federal and local officers came to Mr. Rose's new
|
|
residence in Naperville and conducted a raid, placing him under arrest
|
|
based on charges filed by his new employer. Mr. Rose now
|
|
incarcerated in the DuPage County Jail, Wheaton, IL, where his bond
|
|
was set at $50,000. Efforts by his attorney have gotten the bond
|
|
reduced to $10,000.
|
|
|
|
In the meantime, Mr. Rose's wife who speaks very little English and
|
|
his small children are alone in Naperville, an unfamiliar community
|
|
to them with no money and/or resources He is not without counsel
|
|
however; his friends and attornies are aware of his current situation
|
|
and are trying to get him out of jail and get a factual and candid
|
|
account of what happened.
|
|
|
|
As Jim Thomas points out in the current issue of Computer Underground
|
|
Digest something very strange is going on ... I refer you to the
|
|
current issue of CuD for more specifics on this case. If you are a
|
|
subscriber to CuD, you should have received an issue on Saturday
|
|
morning with this story.
|
|
|
|
Was this latest turn of events a 'set up' of some kind, or a
|
|
conspiracy against Len Rose? It seems doubtful, yet if the new charges
|
|
against him are true, then he must be a very self-destructive
|
|
individual. Quite honestly, I was shocked to receive this report a few
|
|
days agp from Jim Thomas (I promised not to publish it until he did),
|
|
and I really don't know what to think. I do feel terribly sorry for
|
|
his wife and children at this point, alone in a strange place without
|
|
the resources they need for survival.
|
|
|
|
It should be remembered that under the Constitution of the United
|
|
States, Mr. Rose must be presumed innocent of the latest charges
|
|
against him until they are proven in court. PT
