Fox hack netted in kiddie porn sting

Distributed material on secret P2P network

A Fox News hack has been arrested after police monitored a secret paedophile P2P network and found him offering child porn.

Aaron Bruns, 29, who covered Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign for the right wing cable network, is now facing child porn charges. Photos and videos on his computer showed children under the age of 10 being sexually abused by adult men and women.

He was arrested after a Pennsylvania state police investigator conducted "pro-active undercover investigations" on a secret peer-to-peer network and found Bruns acting as a distributor.

Bruns' last story was about Clinton and Joseph Biden delivering farewell speeches on the Senate floor.

According to Smoking Gun, Bruns is unlikely to play the "I am a journalist hunting for paedophiles" defence in court.  It is the second time he has been arrested for possessing child porn. He admitted running a similar network in 1999 when he was at college. Then, the porn was found on his computer when police raided his University of Michigan dorm room.

Despite its love of stories about internet porn and paedophiles, Fox News has been surprisingly quiet about this particular collar. X
