Child porn accused tell of ordeal – news.bbc.co.uk: Simon Bunce was one of 7,000 people whose credit cards had been used to buy pornography from an American website called Landslide.
And in May 2004, he turned up at his local police station in Hampshire to be told he was a suspected paedophile.
“I was absolutely devastated – I couldn’t believe it,” he says.
Simon was convinced he had been a victim of credit card fraud and set out to prove it. And after a six-month investigation, the police found nothing on his computers or at his home.

The police would not listen to reason, “They closed their minds absolutely to the possibility that this man’s credit card had been used illegally by a fraudster”.

John has said many times that credit card companies could do more to prevent fraud, but they just aren’t interested in doing it. How would you feel if the police wrongly accused you of being a paedophile?
