I understand curiosity. I do. But for things that are KNOWN to be illegal and/or despicable, isn't a written description sufficient? Each one of us on WS knows what child *advertiser censored* is and we keep those images tightly wrapped up and at bay. We deal with the crime. We don't need to see the evidence. Does anyone need to download 9 hours of images of adult rape, animal torture, stabbings, decapitations, waterboarding? Didn't think so.
Any man who is bright enough to be the director of B'nai Brith is also bright enough to be able to draw conclusions from a written description (he's a grandfather, after all, and thus would know children's anatomy, developmental stages, and reaction to pain and trauma) AND would fully understand that his actions are highly illegal. Shame. Shame. Shame.
Ruined his life????? What about the children? Read his apology carefully. Note who he's most sorry for.

'Curious' former B'nai Brith director to be sentenced over child *advertiser censored*
"MONTREAL — Bill Surkis, former Quebec regional director of B'nai Brith, downloaded close to nine hours of videos of men raping girls as young as six because he is curious by nature and likes to learn.
But Surkis, 71 and a grandfather, gave little thought to how his actions feed a booming child *advertiser censored* industry that sexually exploits young girls, a Crown prosecutor said Thursday during Surkis's sentencing hearing. As his wife looked on from the front row, Surkis told Quebec Court how the incident has ruined his life...."
and
"Surkis told the court that if his name were placed on the sex registry, he wouldn't be able to "serve his community."
He said his work would also be severely affected if he's forbidden to have a computer at home..."
