High-profile child-porn conviction

Then-teenager Justin Berry wasn’t Ken Gourlay’s only victim, but it was Justin who first accused him. Gourlay was convicted last Friday of enticing and molesting a minor and distributing child pornography over the Internet, among other charges, the Associated Press reports. “Gourlay was one of several men arrested on charges involving child pornography after Berry began working with the Justice Department. One of them, Gregory Mitchel, pleaded guilty last year and was sentenced to 150 years in prison. Berry’s testimony before Congress came after his case was highlighted by the New York Times” in December 2005 (see “Kids & Webcams”). The AP adds that “prosecutors say Berry, who now is an adult, was lured to Ann Arbor from California in 2002 to attend a computer camp and was molested by Gourlay.”
