Child porn lands government worker behind bars

OTTAWA — An Ottawa civil servant will spend two years in jail after facing child porn-related offences.

According to the Ottawa Sun, Mahlon Inksetter, 51, used marijuana and child pornography to build “a morbid detachment from reality.”

Inksetter is an information technology specialist at the Canada Revenue Agency.

He was found to have more than 133,000 images and 3,000 videos on his computer that qualified as child pornography.

Justice Peter Doody also imposed a three-year probation term, during which the Ottawa Police Service will have the right to search any of Inksetter’s electronic devices for child porn.

Defense lawyer Paolo Giancaterino says his client expects to lose his government job.
