the reason it is fascinating is because it started out as a documentary on something else and then the porn charges happened in the middle of filming and the family gradually fell apart.

Unique circumstances for a documentary maker. They didnt strike me as too strange, more a typical American middle class and very mundane family.

As for evidence-the FBI are possibly more corrupt than British police.

it's been a long time since I watched it.

From memory there was obviously porn in the house but who did it belong to? Laws in the US are very vicious for child porn.

my FBI comment was more a general one but they are unbelievably ruthless and have a habit of setting people up.

I'm going to track the film down on the net and watch again and report back. As I said..as a documentary it was great film making.
