- Len Rose Arrested Again
- by Judge Dredd
-
-
-
- I am sorry to report that Len Rose has been arrested again, and
- charged with 'computer tampering', a violation of state law here in
- Illinois.
-
- In this most recent matter, Mr. Rose had moved with his wife and
- children to the Chicago suburb of Naperville, IL. He moved here to my
- area about three weeks ago, having been promised a job by a computer
- software company. He had been on his new job one week when he was
- accused of giving inappropriate commands to the computer, accessing
- files which it is claimed were none of his business. In addition, he
- was confronted by his superiors with a copy of a memo which had been
- circulating on Usenet claiming that Mr. Rose had sold stolen equipment
- to friends of the writer of the memo.
-
- On his final day of employment, Mr. Rose was visited by federal agent
- Tim Foley, the fellow who has been involved with much of the Operation
- Sun Devil investigation since the beginning. On the advice of his
- attorney, Mr. Rose declined to speak with Mr. Foley at the time.
-
- A day or two later, federal and local officers came to Mr. Rose's new
- residence in Naperville and conducted a raid, placing him under arrest
- based on charges filed by his new employer. Mr. Rose now
- incarcerated in the DuPage County Jail, Wheaton, IL, where his bond
- was set at $50,000. Efforts by his attorney have gotten the bond
- reduced to $10,000.
-
- In the meantime, Mr. Rose's wife who speaks very little English and
- his small children are alone in Naperville, an unfamiliar community
- to them with no money and/or resources He is not without counsel
- however; his friends and attornies are aware of his current situation
- and are trying to get him out of jail and get a factual and candid
- account of what happened.
-
- As Jim Thomas points out in the current issue of Computer Underground
- Digest something very strange is going on ... I refer you to the
- current issue of CuD for more specifics on this case. If you are a
- subscriber to CuD, you should have received an issue on Saturday
- morning with this story.
-
- Was this latest turn of events a 'set up' of some kind, or a
- conspiracy against Len Rose? It seems doubtful, yet if the new charges
- against him are true, then he must be a very self-destructive
- individual. Quite honestly, I was shocked to receive this report a few
- days agp from Jim Thomas (I promised not to publish it until he did),
- and I really don't know what to think. I do feel terribly sorry for
- his wife and children at this point, alone in a strange place without
- the resources they need for survival.
-
- It should be remembered that under the Constitution of the United
- States, Mr. Rose must be presumed innocent of the latest charges
- against him until they are proven in court. PT
