Two Mich. men were arrested last week for using the Internet to commit child sexual abuse, state Atty Gen. Mike Cox (R) said Mon. Investigators arrested 28-year-old Michael Phillips and 53-year-old James Johnson. Phillips was charged with a single count of child sexually abusive activity and one count of using a computer to commit a crime, both 20-year felonies. Johnson was charged with 2 counts of child sexually abusive activity, 2 counts of using a computer to commit a crime and 5 counts of using a computer to disseminate sexually explicit material to children, which could carry a prison sentence of 4 years, officials said. Both men are scheduled for preliminary hearings on Wed. In other news, Cox warned consumers 911 service isn’t guaranteed through VoIP technology. “If the advertising, brochure, or other marketing materials are silent on this issue, it is likely that 911 is not being provided,” Cox said. He said VoIP firms that have basic 911 service might lack other features, including: (1) Automatic caller location identification. (2) Routing through emergency lines. (3) Automatic activation of 911 service, rather than manual setup. Cox encouraged VoIP users to check providers’ websites for 911 details and to buy backup power supplies to retain VoIP service in blackouts.
