And here's a new one from today's (11/18/96) New York Times:
For complete story, see:

On Prison Computer, Files to Make Parents Shiver By Nina Bernstein
For two years, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been looking into
a computer programming and telemarketing business that is run by inmates
at a Minnesota prison after agents seized child pornography files.

The story explains how investiagtors found not just child pornography, but
a list of names, ages, personal details ("latchkey kids," "speech
difficulties," etc.) of children "most[ly] girls between 3 and 12"
alphabetized by town and coded by map coordintates.
