I've done it once: the MD insisted that I spent a day looking at all the pron on an employee's computer - soon to be ex employee - who I'd found out was spending several work hours a day surfing NSFW sites. On dial up fer gawds sake! He wanted to know if there was anything involving children - worst working day of my entire life, and not one I ever want to repeat, despite thankfully finding nothing illegal.
The employee went from General Manager on a good salary to night shift shelf stacker in a supermarket (pron during work hours wasn't the only thing he was doing, and his wife found out some of the ... um ... others.
I feel for the poor sods who do that every day: not a good job at all.

As long as CP never becomes NSFW, I'm in the clear. Sorry to hear that you had to do that. I think that I to would rather spend the day chasing spammers, answering the same programming questions over and over again, and lazying about in the Lounge then that.

At a small company I was working for, the owner and president of the company (my direct boss; I was theoretically a director), bought himself all the latest greatest toys and passed on his old equipment down the line. As a result I got his one year old laptop. I then found out he didn't understand how the Recycle Bin worked. He thought he had cleared everything off and I was quite shocked and disgusted when I found the images still sitting on the disk.
I deleted everything properly, wiped the disk and re-installed the O/S from the original media. They were so bad I was thinking of calling the police/FBI on him but then I realised that, in my haste to get rid of the filth, I had just obliterated all the evidence I had! On top of that, if he had been arrested I, and 58 other people would have lost our jobs (and some of us our work visas).
About ten months later he fled the country with the FBI and the IRS in hot pursuit! Good riddance to bad rubbish, I said! He was a terrible boss but paid well above the norm (to keep people who would put up with his tantrums, etc.). The company closed down and we all lost our jobs anyway. Luckily I had just got my Green Card so I could get another job without having to leave the US, although as a "director" level it took five months and moving to a different State to do it, even then only getting 60% of what I had been earning.

I find your decision wrong. I would have told authorities. I am confident that I can find a job and make a living for me and family. Even if I had to be jobless for a while I would. Why? Because I think he was probably one step away for doing these wicked things if not there already.

My first reaction was to delete the stuff, get rid of it. After that, I had no evidence and would have had to leave the country after losing my job! I also had all the other employees to think about.

If iut wasnt illegal was it that disgusting?

Picture yourself spending a day in the office doing nothing but looking at hardcore. Never knowing if the next one you opened would be seriously nasty. Or if someone would glance over your shoulder and see what you were looking at and assume you were goofing off with pron.
Yes. It was disgusting.

I once had to "take over" the computer of an employee who spent most of his time drunk.
In the previous three months he'd downloaded some very expensive, stolen software (for running music sturdios), and rearranged about ten lines of code in one file. And I do mean rearrange. That was his entire contribution to the company for those 90 days (and thank God since they guy was a terrible developer, even when sober. He had, however, soon after I arrived drive home the point of never slip-streaming just DLLs/SharedObjects onto a server, by doing just that and crashing it.)

As there are actually people who enjoy that horror why not employ some of those caught to do that job. They are already corrupted and are now in state control, make let them troll through the stuff that would turn a normal persons stomach.
I am assuming you cannot actually rehabilitate the worst offenders so why not use them as a resource.

I don't know about that. Someone would interpret it as rewarding them for being sick and depraved.

I see it as a mental illness.
I had to write a pervy character, the once, and it took me a Hell of an effort to find the mind-set that allowed me to make him real.
I had to all but break my mind to do it. It's simply not natural to look at children and have sexual thoughts; the genetic imperative is to protect and nurture them, so that they can grow and procreate themselves, extending the lifespan of the species.
I was in a sh1tty mood for weeks, after I handed it in. Peace of mind was not possible; I was best avoided.
Even thinking back to it now, I'm getting the same, sh1tty, nasty feelings.
Pass me a troll. I feel like biting someone's head off.

There was an article in the insider recently (couple of weeks/months ago) about two Microsoft employees who sued Microsoft.
They were tasked with something similar and they were now suing as it had scarred them for life and they did not get proper counseling to deal with their emotions.
Microsoft denied the allegations and said they have plenty of people to adequately support the job.
I don't know how much is true, but such a job does something to you (unless you're a psychopath I guess).

A friend of mine recently had a nap, and then went out to try to buy a candle. They told him they were out of stock.
Which just goes to show: there's no wick for the rested.
