Police arrest teen for obscene Web site

By Associated Press, 01/13/01

SALEM, N.H. -- Salem police have arrested a teen they say created several obscene Web sites that mocked the Salem Police Department.

Christopher Hemmah, 19, was arrested Thursday night after a month-long investigation. He is charged with misuse of computer system information, a felony.

In Hemmah's home, police say they found seven computers and how-to books on computer hacking.

One of the obscene Web sites took information from the Salem Police Benevolent Association site and parodied it by changing words and downloading pictures from the site, police said. A second site mentioned the department and had random pornographic pictures attached to it, they said.
