Judge Ronald C. Kline:
Child Pornography/Child Molestation Case Suppressed by Court
Archive of articles relating to Orange County (California) Superior Court Judge Ronald C. Kline's arrest on child pornography and child molestation charges. The courts were kind to the judge: The child molestation charges were dropped because of a statue of limitations ruling, and the child pornography charges were suppressed because of an "illegal search" ruling based on the role of the computer hacker informant in the case.
