The dark side of the World Wide Web can make otherwise law-abiding men delve into the seedy world of pornography and denial, former motivational speaker Michael Fortino said in his book."The anonymity of the Internet tears down inhibitions and causes people to do things that they wouldn't," Fortino said in "E-mergency" -- a 2000 paperback about the perils of the Internet. "For example, did you know that your Web browser will record every Web site you've been to?"
Fortino, 47, of Observatory Hill, might have done well to heed his own warnings.
On Friday, a federal judge in Arkansas sentenced Fortino to 20 years in prison -- the maximum -- for possessing child pornography derived by secretly filming his friends' children undressing aboard his yacht on Lake Erie. An original sentence of 11 years, ordered last week, was vacated when the judge learned Fortino supplied three fake letters from people requesting leniency on his behalf.
