Health Workers in Iroquois County Allegedly Used Computers for Porn and Facebook

A computer forensics report presented Wednesday to the Iroquois County Board alleges that key employees of the former Ford-Iroquois Public Health Department misused taxpayer money and used their computers extensively for private purposes, including pornography.

The report was presented by Andrew R. Garrett, of Garrett Discovery Inc., a firm “specializing in digital investigations and computer forensics.” He said the investigation was done at the request of Iroquois County Board Chairman Rod Copas at no cost to the county. The report is the type “used to make a recommendation and is not indicative of a forensic report produced for court,” the document states.

It was presented at Copas’ last meeting and the first one to be audio and video recorded for replay on the county’s website.
