> Nonsense! Believe it or not, prior to the existence of smart phones it was possible to convict people of abuse and rape; in fact, it happened quite regularly. The evidence against such criminals need not be on a smartphone; after all, there are the victims; there are witnesses; there is forensic evidence.

So this means it's OK to withold access to evidence, even if you are simply a private company with no legal standing? No of course it doesn't.

Please, tell me how a paedophile I know exists and uses an iPhone can be prosecuted for the contents of that device. I'm fairly sure he has taken illegal photos of children he may be abusing, but he lives in Cambodia.

What can be done?
