20-year-old Ian Hartney could be the world's dumbest pedophile. He was having problems with his laptop, so he brought it to a store near his Newport News, Virginia home for repair. Technicians were forced to copy his hard drive, then reinstall the material to fix it...

But when Hartney got the computer back, he noticed that some of his pictures were missing. So he called the store again, asking a tech to search for photos he'd hidden on his hard drive. (You can see his Facebook page here.)

That's when the tech noticed that those photos were of child porn. She called the cops.

When police raided his house, they found computers, cameras and cell phones that contained an impressive trove of child porn. It seems Hartney preferred his porn to be of the homemade variety. Police found photos of some 25 different girls.

Detectives were able to trace down one local girl who'd begun to have sex with Hartney when she was just 15. She helped the cops identify six other girls in the pictures. The cops are still trying to track down the other girls.

Hartney's been charged with producing, receiving and possessing child pornography.
