The Hartford-Courant reports that police forcibly searched the home of a woman who operated a commercial BDSM webcam site. They confiscated her computers and other belongings in an investigation for unspecified crimes:
Deputy Chief Carl Sferrazza said the Montano Road house was searched in November and that no charges have been filed against the woman, Michelle Silva. He would not say what kind of criminal activity is being investigated. Sferrazza said investigators seized computers along with a number of other items, which he would not specify.
He said police started investigating Silva early this year after neighbors complained of suspicious activity that included lots of traffic and people often coming to the house at night. Sferrazza said neighbors also saw a number of cars with out-of-state license plates. The computers are being examined at state police forensic computer lab. Sferrazza said the outcome of that examination will determine what police do next.
Silva said she obeyed all local and state laws in running the website and said the search violated her rights.
