Kamil Mezalka Stabs Computer With Samurai Sword In Child Porn Raid

Authorities in Florida are saying a 21-year-old man stabbed his computer with a samurai sword to thwart federal agents who were raiding his home on suspicion that he had been downloading child porn.

What Kamil Mezalka apparently didn't realize is that stabbing a computer doesn't delete files.

Agents allegedly uncovered hundreds of images depicting children on the Palm Coast man's computer on Tuesday, the Daytona Beach News-Journal reported.

The federal government obtained a search warrant after tracking Mezalka's downloading activity over the Internet. Agents made their way into the house and found Mezalka in his underwear with his hands up. He allegedly retreated into the room containing his computer and shut the door.

Agents followed him and saw him run his sharp samurai sword through the console of his computer -- but the stabbing apparently did nothing to damage the files, The Miami Herald reported.

Mezalka reportedly said he was attracted to teenage girls and "might have" downloaded pornography showing girls 13 years old and younger, according to an affidavit obtained by the News-Journal. He faces 20 years in federal prison if convicted of child pornography charges.

Mezalka and his sword were in the news in April, when he reportedly armed himself to save his mother from an attack by his step father, according to Central Florida News 13.

The step father, Zbigniew Supinski, was arrested and charged with domestic battery. Mezalka did not stab Supinski and was not charged.

Sweet, this guy is double famous, and both times a samurai sword was involved. Maybe a third story can happen, where he performs ritual suicide using the sword.

Fool, that he didn't have a large magnet on hand. Try that next time someone gets you mad...Place it next to the hard drive, works like a charm, takes out everything, programs, files,And even that nasty virus you couldn't get out of the system.

If you possess a large magnet with the intention of quickly wiping out your files.... You're probably a pedophile

Like the thought, but the magnet is still foolproof. That is what "writes" the hard drive in the first place.

If he felt threatened by his computer he could argue self defense under Flordias stand your ground laws though it may have been better all around for him to have shot the thing instead.

With the time he faces (20 years) and those kind of charges, he better bring his Samurai
Sword to prison with him...he's going to need it there!

Being tech savvy I'm not sure what annoys me more, that he downloaded child porn or that he thought he could stab his computer to quickly get rid of the evidence. Either way it’s good he’s been caught.

I've never understood these people that go online and download child porn, knowing they are being watched. And those dumb ones that talk to people online, thinking they are little girls and go and try to meet them for sex. Never made any sense to me, and you are very stupid if you do both of these things.

The Internet, where men are men, women are men, and children are the F.B.I. Big brother is watching you.

best comment i've read all morning....f&f'd. last night i was in a chatango chat room...i generally don't visit them, but as i live overseas, i like being able to talk to some of my friends there. now, i know most of the users that go to this site...a small community. but last evening a guy shows up, asks me if the photo i use is really a picture of me, laughs, says: how old are you, 17, 18? (to which i replied: why, are you worried about chris hansen showing up in your living room? btw, i'm in my mid twenties) and tells me: very unwise. next thing i know he's posted my address in the chat room....thank god he lives half way across the world, but i've since deleted almost every online profile i have. as much as i value the internet for its finer points, i've entirely opted out of anything to do with social media as a result of things like this....

Florida again?

As for cleansing the computer, you need to cut into its belly (case) and rip out its heart (hard drive) and expose it to the cleansing aura of the Stone-that-Faces the Norstar (magnet).

I would like to thank the citizen of Florida for keeping the crime section on the huffington post interesting.
