D.C. officials are continuing their investigation and say more employees may be fired or suspended.
An internal investigation by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer revealed 20,000 hits from pornographic Web sites on the nine fired employees’ computers in 2007.
The 32 suspended employees accessed pornographic Web sites 2,000 times in 2007, the investigation found.
Of the fired employees’ estimated 200 work days a year, the investigation showed that they visited pornographic Web sites 100 times per day, Mayor Adrian Fenty says.
Employees from 18 city agencies, including the Office of the Attorney General, were accessing pornographic or sexual Web sites.
“It’s outrageous that people should access hard-core pornography, but to do it on government time…,” Nickles says. “This will not be tolerated in our government, and least of all in the Office of the Attorney General.”
