Somebody who makes a habit of deliberately keeping cp on his computer will soon enough find himself being ostracized by polite society and suffering other penalties for it and in 1957 crimes against children were all but unknown in the US without anybody having to be locked up for thinking about it or having pictures in their possession. This is another classic case of the cure being worse than the disease. It's like the thing Victor Borge used to say about having an uncle who'd invented the cure for which there was no disease, and who caught the cure and died.
