    "If there ever is a case against Jim Cameron, I think it's going to be a textbook example of how you can get stuff on your hard drive you don't know is there. James Cameron has never knowingly possessed child pornography. He doesn't like child pornography. He hasn't solicited it and I don't think any investigation would ever show that."—Cameron's attorney Peter RodwayKennebec Journal: Attorney for fired prosecutor calls porn allegations bogus (May 3, 2008)
