"BY JIM DOOLEY - Simon Jasper McCarty, a British citizen who has been held without bail here for more than three years on child pornography charges, is finally scheduled to go on trial next month, but there are still questions about whether prosecutors will be able to present the most damning evidence against him.
That evidence is more than 60 videos depicting McCarty having sex with pre-pubescent boys in the United Kingdom and Nepal, according to federal court records. McCarty reportedly helped operate an orphanage in Nepal.
The videos were stored on a computer external hard drive packed inside McCarty’s luggage that was seized by law enforcement agents after he was initially detained at the airport in Hilo Aug. 5, 2008.
Lengthy delays in the case to date have been caused by a continuing court dispute over the legality of searches of McCarty’s bags and the seizure of what was found in his luggage."
