Sheriff's site replaced with hardcore porn

Florida residents looking at their sheriff's website are currently being treated to arresting images of hardcore porn.

Sheriff Charlie Aycock's office website for the Osceola County Sheriff in Kissimmee was sold from underneath him. The site now offers free lifetime access to hardcore pornography.

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Aycock said a Canadian company bought the domain name last week even though it had not been for sale.

Aycock said the Sheriff's Office had owned the domain name since 1995, and that its registration is current. "When I was told about this, I thought they were kidding," he said.

"We dug out a receipt and we're paid up through November. When we find out who's responsible for this we're going to go after them. I am not very happy that this has happened."

Aycock said he is investigating the case and that his lawyers are in contact with both the company with which the name was registered and the company that bought it.

However, officials from Domain Qwest, the company currently in charge of the domain, claim to have purchased it legally and that they can use it as they like.
