Abstract: |
The Enhanced Complexity Model (ECM) developed previously has been further extended to produce a Motivationally Enhanced Complexity Model (MECM) which enables the degree of motivation, capability and opportunity of a hypothetical Trojan Horse author to be included in quantifying the relative plausibility of competing explanations for the existence of uncontested digital evidence. This new model has been applied to the case of the Trojan Horse defence (THD) against the possession of child pornography. Our results demonstrate that the THD in this case cannot be plausibly sustained unless it can be shown that an ‘off-the-shelf’ (OTS) Trojan Horse for this task is available and it is not detectable by the target computer, at the material time. |
