I work with The Julie Group, a group of IT'rs, teachers, lawyers and journalists that formed to help reverse the conviction of Julie Amero, a substitute teacher who was caught in an un-winnable situation in Connecticut facing 40 years for a porn-storm on someone else's computer, that has been since overturned. (The Julie Group and State v Amero - A Miscarriage of Justice?)

Since then the group that worked on the case has decided to stay together to help others who are wrongly convicted by a legal system that has failed to keep up with the times and technology.

There's a case we may take on, and I am trying to do some advance research on. An underage male who claims to have unintentionally received illegal porn via limewire. The local police are trying to try him as an adult.

I've searched the sight for over an hour now looking for "log files" and "logging" so thought I'd put this question out for your help. For now, based on the description of a family computer used by novices, I feel it's safe to assume it's a version of Windows using default installation.

Does LimeWire log the get/puts of files? Either on the client machine, or in a central repository?

Would there be anyway to show if a file was put on the server by an outside party?

Is there a way to identify mal-ware additions of Limewire that might give an outsider greater rights to your computer?

I very much appreciate and input y'all have. We have forensic techs that could use your input to gain a better understanding of what to look for.
