'Kitty' Porn: Keith Griffin claimed his cat was responsible for the more than 1,000 child pornographic images found on his computer, authorities said. He said his cat accidentally downloaded the images when it jumped on the computer keyboard. Police did not believe him, however, and the Florida man was charged Wednesday with 10 counts of possession of child pornography.

According to a sheriff's report Friday, Griffin told investigators that his cat jumped on the computer keyboard while he was downloading music. He said he had left the room and found "strange things" on his computer when he returned.
Griffin is being held on $250,000 bond in the Martin County jail. It is unclear if he has an attorney.
