A U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission employee doesn’t want the public to know who he is or what disciplinary action may have been taken against him for viewing pornography on the job.
He filed a motion under seal this week in U.S. District Court in Denver using the name John Doe. It asks a federal judge to deny a request to have his personnel records exposed.
The motion moves the SEC scandal from Washington to Colorado and follows criticism that high-ranking lawyers for the agency missed the financial crisis and ignored the crimes of investment adviser Bernard Madoff partly because they were busy surfing for pornography on the Internet at work.
