Mayor quarantines city worker's computers in child porn case

The computers used by a top city transportation official who is slated to be arraigned on child pornography charges this morning have been quarantined by the mayor, officials say.

There is no evidence that Transportation Department employee James Mansfield was using city computers inappropriately, but officials have secured his City Hall computer ?as a precaution? said Mayor Thomas M. Menino?s spokeswoman Dot Joyce.

City officials are conducting their own investigations into two allegations Mansfield was in possession of child pornography and engaged in inappropriate conduct in chat rooms, including whether any of the alleged conduct occurred during work hours, Joyce said.

Mansfield, 47, was arrested Friday on kiddie porn charges. He is slated to be arraigned in Charlestown District Court this morning.

The allegations against Mansfield, a city employee for nearly three decades, have rocked City Hall as well as this tight-knit Charlestown neighborhood.

Menino attended a community meeting in Charlestown yesterday that was called to discuss the charges against Mansfield.
