US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) officials meant to mend the economy during the recession spent much of their working hours surfing the internet for pornography instead.
An investigation by the SEC at the request of Senator Chuck Grassley found 31 employees of SEC spent hours on the commission's official computers looking at pornography sites over the past two and a half years, ABC News reported Friday.
Seventeen of the offenders were senior officers with salaries ranging from $100,000 to $222,000 per year.
One senior attorney at the headquarters in Washington spent up to eight hours a day accessing internet porn. When he filled all the space on his government computer with pornographic images, he downloaded more to CDs and DVDs that accumulated in boxes in his offices, the report said.
