LOS ANGELES – ASACP has announced that Tim Henning has been promoted to vice president Technology and Forensic Research.
Henning was the first staff member of ASACP in 1996, working as a Forensic Investigator for the CP Reporting Hotline. Tim has a degree in Computer Science and he worked as a webmaster. It is because of his expertise and the data from its Hotline that both ASACP and the industry have proof that the professional adult entertainment industry is not involved in child pornography. Henning continually increases his role in the international child protection community. His efforts have helped law enforcement convict criminals involved in child pornography and he has been slated as an expert witness in several cases because of his expertise.
Henning is responsible for overseeing the development of ASACP’s technical infrastructure including the CP reporting hotline, ASACP’s membership monitoring program, and last but not least the very successful and award winning Restricted to Adults – RTA label There are more than 11 million pages labeled with RTA and more than 10 billion hits daily to pages labeled with RTA. Henning facilitates the ASACP Technical Taskforce which collaborates on potential future technologies to determine what ASACP needs to develop to protect children. Currently this Taskforce is adapting RTA for use on mobile APPS.
He represents ASACP at the Financial Coalition Against Child Pornography; other participants include Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, international banking and law enforcement. He is a member of the Analytics and Technology Challenges Working Groups. He attends various technology conferences including the Internet Safety Technical Task Force and the Congressional Internet Caucus State of the Net annual meetings.
“I am pleased to announce Tim Henning’s promotion to Vice President – Technology and Forensic Research,” said ASACP CEO Joan Irvine. “ASACP and what it has grown into today, exists only because of Tim and his technical expertise, his dedication to child protection, ASACP, and his continual ‘can do” personality. Tim is the driving force behind anything technical at ASACP. He keeps himself educated on cutting edge technology. Tim is like having our own CSI and Research teams. He analizes the need and the available technology to determine if proposed projects will help protect children and fits within ASACP’s mission. If outside resources are needed, he finds volunteers to help accomplish his project. Since he is so well known and respected by the technology side of the industry, people are more than willing to help him plus they know it will be a learning experience for them, too. Tim is truly the Point Person and the heart of ASACP. ASACP is very lucky to have Tim as part of its team and to spearhead its online child protection technology.”
