No leg to stand on: A US judge has rejected arguments by a man who faces charges in an FBI probe that the search warrant the FBI used to conduct the sting was unconstitutional.

A Washington state school administrator has lost a high-profile bid to suppress evidence against him secured by the FBI during an operation in which it secretly ran one of the Internet's largest child pornography websites in order to catch its users. 

US District Judge Robert Bryan in Tacoma, Washington, on Jan 28 rejected arguments by Jay Michaud, one of 137 people facing US charges in the probe, that a search warrant that enabled the FBI to conduct the sting was unconstitutional.
