someone hacked my wifi?

We are in big trouble, about 2 days ago we were chilling at my house when we heard the police knocking in our door saying they had a warrant. I told them to slide it and when I read it I couldnt believe. It was because we were tracked down as some who they said was downloading child porn and uploading it. I open the door and they took my brother under arrest since the computer is on his room and the user name matched his. We have an old computer probably about 6 years old with an old wireless router. It's secured with ( wep ) ? it always ask for password. I know my brother would never do such thing. He is in jail now waiting for his bail to be posted. we are trying to get 10k to get him out since bail was at 100k... I think someone was using our wifi some how... what can we do? we are panicking... :(

    WEP can be cracked.

    It's possible you were hacked, or someone who knew the password wasn't telling you how they were using it. If the police took the equipment, they could check the logs if it isn't so ancient that it doesn't have logs. You should talk to your lawyer about this.

    For starters, they should be arresting the person responsible for your internet connection/account. The computer being in someone's room and having a particular user name is not grounds for arrest. You can only be charged for having kid-porn ON your computer, not using the same internet connection as someone who has it on their's.

    Of course, this is based on my incredibly basic knowledge of the law here, in South Africa...

    I may be wrong.
