New York Times is reporting that four Google Executives might face jail time due to criminal charges of an offensive Italian video which was posted on Google’s Italian Video site back in 2006.

The case involves a three-minute cellphone video, posted in 2006 to Google Video, in which four youths in Turin tease a boy with Down syndrome. After an Italian advocacy group complained that the video was objectionable, Google quickly removed it from the site. Prosecutors argue that the video should not have been published at all.
