Not if he was sending her texts from a comapny issued cellphone which my understanding was that he was.

No, because that's not pornographic. But again, if he's using company property for personal use, that is usually frowned upon.

My example was about using company property to discuss breaking the law or acting improperly and the company firing an employee because of that. How about this as an example: a cop texts his girlfriend on his company provided phone that the next black guy he sees, he's pulling over and making his life hell. According to you, he should not be reprimanded because he was talking to his girlfriend?
