WHITE PLAINS (NY) – A federal court jury Tuesday found a Tarrytown police officer guilty of receipt and distribution of child pornography, possession of child pornography, and possession of an illegal, unregistered fully automatic submachine gun.

He will be sentenced next January.

i hope he serves the sentences consecutively. what a scumbag. i can rationalize a lot of behavior, good or bad; sexualizing children is not one of those behaviors.

He is going to make one hell of a bride. Bubba has a new play toy.

He will be in solitary so he will have to play with himself

[raevan]

Most of those charges are state jurisdiction, the Machine gun is a Federal.
He can be trieds both in civil court and Federal. If convicted in a Federal court he is "toast on the barby" for some time.

If not solitary, definitely protective custody. He's got 2 strikes against him going into prison. 1. He had child porn.2.He was a cop.

Bend over

Why? Did he drop something?

Why? Did he drop something?

I think he may be using soap on a rope, tied to his ankles or maybe just powdered soap.

1+2=3. He's done.

[mulle46]

+1, Sixto. I wouldn't want to go into prison for any reason after being a LEO, but it would be worse if you had any type of offense involving children, as even criminals have a hierarchy and anything involving children is at the bottom.

There have been a few situations very similar to this brought to light over the past month and a half. Others involve misappropriations of funds or personal use of evidence taken in drug raids, and the like. I've heard of some committing suicide before having to face the music. LEO's are subject to the same evils and human weaknesses found the world over. It's just ten times as bad when they are found out. It's also a crushing blow to those who place somewhat of a trust and esteem for the LE positions, and it tends to make a whole lot more of them look bad as a whole compared to any civilian having perpetrated similar crimes vs. humanity. I think deep down, we can all pretty much figure the odds of this one's survival in prison long term. I think justice will be done.
