Former sex crimes officer facing 100 child porn charges told Tampa police he did not have internet access
Not for the purposes of shaming the individual, but solely for the purpose of illustrating that even those responsible for protecting children (in this case a former Florida sex crimes officer) can be a perpetrator. Add that profession to the list, along with teachers and politicians.
Remember, this individual does not represent all in law enforcement, the overwhelming majority of which will not offend. Similarly, recidivists do not represent all on the registry, the overwhelming majority of which will not re-offend.
“….did not have internet access”?? Oh, so the images were mailed to him?? Old fashioned U. S. Mail? 🙄
Well, I hope that he gets good counseling. With the Republicans pushing for stricter sentences for CP, I wonder how this man’s case will play out.
So, I wonder if some of those “stories” that they found were “scripts”. for when he was doing sting operations?
Good point JoeM. I also wonder if this was a setup somehow. I served federal time with two different guys who had exwives download cp in the house then file for divorce after the arrests and both wives got sole custody of the kids. Setups do happen. Don’t know if this was one but they do happen
Seems that those who profess such repugnance and outrage to something are often involved in the very thing they demonize publicly.
I think that they should stop doing on-line stings and creating criminals with fantasy conversations with nonexistent “victims” and simply concentrate on every LEO and politician who is actively using the registry as a political tool or diversion.
Plenty of them just like this fine individual illustrates so vividly!
I wonder if this is what ol Ron and Lauren had in mind when they talk about water boarding and fingernail pulling the bad people. One of their own doing what they despise.. Phuk those 2 terrible hypocritical people, I hope they both die and burn in hell!
Does anyone know if this is a state or federal case? It reads like a state case, but the feds love to make headlines like this.
Did you get home detention?This cop was very well connected. Keep googling

No normal human being gets home detention for child pornography in the federal system. This guy was facing 46 to 57 months under the sentencing guidelines. More discussion can be found at

In today’s day and age, everyone has access to the internet. You don’t need to have a router or modem in your home, or even a laptop. All you need is a smartphone, and even without a data plan, you can still access the internet by connecting to public wifi which is available almost everywhere. McDonalds, Burger King, bars, bowling alleys, and even some public parks offer free wifi to their guests.
I doubt his defense will hold water.
He isn’t lying now about not having the internet connection. Grady Judd’s Judge that was arrested, numerous other LEO’S, all subject to the vices of man, or conspiracies of man.
But prosecuted as severely as the rest of us. I seriously doubt it!
Seeing how he worked in a sex crime department, he technically wouldn’t need internet access, as he has access to that stuff anyways.
Anyone who has done time can remember someone talking crap like that officer. The guy that gave an absolute ridiculous excuse for why he was incarcerated. Inside, no one will believe him. But, he may not make it there. Cronyism may give him probation, no registry, and perhaps a transfer to another dept. Only if enough have to go through lifetime probation, (the registry) , will change happen for us. Once they realize, they are us. Different degrees, but still us.

We Shall See, If Convicted, If This Person Gets a Similar Punishment To Those Others That Committed Like Offenses….
Why is it that Practically ALL Judges are More Lenient on People Like Him and People Like Whiskey Blue?
