Jason Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 He also would have been left off the hook if he'd just stopped sharing kiddie porn. Quote Anthony Mark Brown, 57, was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. A 27-year member of the Long Beach Police Department, Brown initially caught a break when a colleague called him in May 2020 and told him an account associated with his phone number had been used to upload child porn to the Internet but that he would not face charges. “The detective told the defendant that the investigation would be closed, but that if the detective received another complaint related to defendant, both cases would be presented for felony filing consideration,” according to a sentencing memorandum from Assistant U.S. Attorney Kathrynne Seiden of the Central District of California. “Defendant did not question why the detective was calling him and affirmed that he understood.” An Ex-California Cop Blamed His Child Porn Conviction on Post-George Floyd 'Public Animus' Toward the Police. A Judge Didn't Buy It. LAWANDCRIME.COM A former police officer said "public animus" toward law enforcement and post-traumatic stress disorder led him to child pornography.

Ghost_MH Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Quote The Long Beach Post reported the detective “only learned Brown was an LBPD officer after hanging up and looking him up in a law enforcement database.” A police spokesman declined to explain beyond saying the detective’s directive was “consistent with historical investigative best practices at the time,” according to the Post. Brown didn’t leave the force until after he was arrested in February 2021. I call bullshit. So they're saying they normally find people trading CP, call them up, and tell them to stop? That's normal procedure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
