Police officer under suspicion: Child pornography found on a private computer!

A suspended police officer faces serious allegations after investigators discovered 13 photos and 16 videos with child pornography on his private computer. The hint came from an American organization that is looking for such perpetrators on the Internet, reports Salzburg.orf.at . The 57-year-old claims that he bought the computer and the content was probably from the previous owner, which he would never have looked at. However, experts estimated that after the purchase, the stressful files were accessed, which was treated more precisely in an extensive, 300-page report.

The judge called the evidence "contradictory and conclusive" at the beginning of the procedure, which makes the defense strategy of the accused all the more complicated. In the event of a possible conviction, the former official not only threatens a loss of his status, but also an internal disciplinary procedure. In addition, as reported, the accused would have to bear the high costs for the answer to extensive questions about the report that could amount to around 10,000 euros, reported ifsforum.de .

Investigations and legal steps

According to the findings, the negotiation could become a serious turning point for the police officer's career. The allegations not only reduce its reputation, but also throw a light on the security standards within the police authority. The legal pressure on the accused is growing, while the investigating authorities continue to continue their work in order to fully clarify the facts and to ensure victim protection.

The fact that the defense costs costs of 10,000 euros shows the financial burdens that such a procedure brings and raises the question of how well the judiciary can adjust to such offenses. The emerging discussion about dealing with such cases within the police may have considerable consequences.
