Police officer under suspicion: child pornography found on private computer!

A suspended police officer is facing serious charges after investigators discovered 13 photos and 16 videos of child pornography on his personal computer. The tip came from an American organization that searches for such perpetrator structures on the Internet, reports salzburg.orf.at. The 57-year-old claims that he bought the computer used and that the contents were probably from the previous owner, but he never looked at it. However, experts estimated that the incriminating files were accessed after the purchase, which was covered in more detail in a comprehensive, 300-page report.

The judge called the evidence “consistent and consistent” at the start of the trial, making the defendant’s defense strategy all the more complicated. In the event of a possible conviction, the former civil servant not only faces the loss of his status, but also internal disciplinary proceedings. In addition, as reported, the defendant would have to bear the high costs of answering extensive questions about the report himself, which could amount to around 10,000 euros, reported ifsforum.de.

Investigations and legal action

According to the findings, the trial could become a serious turning point in the police officer's career. The allegations not only tarnish his reputation, but also shed light on the safety standards within the police department. The legal pressure on the defendant is growing, while the investigating authorities continue their work to fully clarify the facts and ensure victim protection.

The fact that the defense cites costs of 10,000 euros shows the financial burden that such proceedings entail and raises the question of how well the justice system can adapt to such crimes. The emerging discussion about how to deal with such cases within the police may have significant consequences.
