D.C. Cop Charged With Producing Child Pornography While on Duty

[green73]

WASHINGTON D.C. - A seven-year veteran of the Metropolitan Police Department has been arrested and charged with production of child pornography after allegedly photographing a naked 15-year-old girl at a D.C. apartment, while he was on duty, and in uniform. After an investigation, Officer Marc Washington was taken into custody on Monday, shortly after allegations surfaced.

According to charging documents, Washington allegedly took photos of a 15-year-old girl while conducting an investigation into a missing persons report. He allegedly went over to the girl's house in Southeast Washington on Sunday night. Authorities say the girl had previously been reported missing and Washington claimed he needed pictures of her injuries despite the fact the girl said she had not been injured. Washington allegedly coerced her into stripping down naked, claiming he needed photos for identification purposes and that it was procedure.

After Washington left the house, the girl told her mother, who then called police. According to prosecutors, Washington saw the mother's 911 call to dispatch and tried to delete the pictures but was unsuccessful in getting rid of all the evidence. He was taken into custody and law enforcement officials discovered nude images of other young girls on his digital camera.

D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said the allegations against Officer Washington are a blow to every good police officer on the force: "To learn of an allegation of this kind against a person who is sworn to protect our children, it is both shocking and disturbing."

Disturbing, yes. Shocking? Hardly.

I swear, that has to be something we can do to stop this out of control piece of shit government.




WASHINGTON — Federal investigators have identified several dozen Pentagon officials and contractors with high-level security clearances who allegedly purchased and downloaded child pornography, including an undisclosed number who used their government computers to obtain the illegal material, according to investigative reports.

D.C. officer charged with child porn confirmed dead after Potomac plunge

The D.C. police officer who was charged with taking nude photos of a runaway teen girl was pulled from the chilly waters off Hains Point and has died, the department confirmed early Wednesday.

U.S. Park Police received a 911 call at about 8:15 p.m. from a male caller that man was in the water at Hains Point, between the East Potomac River and the Washington Channel.

Police found a some clothing and parked car that was connected to Marc Washington, the patrol officer who was released from jail Monday on child pornography charges.

Dozens of police officers, a helicopter and several high-ranking officials rushed to the scene. Metropolitan Police Department rescue boat crews rescued from the roughly 48-degree waters an adult male who was taken to a hospital for treatment.

During a press conference late Tuesday, D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier would not confirm that the body was that of Washington and said investigators she did not yet know the origin of the 911 call.

“There’s a lot of speculation,” Lanier said. “Whether this was a call from someone associated with the Metropolitan Police Department, we don’t know.”

In a release early Wednesday, police confirmed the identity of the person as Washington, and said he had died at the hospital shortly after his arrival.

Park Police and D.C. police are investigating.

A fitting end. Even a police union can't bring him back from where he is.

What a sad ending to a life dedicated to serving and protecting. One little mistake and the poor man is driven to suicide by an ungrateful public.

These hero's don't get paid enough, it's a war zone out there.

...just hot air.

Well now Intoxiklown, the body is not STILL BREATHING and Tod, you must be psychic too cause EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST, well gone too. There's no air, not hot (or even warm now for that matter...)

Good call guys!

Was it really him? Even with DNA evidence IDK, it might be a cover-up in plain sight, Houdini style.
Police do protect each other, only up to a (very high) point though.
It's possible, in this rare case, they decided to re-adjust their thin grey/blue line a little more towards the water.

Didn't Stefan Molyneux also say that public shaming usually works?

Good ending for a sick eagle, dirty penny he was.
