UPDATED: Highly Decorated D.A.R.E. Cop Arrested for Running an Enormous Child Porn Ring
UPDATED: IN RESPONSE TO MEMBER COMMENTS THIS OFFICER’S NAME HAS BEEN REMOVED
Another story from the “it’s not the people on the list you need to watch:
The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program should better be called an hilarious exercise in how not to convince kids to keep away from substances the state deems illegal. As cops hopped on their high horses and had children pledge not to do drugs, the rate of drug use skyrocketed — thrusting the country into one of the worst drug epidemics in human history. The hypocrisy by the cops who pushed the D.A.R.E. program has been well-documented over the years, explaining, at least in part, as to why the program was such a failure from the start. Now, another cop who pushed kids to ‘just say no’ has been arrested and accused of disturbing criminal activity.
“XXXXX, a former longtime Beavercreek police officer, was arrested this morning on federal charges of producing, distributing, receiving, transporting and possessing child pornography,” said U.S. Attorney David M. DeVillers. “Additionally, XXXXX is charged with tampering with a witness or informant, according to the statement from the US Attorney’s office in the Southern District of Ohio.
Less than two years before this cop was arrested for running a child porn ring, Officer XXXXX received the “Law Enforcement Officer of the Year” Award. When presented with the honor, the Beavercreek police department praised him for his work with young children.

So this cop was arrested for running a child porn ring and he still got his achievement? We continue to say that our system is broken and needs fixing. How long are we going to say this? When is it going to get fixed? Regardless, I hope this cop ends up at USP Tucson and gets 100 years. He will most likely plea a deal and get 15 years, if not less.
Definitely less! Why is it this hasn’t been broadcast on the tv news but only on fac? It seem the news has stopped showing this kund of thing to the public. Is it because most sex crimes are committed by higher priorty people!. They used to broadcast alot more than now!!. Or is it the sex crime itself is being slowed down? Maybe!!.
15 years is the mandatory minimum for just ONE of his charges. A simple google search will tell you who broadcast the story, but FAC isn’t even a source, which is why it included a link.
I have mixed feelings about stories like these being shared. These stories show 1) that a person who has never been convicted or registered for a SO commit offense more frequently than registered citizens. But we also know that 2) that this man made a mistake that (statistically), he is not likely to repeat so I am concerned about including his name in the story.
We all are in disgust when of our people are only accused and arrested and get media coverage, yet we do the same. IF he is convicted, then it will be a story. Or IF he is acquitted, we can question why. His name as many of ours will forever be tarnished whether guilty or not.
IF he is found guilty, we can then claim the “it’s not the people on the list you need to watch” although we all know that’s true.
Sorry for the dissent but we can’t automatically assume one is guilty until he/she is proven guilty.
I guess instead of DAREing to keep kids off of drugs, he DARE’d kids to do something nasty on film. Sorry, I know that was kind of vulgar on my part – I’m just so fed up that I can’t help it anymore.

I’m usually fairly snarky in some of my comments mostly because of the frustration and anger I have on being required to register for the rest of my life.
But it’s articles like this where I wonder if there is some sort of psychological relevance to being around the activity (in this case, kids) which seems to create some type of feedback loop in the brain justifying the behavior in the end.
Certainly not everyone would be susceptible to this in the end, but I sort of equate it to someone working in the narcotics area, being around drugs all the time and having some sort of addiction after a period of time.
Or, how someone who speaks out so adamantly about homosexual lifestyle is just covering up their latent homosexuality… just as a couple of examples.
Maybe it’s not a well formed thought about the connection, but I am curious if there is some type of relationship between career/action and behavior like that.
Definitely not condoning the behavior, hopefully there are no more victims to come forward.
I forget where I heard this but I surely heard it many years ago and that is that LE agents who have to view CP as part of the cases they are working on must occasionally undergo some sort of test to make sure that viewing the evidence (the CP) hasn’t “corrupted” their morals. In other words- to make sure that they aren’t suddenly being sexually aroused by such images.
I hate to put it like this but it kind of reminds me of something that was said in the TV show “The Walking Dead”, when the CDC scientist whispers in Rick’s ear about what’s causing the dead to come back to life. Later on, one of the other characters asked Rick what the guy said to him. Rick responded that the scientist wasn’t sure but what he said was; “It’s in all of us”.
Well, look at the bright side.
If they ever let him out of prison, we will have a new activist to add to our rolls. And whatever part of his family does not turn their backs on him will also become activists.
They are always haters until they get caught. (Then they start singin’ a new tune.)
Oh how the mighty have fallen! (Boo Hoo!)
