They are among society’s most trusted and revered: police officers, firefighters and nurses. The very people sworn to uphold the law and keep people safe are now accused of committing crimes beyond comprehension, ABC News has learned.
Federal agents and prosecutors in and around New York City are prepared to announce several dozen arrests, including police officers, firefighters, nurses, a rabbi, a youth baseball coach and Boy Scout leader, all of whom are accused of creating and distributing child pornography, a senior law enforcement official told ABC News.
Agents found these suspects on peer-to-peer file sharing networks, sources say. The agents seized hard drives and devices that are expected to lead to even more suspects and more charges.
