An officer of the Los Angeles Police Department was apprehended on charges associated with child porn distribution.
In the Long Beach Police Department’s statement, it said that 52-year-old James Diamond allegedly distributed web content associated with child molestation. The Long Beach PD’s Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce found the material thanks to a tip-off from the nonprofit NCMEC.
Last October, the task force’s detectives got a tip-off from the nonprofit about the likely online child molestation content distribution, according to the statement. In the detectives’ investigation, they gathered enough details to identify that suspect and form a probable reason for an arrest.
After setting search warrants for James Diamond’s residence and workplace, he was arrested around a Huntington Beach business. He has committed felonies of possessing child pornography as well as distributing obscene material that depicted a minor.
The Los Angeles Police Department noted that mentioned above are only preliminary details because there is an investigation underway.
The authorities concerned set $100,000 as the amount that Diamond should pay to a court of law to be released until his trial.
