The Bakersfield.com website has this report ont he arrest of a Bakersfield Police officer snared in a chld porn sting.  This is from the report by Jason Kotowski:

"A Bakersfield police officer who admitted to engaging in online chats describing rape and murder fantasies involving children was arrested by the FBI Friday on a criminal complaint alleging possession and receipt of child pornography, detectives said in the criminal complaint.Christopher Kent Bowersox, 38, was removed from duty and placed on administrative leave when the allegations first surfaced, and he resigned earlier this week, a Bakersfield Police Department news release said. Bowersox had been a detective in the department and worked there since 2002."

[. . . ]On Nov. 6, 2009, Bakersfield police served a search warrant at Bowersox's residence, according to the criminal complaint. Two computers and two external hard drives were seized as evidence, and detectives found digital images and digital video containing child pornography, the complaint filed in federal court saidThere were also five digital images of what appeared to be surveillance photographs of students on the Bakersfield High School campus, the criminal complaint said.

Detectives interviewed Bowersox, who told them he had a Yahoo! account with the username 'cbowersox' and he used the name 'Colby' as his identity on the Internet, the criminal complaint said. It also says Bowersox 'reluctantly described' sharing fantasies with others in online chat rooms about 'things between men and boys and violence between men and boys.'"

I made the claim, last week that even law enforcemnt get caught in this crime.  I knew I would be able to show you anecdotal evidence (I see news accounts regularly) without looking very hard.  This story came in the ordinary course of looking at local websites, not a search.
