The man was recently sentenced to three years and six months in prison for, among other things, aggravated child pornography, aggravated sexual assault of a child, and offensive photography.

A report was filed against him in June of this year, but it took two and a half months before he was arrested. In the meantime, he committed further crimes, including filming a child in a toilet and producing hundreds of child pornography images.

Reports of misconduct should be handled by special investigations, an independent part of the police.
