A deputy Los Angeles city attorney was arrested at his home on Thursday on
multiple charges of child pornography, according to the Los Angeles Times.
LAPD spokeswoman and Officer Liliana Peciado told the Times that Christopher
Richard Garcia, 57, was booked on suspicion of possessing and distributing
child pornography. Garcia posted $40,000 bail shortly after the arrest,
court records show.
Garcia had apparently been under investigation since November, according to
city attorney spokesman Rob Wilcox.
"When our office became aware of these allegations 10 months ago, Mr. Garcia
was immediately placed on administrative leave, where he remains today,"
Wilcox told the Times. "We cannot comment further on this ongoing criminal
matter."
Officer Preciado explained that authorities executed a search warrant at
Garcia's house in November, where they found "some questionable images"
after conducting a forensic search on one of Garcia's computers. According
to the Times, Garcia is charged with sending or bringing obscene material
into the state for sale and possession of material depicting minors engaged
in sexual conduct.
The report notes that Garcia is listed as an attorney for the Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX) and previously worked with the U.S. Attorney's
office and a joint electronic crimes task force. |
