Former Portland Cop Pleads Guilty To Child Porn

A former Portland police officer who, ironically had been in charge of registering sex offenders, has himself plead guilty to receiving child pornography.  According to the Oregonian, “Scott Edward Elliott, 50, a 22-year veteran of the Portland Police Bureau, admitted that he used the screen name “malewantsu2004” when he engaged in an Internet-based online discussion with another person who used the screen name “doraexplora111.” Elliott received at least nine images of child pornography on Sept. 11, 2009 from “doraexplora111,” according to court records. A forensic examiner found images on Elliott’s computer that depicted actual minors under the age of 18 engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Some of the files depicted prepubescent children engaged in sexually-explicit conduct, and some of the images portrayed masochistic acts, according to a plea agreement filed in U.S. District Court in Portland.”
