肯塔基州前警员斯沃普被追加四项重罪指控：涉持有与散布儿童性虐待材料
美国肯塔基州消息，肯塔基州总检察长 Russell Coleman 11月4日在州府 Frankfort 宣布，前 Murray 市警察局侦缉警长 Justin Swope 被追加重罪指控，涉及持有与散布儿童性虐待材料。
Swope 现年44岁，已在卡洛威县巡回法院过堂，面临两项「散布描绘未成年人性行为材料（受害人未满18岁）」指控（C级重罪）与两项「持有描绘未成年人性行为材料（受害人未满18岁）」指控（D级重罪）。法官为他设定的保释金为25万美元。
根据起诉书，Swope 持有多段视频，内容为一名身份不明的成年男子与一名12至14岁的女童发生性行为。
今年早些时候，卡洛威县大陪审团已以涉及性侵未成年人的重罪起诉 Swope。根据当时的起诉书，侵害始于2018年、受害人当时只有15岁，并持续至2021年；那段时间 Swope 受雇于 Murray 市警察局。
此案由肯塔基州警察局调查，助理总检察长 Richie Kemp 代表州方在法庭陈述案情。总检察长办公室表示，肯塔基州最高法院关于审判宣传的规定限制了该办公室可对外提供的信息。起诉书中的指控仅为指控，被告在被证明有罪之前依法推定无罪。

Former Kentucky Police Officer Swope Faces Four Additional Felony Counts Over Child Sex Abuse Material
FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman announced on November 4 that Justin Swope, a former detective sergeant with the Murray Police Department, is facing additional felony charges related to the possession and distribution of child sex abuse material.
Swope, 44, was arraigned in Calloway Circuit Court on two counts of Distribution of Matter Portraying Sexual Performance By a Minor, Victim Under 18 (Class C Felony) and two counts of Possession of Matter Portraying Sexual Performance By a Minor, Victim Under 18 (Class D Felony). A judge set his bond at $250,000.
According to the indictment, Swope had videos of an unknown adult male engaging in sexual activity with a female child between the ages of 12 and 14 years old.
Earlier this year, a Calloway County Grand Jury indicted Swope on felony charges related to sexually abusing a minor child. According to that indictment, the abuse began in 2018 when the victim was just 15 years old and continued through 2021. During that time, Swope was employed with the Murray Police Department.
The Kentucky State Police investigated the case, and Assistant Attorney General Richie Kemp presented the case on behalf of the Commonwealth. The Attorney General's Office said the Kentucky Supreme Court's rule on trial publicity limits the information it can provide publicly. The charges in an indictment are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
