A former Show Low Police Department officer, Samuel Joseph Weimer, has been sentenced to 42 months in prison after pleading guilty to Possessing Child Pornography.
The 46-year-old Weimer’s prison sentence is to be followed by 20 years of supervised release.
According to the Department of Justice, between August and November of 2022, Weimer used a social media chat room to contact an individual he believed to be a father living in Pennsylvania who was willing to provide his 11-year-old daughter for sex. Weimer sent two images and one video of child pornography to this individual.
In an interview with law enforcement, Weimer admitted to possessing and sending the pornographic files. At the time of the offense, Weimer was employed as a police officer.
“The conduct of this former police officer was beyond shocking and a gross betrayal of public trust,” said FBI Phoenix Special Agent in Charge Heith Janke. “When someone in a position of authority commits such a revolting crime, the damage extends beyond the youthful victims— it shakes the very foundation of our communities’ trust. No matter their badge or title, the FBI will always aggressively pursue cases like this one.”
I hope LE grabbed up the sick father as well.
Gonna be a rough ride in the joint for an ex-cop chomo! Ouch!
Porn is literal poison to the mind. Rewires your neural pathways and makes your brain think horrible things are good.
