Aurora cop had hundreds of videos of child porn, Colorado Springs police say - The Denver Post

Aurora cop had hundreds of videos of child porn, Colorado Springs police say - The Denver Post

Morgan Sellman, an Aurora police sergeant arrested Friday on suspicion of possessing hundreds of videos of child pornography depicting victims as young as 2, toted some of the porn in a personal laptop that he brought to work, Colorado Springs police said in an arrest warrant.

The laptop case — obtained from his office — also contained sex toys, police said.

Sellman, 39, who coordinated the department's D.A.R.E. anti- drug program, was arrested in El Paso County and booked into jail on suspicion of sexual exploitation of a child, a Class 3 felony that carries a maximum sentence of 12 years in prison.

He was later released on a $10,000 bond, a jail official said.

There is no evidence that Sellman had illegal contact with children, Colorado Springs police spokesman Sgt. Steve Noblitt said in a news release.

The police Internet Crimes against Children Task Force began investigating Nov. 11 after receiving a tip from a Westminster police officer who found illegal material while probing a publicly accessible file-sharing network, Colorado Springs police Detective Clayton Blackwell said in an arrest affidavit.

Detectives linked some of the material to an Internet account registered to Sellman and his wife, Blackwell said.
