More details are coming to light in the case of a Baltimore City prosecutor charged with possessing and sharing child pornography.
Officers this week arrested 39-year-old Patrick Moran, a Baltimore City Assistant State's Attorney assigned to the juvenile division.
"Fortunately in this case, there's been no evidence to indicate that he's involved in the actual production of child pornography," Cpl. John Wachter of the Baltimore County Police Department said.
According to charging documents, Moran described trading images online of children posing naked or having sex as "fantasy and he spoke of chatrooms entitled "incest or "pedo".
In addition to images found on various computers in the house, Moran pointed investigators to a digital storage card that held images of children ranging in age from three to 16.
Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby issued a statement saying, "any allegation of wrongdoing or criminal activity by one of our own is extremely troubling."
She went on to say that "when these allegations involve our most vulnerable constituents, such as children, it makes it all the more despicable and disheartening."
