DALLAS (1080 KRLD)- A disgraced, former Dallas cop could wind up in prison for 20-years for downloading and distributing sadistic child pornography.
Daniel Collins, 35, a former senior corporal with the Dallas Police Department, stood before a US Magistrate and admitted he had used his Google account to download disturbing pictures of children committing sexual acts. Collins also said he shared the pictures.
Last month, Collins was snared by Google when it not only noticed the illegal pictures, some showing children performing sadistic acts, but that Collins had used a city internet site to conduct the download.
Collins resigned earlier this week. The maximum penalty for the charge is 20-years in prison. Collins will be sentenced in January.
