Orange County California Pisses Away Tax Dollars On 4 Month Investigation After UCI Police Employee Scott Cornelius And Another Takes Pictures Of Children Playing Water Polo - Pictures Appeared On Gay Web Sites
May 12th, 2008
SANTA ANA, CALIFORNIA - Photographers whose high school water polo pictures wound up on gay Web sites won’t be prosecuted.
The Orange County district attorney’s office says a four-month investigation determined Scott Cornelius and Allen Rockwell didn’t commit any crimes.
Cornelius, a University of California, Irvine, police employee currently on paid leave, is still being investigated by the university to determine if he violated college policies.
Photographs of individuals, as young as 14-years-old taken by Cornelius and Rockwell, appeared on homosexual pornographic Web sites, but district attorney’s office spokeswoman Farrah Emami says “legally there were no criminal charges we could file.”
An Assembly bill currently in the Legislature would make preparing, posting or publishing a photograph or image of a minor on adult Web sites a crime.
