An ex-Dallas police officer has pleaded guilty to possessing sexually explicit images of little girls, announced U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Erin Nealy Cox.

Daniel Lee Collins, a 35-year-old former senior corporal, pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography before U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Cureton Friday morning.

According to plea papers, Mr. Collins admitted he accessed child pornography via his Google email account in spring 2020.

Mr. Collins further admitted he knew the images depicted actual minors, including a nude prepubescent female, and portrayed “sadistic or masochistic conduct.” He also acknowledged that on one occasion, he knowingly distributed a file containing sexually explicit images of a child.

According to a criminal complaint filed in July, the investigation was triggered when Google detected sexually explicit images uploaded to Mr. Collin’s Google account via the City of Dallas’ internet network.

Google flagged the images – one uploaded on May 13 to an account tagged “Dan Collins” and two more uploaded on June 29 to an account tagged “John Smith” – to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which filed a Cyber Tipline report with the Dallas Police Department.

A Dallas IT specialist traced the IP addresses used for the uploads to the City of Dallas internet network. Investigators determined that the same Google accounts were also accessed from Mr. Collin’s residence.

Mr. Collins, who resigned from the Dallas Police Department earlier this week, now faces up to 20 years in federal prison. His sentencing is slated for Jan. 8, 2021.

Daniel Lee Collins has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for possession of child pornography.

According to a criminal complaint filed in July, the investigation was triggered after Google flagged three images uploaded to two different Google accounts, notifying the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which filed a report with the Dallas Police Department.

Collins accessed and uploaded sexually explicit images of underage girls to several Google accounts between May 13 and July 23, according to court records. The images “portrayed sadistic or masochistic conduct or other depiction of violence,” documents show.

When he was arrested in July, Collins admitted to using his iPhone to access and save child pornography, according to court documents.
 
That's what scares me most as a parent. I hate, particularly on this site, when people remark that someone "looks like a perv". Pervs can look like anyone. Anyone.
I used to work in a prison. Some pedos look very freakish. Most of them look like your grandpa, which means they were probably offending and not getting caught when they looked like any normal dad.
