At sentencing he said he made no excuses for his actions. Then, he claimed he turned to CSAM because he suffered from depression and anxiety after a fellow police officer and friend Jason Raynor died 55 days after being shot in the head. He said he spent every day at Raynor’s bedside. Additionally, he said two friends committed suicide. This caused him to turn to CSAM. He claimed he was not sexually attracted to children at all and no one should think he was a sex offender. His lawyer said he “took responsibility for his actions.” The prosecutor said he could understand that he was under stress, but most people turn to drugs or alcohol, not child pornography (CSAM).
