Leslie Shawn Brock was appointed to the Lockland City Council in 2019. He served on the finance and safety and the health and welfare committees. In September 2022, he was arrested for possession of Child Sexual Abuse Material. He was uploading CSAM and the Internet Crimes Against Children tipped off the Sheriff’s Office.

The Enquirer article has more details on the CSAM but it is disturbing and overly specific, so be advised it may be triggering.

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).
