DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF NEWS)- A former Dallas Police Officer has pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography.
U.S. Attorney Erin Nearly Cox reported on Friday 35-year-old Daniel Lee Collins admitted to accessing images knowing they depicted minors, and at one time distributing sexually explicit images of a child.
An investigation into Collins began in May after Google detected images had been uploaded to his account through the City of Dallas internet network, which eventually led to his arrest in July.
WFAA-TV reports he is scheduled to be sentenced in January 2021 and is now facing up to 20 years in federal prison.
