The (now former) North Las Vegas Chief of Police Joseph Chronister retired yesterday, and with it, he’s decided to reveal some of the more disturbing goings-on in the force. More specifically, the fact that “what he believed to be” child pornography somehow just kept “popping up” on Mayor John Lee’s iPad—which the cops then helped him promptly delete.
The confession apparently comes out of remorse that the former North Vegas chief’s department hadn’t done more to investigate the mysterious case of the kiddie porn iPad ghost. Because while the chief did assign a detective to the case after the mayor claimed the images popped up upon opening an email, the investigation itself only lasted a day. From the Las Vegas Review Journal:
In his report, the detective said he found no emails having to do with porno*graphy of any kind but did find links to three pornographic websites in the iPad’s browser history. Two of the sites were not illegal, the detective determined, but the third showed pornography organized by the country where the images originated. He said the site looked illegal.
“I did locate several possible photos that could be considered child porno*graphy, but since they were in a different country, I could not verify the age of the people pictured,” the detective wrote.
