(Photo by JW August/Times of San Diego)A former Navy detective and El Cajon police officer pleaded guilty Thursday to a federal count of conspiracy to distribute child sex abuse material.
They were investigating a darknet email provider that was being utilized to share child sex abuse material.
The excessive force incident occurred in November 2023.
His guilty plea in the excessive force case – for choking a handcuffed sailor to the point of unconsciousness – included an agreement to resign from his position and prohibitions against seeking future employment with law enforcement agencies.
He also admitted to lying on his application to the Navy’s Criminal Investigations Division by concealing several prior excessive force incidents that led to his resignation from the El Cajon Police Department.
