A NYPD sergeant faces up to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to sexual exploitation of children and child porn charges.
Astoria resident Alberto Randazzo, 39, pleaded guilty earlier this week to two counts of conspiracy to sexually exploit a child and one count of receipt of child pornography, according to the office of U.S. Attorney Robert L. Capers.
Randazzo would target mothers through websites such as Ashley Madison and Match.com and persuaded them to sexually abuse their children so he could view it, Capers’ office said. This went on from 2010 through 2013.
The mothers have also been charged with conspiracy to sexually exploit a child.
Randazzo was caught in February 2013, when a witness found disturbing text messages on Randazzo’s phone and uncovered emails from women sending Randazzo pictures of them molesting their children. When the witness confronted him, Randazzo admitted his sexual interest in mothers having sex with their children, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.
Based on the information obtained from the witness and the photographs, the Internal Affairs Bureau of the NYPD obtained a search warrant for Randazzo’s apartment and found numerous images and videos of child pornography, including a number of videos of child pornography that were created by Randazzo himself.
He was arrested and charged in Queens Criminal Court. At the time of his arrest, Randazzo had been a member of the NYPD for 15 years.
While on bail in connection with that case, Randazzo was discovered by Special Agents of Homeland Security Investigations to be downloading child pornography, which led to the Federal investigation and Federal charges being filed.
He faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years and a maximum of 30 years in prison on each of the top counts.
The News reports that Randazza has been fired from the NYPD.
