Two police officer in Ohio are under scrutiny after a viral video of them responding to a call about a minor being groomed shows them blaming the child, The New York Post reported.
The video shows two Columbus police officers on a porch talking to the father of an 11-year-old girl — six hours after he called them to report that a man had coerced his daughter to send pictures of herself.
The female officer can be heard telling the father that his daughter “could probably get charged with child porn.”
“Who? She can? She’s 11 years old,” he responds.
“She’s creating it, right?” the officer says.
“She’s 11 years old,” the father says in disbelief.
“Doesn’t matter. She’s still making porn,” the female officer replies.
“No. She’s being manipulated by a grown adult on the internet,” the father counters.
“Is she taking pictures, though?” she asks.
