Meet Michael Harding. That’s him below…
Michael was a Port Saint Lucie, Florida Police Officer – “was” being the operative word….
In fact Michael had been named the Florida’s “Officer of the Year” when he was with the Ft. Pierce, Florida Police Department in 2010 (he is pictured below receiving his award), had received the “Exceptional Police Service” Award in 2009 and had “starred” in several “public safety” videos (** editorial note ** I’m sure a few folks are ruing those decisions… especially the “public safety” videos, unless of course Michael had been advising children and parents to beware of f’ing freaks such as himself).
But today Michael is rotting in a federal holding cell while he awaits prosecution for “Receiving and Distributing Material Involving Sexual Exploitation of Minors and Possession of Child Pornography” (you can read the entire Federal Criminal Complaint by clicking here).
Feds claim that Michael used the “KiK” instant message service to post and share child porn and, moreover, time stamps indicate that he was doing so while on duty.
Unfortunately for Michael an undercover U.S. Department of Homeland Security Agent was trolling for child sex offenders and predators in a chat room called “#toddlerf*ck”, which is where Michael, who allegedly went by the screen name “DeathFromAbove”, was caught with both videos and images of preteen and preschool aged children. Making matters worse (if possible) are the facts that A) “hundreds of images and videos of sexually exploited children” were found on his home computer, B) his police department issued work laptop was used to upload child porn and C) he is married with three (3) young children of his own.
As stated, Michael was posting and viewing child porn while on the job, in his squad car and with his department issued laptop. Per the sworn affidavit of DHS Special Agent Brian Ray: “the vehicle being in use, coupled with the lack of vehicle movement and the posts occurring using cellular data, is consistent with the child pornography uploads taking place when Harding was working in his Port St. Lucie Police Department Vehicle.” Memo to the Folks: Michael Harding is a f’ing disgrace…
Memo to the Folks continued: BUT… It is critical to remember that Michael Harding is also the exception to the rule, being the proverbial “bad apple”….
Memo to the Folks continued: As with most things in life, please don’t hold the entire group (all cops) accountable for the actions of the few….
Memo to the Folks continued: It is also critical to remember:
- Haber’s Social Media Rule #4: Cops literally troll the internet looking for folks who go to, look in, download from or upload to targeted (and usually, but not always “deviant”) sites. They also conduct internet “stings”, posing as children or deviants and looking to bag anyone foolish enough to take the bait.
