Deputy accused of taking 400 photos of students

An investigator determined that a former Douglas County, Nebraska deputy secretly took approximately 400 photos and videos of school girls. The images were stored in an encrypted application. The footage either showed students behind their skirts or focused on their rear ends and genital areas while they were under a dress.

The photos originated from school security cameras or the deputy's personal phone. He shared the visual evidence on social media and used a paid application to generate AI nudities of the girls. Some images depicted young children being sexually assaulted. In at least one instance, the AI showed a bestiality scenario.

Law enforcement has identified 13 additional victims through interviews. A further 17 individuals have not yet been identified. The investigator noted that the victims included middle and high school students, former acquaintances, and acquaintances. The group also included underage girls who participated in the Sheriff's Office's Explorers program.

The deputy also captured video of a child pornography program on his phone. That specific video was not generated by the paid application. The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to confirm the identities of the remaining suspects.
