Officer 'mywebboys' Being Investigated for Posting Child Porn

Federal agents last week searched the Cottage Grove Police Department and a patrol officer’s Eugene home for evidence that the officer posted child pornography online, newly filed court documents show.

The Cottage Grove officer has not been arrested or charged with any crime in connection with the ongoing FBI investigation.

However, search warrant applications filed by FBI agent Christopher Luh state that investigators have probable cause to believe that the officer has violated federal child pornography laws.

The investigation began last September, when officials with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children informed the FBI that someone with the user name “mywebboys” had posted child pornography on a Web site known as Photobucket, the applications state.

The applications include graphic descriptions of photos posted online from an Internet provider address registered to the officer. All of the photos depict nude, prepubescent boys, some of whom are performing sex acts, the documents state.

FBI agents last Friday served a search warrant at the Cottage Grove Police Department and seized images from three desktop computers and one laptop.

According to a separate warrant served at the officer’s north Eugene home, FBI agents seized five cameras, five computers and other items.
