ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. — Following a four-day trial, a jury found a 20-year law enforcement veteran guilty of two felony counts of sexual exploitation of a child.
NCMEC pinned the IP address to Colorado. The Colorado Springs Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force submitted a federal subpoena in October 2020 and learned the IP address was linked to the home of Jerry Stinnett in Aurora. The case was turned over to the Aurora Police Department. Stinnett, 65, was found guilty of sexual exploitation of a child - 20+ items and sexual exploitation of a child - possession of pornographic material.
Stinnett worked in law enforcement for two decades before retiring in 2013, the district attorney's office said.
