Washington, D.C
DC officer charged with child porn, solicitation of a minor
A D.C. police officer was arrested and charged with sexual solicitation of a minor and child pornography.
Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Matthew Mahl, who previously served as chairman of the D.C. Police Union, was arrested in Harford County, Maryland.
MPD revoked Mahl’s police powers and placed him on administrative leave, a spokesperson said. The Harford County Sheriff’s Office contacted MPD’s internal affairs division shortly after he was arrested, they said.
“The allegations in this case are extremely disturbing, and in direct contrast to the values of the Metropolitan Police Department. MPD’s Internal Affairs Division will investigate violations of MPD policy once the criminal investigation concludes,” a statement said.
Court records show Mahl is being held without bond and is scheduled for a bond review hearing on Wednesday.
