| A former Calgary police constable has pleaded guilty to
accessing more than 4,000 images of child pornography while he was
employed by the service. Thomas Buttle, 33, was arrested in March and charged with three child porn-related offences. On Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to one charge; the other two will be withdrawn at sentencing. Buttle, who was a four-year member of CPS, appeared in court with his wife. At the time of his arrest, CPS said Buttle had been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of his trial. CBC News requested an update on his status with the service and was told on Tuesday that he had resigned several months earlier. Defence lawyer Alain Hepner and prosecutor Jenny Rees told provincial court Judge Frank Maloney a sentencing hearing would take place in May after a psychiatric risk assessment is completed. Buttle is facing a minimum of six months in jail. https://globalnews.ca/news/4775081/former-calgary-police-officer-child-porn/ |
