Cop charged with possessing child porn

Granby, Conn. (WTNH) - A Granby police captain is facing federal child porn charges after police found as many as 100,000 images and videos on his computers.

David Bourque, 50, of West Suffield, has been charged with possession of child pornography.

An undercover officer logged into a file sharing program and downloaded several images of child porn from an account maintained by Bourque. Police then secured a search warrant and found thousands of child porn images and videos on computers at his home and office.
