Dep AG Raymond Liddy has been charged with possession of child pornography in San Diego, California

Liddy entered a ‘Not Guilty’ plea Tuesday, to possession of child pornography in San Diego, California. He was released on $100,000 bond

Local and federal authorities said they traced the activity to Liddy’s home, where a search uncovered photos on a computer and thumbdrive of minors engaged in sexual conduct.
One image showed a nude girl blindfolded with her hands bound together, arrest documents said.
When FBI agents interviewed Liddy, he admitted to using Internet services and user names associated with the images that had been reported by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Liddy admitted to FBI agents and a task force officer at his home on Tuesday, that he was using Internet services by the first provider and the screen name associated with the second provider, as well as other linked email addresses, according to the complaint.
He said he used the screen name and other aliases to share sexual fantasies online, saying he often downloaded sexual images but deleted them shortly after, adding that he might have forwarded some of the images before deleting them, the document says.
H most of the images were of adults, he said, but that it is possible some may have been of children, the complaint states.

He said he used the screen name and other aliases to share sexual fantasies online and later deleting them.
The attorney general’s office said on Wednesday that it is aware of the matter and that the 53-year-old Liddy was placed on administrative leave.
Liddy, a reserve Marine colonel, who received his law degree from Fordham University School of Law, has been a state prosecutor since 2008.
His stated focus as a prosecutor has been healthcare, including cases about drug pricing, Medi-Cal fraud, elder abuse, kickbacks and off-label drug marketing.

A California deputy attorney general has been charged in San Diego with possession of child pornography. Raymond Joseph Liddy pled not guilty on Tuesday, was released on $100,000 bond and placed on house arrest with GPS monitoring.
An investigation into Liddy, a Deputy Attorney General  was launched after an electronic service provider sent a tip to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in January that a user had uploaded an image that appeared to be kiddy porn. About a month later, another service provider sent a similar tip to the organization reporting that a user had uploaded 10 such images via a messaging program.
The tips were then forwarded to the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children task force, which traced the online  activity to a home in Coronado. Investigators delved deeper into the user’s emails and chat logs and found the person portrayed himself as a 48-year-old married man with children, although his user profile also indicated he was 52, the complaint says.
