A Columbus police officer can be heard repeatedly asserting that an 11-year-old girl could be charged with creating child sexual abuse images of herself
COLUMBUS, Ohio — — A Columbus police officer repeatedly asserted that an 11-year-old girl could be charged with creating child sexual abuse images of herself and sending those pictures to an adult man, in body camera footage obtained by The Associated Press.
The officers' conduct is being investigated, as well as any crime that may have been committed against the girl, Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant said in a statement Tuesday. She also said the department reached out to apologize to the father. The father protests and says that she’s a child who was manipulated by an adult, according to the police report and the father's TikTok video. The officer asks him if she was taking pictures, and the father ends the conversation.
In a statement Tuesday, the police chief repeatedly referred to the 11-year-old as the victim of a crime. She said that the officers' conduct did not live up to her expectations that officers “treat every victim of crime with compassion, decency and dignity.”The AP also obtained the audio from the father's police call and a dispatch log with notes called in from the responding officers.
The police report identifies the officers as Kelsie Schneider and Brian Weiner. A number listed for Schneider went straight to voicemail. Weiner answered a call but asked a reporter not to contact him. Police said the actions of the officers was referred to the Inspector General's office and are under review.
