Gregory Beaumarchais is accused of sending inappropriate messages to a civilian pretending to be a 14-year-old girl.
between December 2021 and January 2022 according to officials. After the tip was submitted, the social media site deactivated Beaumarchais' account, police say, but he later allegedly created a new account with a similar handle.
"Police officers are entrusted with the sacred responsibility to safeguard society from harm," said Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer. "It is beyond disturbing that a sworn police officer would engage in inappropriate conversations with someone he believed to be a child. Our children should not have to worry about being preyed upon by the very people we teach them who are there to protect them.
Beaumarchais faces a maximum sentence of one year in county jail if convicted, and would have to register as a sex offender.that I have read and agree
