A former Portsmouth police sergeant pleaded guilty Tuesday to distributing child pornography.
Thomas Humphries, 63, faces a mandatory minimum of five years in prison when he is sentenced Oct. 18.
Humphries admitted that he posted an image of child pornography to a website commonly used by child porn traders.
Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had been monitoring the site when they discovered Humphries' post in December 2009.
Humphries joined the Police Department in 1982 and retired earlier this year amid the investigation. He remains free pending sentencing.

HMMMMM... Go ahead and add child porn distribution to murder, extortion, bribery, assault, rape, falsification of reports, perjury, reckless driving, and drug dealing to the list of crimes our "heroes" like to do. Serve and protect. thats the ticket!
You can't stereotype when you don't know the man. Every type of catagory of people have bad seeds. It's the person, not the field. I know my men in blue very well.
