Columbus cops blame 11-year-old girl for being groomed: video

Two Ohio cops are being investigated for their response to a sexual misconduct case involving a child after a video of them appearing to blame the 11-year-old girl for creating “child porn” went viral.

Two Columbus police officers, a female and male, were seen talking to the girl’s father on their front porch, six hours after he allegedly called to report that a man online had manipulated his daughter into sending him pictures of herself, doorbell camera footage shows.

The dad tells officers he called because he wanted them to talk to his daughter, who he said was now sleeping, to get her “to realize what this was,” before conceding that he knew the “reality” was there probably wasn’t much he could do.

The female officer is heard telling the dad his pre-teen daughter “could probably get charged with child porn” if she produced the images.

“Who? She can? She’s 11 years old,” he responds, to which the officer replies, “She’s creating it, right?”

“She’s 11 years old,” the incredulous dad repeats.

“Doesn’t matter. She’s still making porn,” the female officer curtly says.

“No. She’s being manipulated by a grown a– adult on the internet,” the father counters, before the female officer cuts him off.

“Is she taking pictures, though?” she asks.

“You guys have a nice evening,” the dad says as he heads back into the house. “Thank you for coming.”

It’s unclear when the troubling incident took place, but the social media poster wrote on TikTok Monday that the officers showed up at their doorstep at midnight — six hours after the concerned dad called for help.

The Columbus Division of Police confirmed Monday that the two responding officers seen in the viral exchange were from its force.

The department says it is investigating the video shared online “involving two officers responding to a call for service.”

“The Division of Police regards all allegations of sexual misconduct with the utmost seriousness. Incidents involving minors are handled with the highest degree of concern. Sexual Assault Unit detectives were immediately notified of the incident and have since initiated an investigation.”

The Columbus Department of the Inspector General “which investigates complaints of misconduct and/or excessive use of force by sworn personnel, has opened an inquiry into this incident,” according to the statement.
