An NYPD officer is accused of posing as a 17-year-old to solicit pornography from at least 46 minors

A New York City police officer has been accused of posing as a 17-year-old on Twitter to solicit pornography from at least 46 minors, according to court documents.

Officer Carmine Simpson, 26, was arrested on Thursday and charged with the sexual exploitation of children.

Acting US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Seth DuCharme said in a statement that Simpson, of Holbrook, New York, targeted "vulnerable" children between the ages of 13 and 17 and "repeatedly enticed" them to make explicit videos and photos for him.

According to a criminal complaint, prosecutors say Simpson communicated with at least 46 children on Twitter and obtained at least 18 sexually explicit photos and 33 sexually explicit videos.
