Travis Desouza, a 35-year-old NYPD officer, has been charged for attempting to send sexually explicit material to an undercover officer who he thought was a 14-year-old girl. This investigation revealed his misconduct within the NYPD's Law Enforcement Explorers youth program, aimed at mentoring young individuals interested in law enforcement. Desouza's actions included using the Snapchat app for communication, leading to serious charges including official misconduct. Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz highlighted the betrayal of trust in a program designed to foster youth confidence in law enforcement.
Desouza was charged with multiple crimes, including official misconduct and obscenity.
The Explorers is an amazing program and our kids need to trust and have faith in its leaders.
