Decs detail examinations of the TPD representative with children's porn found

Court documents submitted on Tuesday claim that a police officer of Tuscaloosa has deliberately set up and held child pornography, including material that shows very small children.

As the thread reported, the TPD patrol officer Corey Nicholas Burcham was arrested on Monday and charged with 10 cases of possessing sexual abuse of children after the investigators reported illegal pictures on his cell phone.

On Tuesday, court documents were submitted in which the arrest from an investigation in September 2024 was created when the operators of a dating and meeting app submitted a cybertip for missing and exploited children via a chat on their platform.

In the reported chat, the police asked that the suspect, who is now Corey Burcham, asked questions: “Think, an 11-year-old chubby girl can handle daddy?” And some others too explicitly to print them here by asked for pictures of young girls.

The cybertip led to a summons to find out whose IP address was connected to the chat in which the West Alabama Human Trafficking Task Force led to Burcham's house in Northport.

In Alabama, the possession of a photo or video that shows child pornography is a crime of class C, and suspects are charged with possessions of each individual file.

The investigators confiscated a Burcham cell phone and allegedly discovered 10 files that represent child pornography. Three of the supposedly depicted victim police officers who were classified as “toddlers”.

TPD said Burcham worked as a patrol police officer from January 2019 to last week.

In a press release on Monday, in which his publication became known, TPD boss Brent Blankley said that Burcham will never have the privilege again as a law enforcement officer.

“When we found out about these allegations for the first time last week, we started using the necessary procedures that make sure that he will never work again as a police officer,” said Tuscaloosa police chief, Brent Blankley. “We have no tolerance for measures that undermine public trust and damage children.

Burcham stayed in the Tuscaloosa County prison on Tuesday afternoon.
