(Scroll down for video) A man used his power as a police officer to take nude photos of children.
Washington D.C. police officer Marc Washington, 32, has been arrested and charged with child pornography.
Washington, who works with the Metropolitan Police Department, is accused of taking nude photographs of a 15-year-old in her own bedroom while her mother was in another room.
The girl had been reported missing by her mother, and Washington was sent to the home to take a missing persons report, according to court documents.
The next day, the mother called police asking the child to be removed from the missing persons list.
Later that day, Washington returned to the girl’s apartment.
He asked to talk to the girl in private, supposedly to talk to her about where she had been.
Once inside her bedroom, Washington ordered the girl to remove her shirt and bra so he can photograph her injuries.
The girl insisted that she had not been injured. The officer ordered her to comply by saying it was part of the police investigation.
The officer then told the girl to remove her underpants in order to take pictures of the tattoos on her hips for "identification purposes."
When she removed her clothing he photographed her private parts.
After Washington left the apartment, the girl told her mother what happened, and the mother called 911.
When Washington learned about the 911 call he deleted all the photos.
Police confiscated the camera and experts were able to recover the photos.
They found the photos of the 15-year-old victim, along with other unidentified victims.
Washington has been with D.C. police department since 2006.
