Brian Zenszer, 43, used the messaging app Kik to request and view dozens of child pornography files, federal prosecutors said.
Transit police van on the sidewalk outside the entrance to Broad Street Line on northeast corner of N. Broad and Spring Garden.A SEPTA transit police officer who prosecutors say watched and shared child pornography for years — sometimes while on the job — has been charged with child sexual exploitation.
Zenszer, who was fired after the criminal charges were lodged, was a SEPTA police officer for 17 years, assigned to foot patrols throughout the transit system, primarily along the Broad Street and Market-Frankford Lines, said Andrew Busch, SEPTA spokesperson. Omari Bervine, president of Fraternal Order of Transit Police Lodge 109, the union that represents about 200 patrol officers, said the union was not representing Zenszer and declined to comment further.
After executing a search warrant for the accounts, federal investigators found 24 files containing child pornography on an account that Zenszer used to view and share images and to communicate with others online, sometimes requesting videos of minors being sexually abused, the complaint said.
