An who worked with school resource officers was arrested by the FBI on suspicion of child sex exploitation, police officials said Wednesday.
Aaron Bunch was arrested on federal charges related to sending and receiving child sexual abuse material online, Aurora police said in a statement.
Bunch was a supervisor of school resource officers, but there is no evidence that any students or children in Aurora Public Schools, the Cherry Creek School District or the Aurora community were “impacted or victimized,” department officials said.
He was put on unpaid administrative leave, and the department launched an internal investigation into conduct and policy violations.
In a statement, Aurora police Chief Todd Chamberlain described the allegations as disturbing.
“This person has brought shame and disgrace to the badge and to an honorable profession,” Chamberlain said. “Such behavior undermines the trust and legitimacy that our officers work hard to earn every single day.”
