NYPD Sergeant Arrested on Child Porn Charge

An NYPD sergeant has been accused of possessing child pornography, authorities said.

Alberto Randazzo, 36, was arrested Monday at his Astoria home and charged with using a child in a sexual performance, promoting a sexual performance by a child and possessing a sexual performance by a child. 

The Daily News reports police discovered the alleged pornography on a computer belonging to the 15-year NYPD veteran, though it wasn't clear if it was a personal or department device. 

The paper also said Randazzo has been suspended without pay pending the outcome of the investigation.

It wasn't immediately clear if Randazzo had an attorney.
