A Chicago police officer has been charged with possessing child pornography. The charge was filed against 27-year-old Eric Hargrove after a search of his home turned up pornographic images on computer. Assistant Cook County State’s Attorney Kathy Muldoon said Wednesday the images were of boys as young as 12 years old. Bail for Hargrove was set at $100,000. Authorities have not said what led to the search of Hargrove’s home. Hargrove’s attorney, Tom Needham, said his client has been a police officer since 2005, and has no previous record. According to the Chicago Police Department, Hargrove has been relieved of his police powers and placed on administrative duty. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
