San Bernardino County Sheriff, Marc Goodwin (43) was arrested and charged with 16 felonies relating to possession and publication of child pornography. He was arrested by the Fontana Police Department Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit. The charges of possession of child pornography and possession of sadomasochistic child pornography are based on crimes committed from around June 8 through June 24, 2021 according to the charging documents.
Sgt. Marc Goodwin allegedly transmitted the pornographic images utilizing the email address of "loweredforlife.com". The charging documents allege that Goodwin exhibited or published material depicting child sexual content at least 10 separate times from August to October 2012, once in November 2014, twice in January 2017 and one in May of 2021.
“I find it extremely disappointing when a member of our department acts in a manner that discredits the good work being done daily by our deputies,” Sheriff John McMahon said in a statement. “The fact that a sergeant has been arrested makes this particularly egregious because they administer supervision of line staff.” McMahon also said Goodwin "is no longer employed with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department."
