RICHMOND, Va. — A former Henrico police officer is among the individuals the FBI Richmond Field Office arrested as part of a coordinated effort by FBI field offices across the country last week to apprehend alleged child sexual abuse offenders.
Allan Martin of Henrico was arrested on April 29 for possession and receipt of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
Martin worked for the Henrico Police Division from 1986 until January 2016 when he retired, according to a Henrico police spokesperson.
“Mr. Martin worked in our Patrol Bureau, Community Services Section, and Criminal Investigations Section during his employment with the Henrico County Police Division,” the spokesperson wrote in an email. “We’re aware of the charges placed against Mr. Martin and will continue to work with FBI Richmond on this investigation.”
Saoeun Hing of Richmond was arrested on May 1 for the same charge.
Christopher Johnson of Salem, near Roanoke, was also arrested on May 2 for transportation of material involving the sexual exploitation of minors.
“Operation Restore Justice,” which involved all 55 FBI field offices, resulted in 205 arrests and the rescue of 115 children nationwide from April 28 to May 1.
"Parents, you have to know, this is so serious, your child has no right to privacy on the internet. None," Attorney General Pam Bondi said. "You have to monitor what your kids are doing. Whether they're playing games on the internet, on social media, any other website that children, teenagers frequent, an online predator can find them.
