A man confessed that he possessed child pornography as he sat a lie detector test during a job interview for a position with his local police department.
Sergio Celaya, from the US state of Arizona, reportedly told officers in the El Mirage Police Department on Monday (February 6) that he had kept video footage of himself and his former girlfriend engaging in sexual acts together when they were teenagers, according to court documents.

The 25-year-old also allegedly told those interviewing him that he used a website where underage girls could send him videos of themselves that were sexually explicit.
It was reported, meanwhile, that a flash drive belonging to Celaya contained thousands of pornographic photographs and videos, including one that featured children of 12 and 13-years-old.
Furthermore, a raid on Celaya's home then saw the police uncover more child porn on his personal computer and additional flash drives, with some of the disturbing content involving children as young as five.
Such was the volume of pornographic material gathered from Celaya's residence that investigators continued to analyse all the evidence.
Nevertheless, he has already been charged with four counts of exploitation of a minor.

It's been reported that Celaya admitted that he used a free online and video chat website called Omegle to obtain more explicit photos and videos of children from strangers.
He informed investigators, too, that he used a virtual private network (VPN) to encrypt and conceal his identity when he was searching online for underage pornography.
In a statement made on Facebook, El Mirage Police chief Paul Marzocca said: "My detectives acted swiftly once learning of the statements by the suspect. There is no place in any community for possessing this type of material or engaging in this type of behaviour."
