Our children should not have to worry about being preyed upon by the very people we teach them who are there to protect them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beaumarchais allegedly exchanged sexually explicit social media messages with a civilian posing as a 14-year-old girl between December 2021 and January 2022.\u00a0The sexually graphic messages were often sent while Beaumarchais was on duty, Orange County District Attorney\u2019s Office spokesperson Kimberly Edds told the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/08\/03\/california-detective-of-the-year-gregory-beaumarchais-charged-for-sending-sexual-messages-to-he-thought-was-a-child\/\">New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When his social media provider barred him, Beaumarchais allegedly created another account under a similar user name, Edds said.<\/p>\n<p>The civilian who posed as a young girl contacted the non-profit organization Orange County Crime Stoppers and reported the alleged criminality.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the Orange County Sheriff\u2019s Office, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security took part in the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s filing of criminal charges for showing sexual interest in children shows no one is above the law when it comes to keeping communities free from predators,\u201d said Shawn Gibson, acting special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations\u2019 Los Angeles bureau. \u201cHSI is grateful for the collaboration with our federal, state and local law enforcement partners to get these predators out of our communities and into the justice system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beaumarchais turned himself in Tuesday after a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was released on his own recognizance and is due back in court to face formal charges on October 13. He has been placed on administrative leave.<\/p>\n<p>Beaumarchais, a veteran of more than a decade with the Santa Ana Police Department, was part of its \u201cMajor Enforcement Team,\u201d which handles criminal activity including gangs, gun trafficking, and narcotics, according to the Post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUpon assessing the information, the Department\u2019s Internal Affairs Unit determined the matter to be criminal in nature and the Police Department took immediate and swift action in referring these allegations to the appropriate local and federal authorities,\u201d\u00a0Santa Ana Police officials said. \u201cOur department learned of this information on a Friday, and the following Monday, we directly engaged with federal partners to initiate a criminal investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If convicted, Beaumarchais will be required to register as a sex offender and face up to a year in the Orange County Jail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A California cop who was heralded as \u201cDetective of the Year\u201d just three years ago has been charged with sending sexually explicit messages to someone he thought was a teenage girl, authorities said.
