CENSORED! WHY?

Chesapeake Police officer Timothy Newton was denied bond after being busted with child pornography last week in what began as a sexual assault investigation involving a child. Police responded to a complaint that Newton had molested a child and found dozens of images on his phone depicting children engaged in sexual activities. He is accused of molesting a 12 year old until the child was 14 but has not been formally charged yet. Newton himself has two kids and was living with a woman along with her child by another man. Prosecutors claims that sexual assault charges will likely follow once that investigation is complete, so for now he is only being held on the child porn charges but at least the department has suspended him. However, he appears to technically still be a member of the police force pending the outcome of the case and official termination proceedings.


Newton is expected to remain in jail until at least March 16th of next year when his next hearing is scheduled, but such hearings are known to be bumped up when a defendant's lawyer can argue a change in circumstances that could entitle him to bail. Hopefully the only changes in circumstances will be more charges which will likely include those for sexually assaulting the first victim with the possible addition of *********** charges based on the discovery of material depicting animals. When denying bail the judge called Newton, "a significant danger to the public."


According to public records, Timothy M. Newton is a 39 year old resident of Chesapeake, Virginia.
