The San Francisco Police Department's tireless efforts in the fight against internet crimes targeting children have once again resulted in action, with their Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Unit arresting a local man on charges of possessing child pornography. The SFPD announced that on Thursday, their Special Victims Unit clamped down on 43-year-old Peter Sherman, an alleged purveyor of the unspeakable, following a lead that surfaced in January.
Authorities secured enough evidence to snag an arrest warrant targeting Sherman's residence on the 600 block of Geary, as reported by the SFPD. it was there that the ICAC investigators, in a concerted operation, bagged additional evidence further incriminating Sherman, who was promptly booked into San Francisco County Jail on three counts of possession of child pornography.
With the Special Victims Unit leading the charge, the SFPD continues to echo a clear message of resilience and determination in safeguarding children against these online predators. Vowing never to back down, they remain on the frontline, tracking down those who target the innocence of our society's most vulnerable.
The San Francisco law enforcement community is rallying the public for help, asking anyone privy to information on such reprehensible activities to move forward. They can reach out to the SFPD at 1-415-575-4444 or send a discreet tip by texting TIP411, prefacing the message with "SFPD." This move can be made in complete anonymity and could lead to quelling the tide of this societal scourge.
