Cop tweeted for kiddie porn: feds

A Manhattan prosecutor, summing up her case against accused sexual predator Harvey Weinstein, suggested that the terror of his overmatched victims was a turnon for the Oscar-winning producer.

“Let’s face it, the defendant didn’t have to trick women into his lair,” Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi told jurors Friday as she wrapped up the longawaited case against the disgraced ex-Miramax Films executive.

“But maybe his kink is the fear in their eyes.”

Illuzzi heaped praised on the six victims called to testify against Weinstein, 67, who faces life imprisonment if convicted on the top charges in his rape and sexual abuse trial. Though initially intimidated, the courageous half-dozen women stepped up to share the sickening details about the deviant defendant’s behavior, Illuzi said during her three-hour closing argument in Manhattan Supreme Court.

“Did it look like they were all having fun up there?” she asked of the weeping witnesses who took the stand. “Did it look like that was a party, that was a premiere? Or did it look like it was horrible and grueling?”

An NYPD cop bought child porn via Twitter and had hundreds of illicit images on his computer, federal investigators said Friday.

Timothy Martinez, 40, of Staten Island, was charged with possession of child porn on Feb. 7, officials said.

Martinez used a Twitter account in August 2018 to carry out a multi-day conversation with someone he believed was under 18 years old. Martinez paid the person to send him child porn videos and images, according to federal prosecutors.

After discovering that the Twitter account linked to an email under Martinez’s name, federal investigators obtained a warrant to search the cop’s home.

They found a computer with more than 600 images of child porn on it, including some showing victims who appear to be as young as 8 years old, authorities said.

Martinez was suspended without pay by the NYPD when he was arrested. A spokeswoman for the department said the matter is under investigation.

Martinez, who has been a cop for 13 years, was released on $150,000 bail.
