Former Rock Hill PD detective convicted of possession of child pornography in federal case
COLUMBIA, S.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A federal jury in Columbia convicted former Rock Hill Police officer Daniel Paul Shealy Thursday on 18 counts of possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material, the U.S. Attorney's Office for South Carolina reported. According to evidence presented during trial, in 2023 investigators with the York County Sheriff's Office received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that three videos depicting the sexual abuse of children were flagged on the social messaging app Kik, under the username 'orgasmd0nor.' Investigators with the sheriff's office and FBI traced the account and IP address to 36-year-old Shealy, a detective and former school resource officer at South Pointe High School. Court documents further revealed that Shealy was a member of more than 40 private groups on Kik allegedly designed for users to trade child sexual abuse material, including groups with references to minors, teens, and incest in the titles. PREVIOUS: Jury selection begins in federal child pornography case against former Rock Hill detective Investigators testified during trial that after receiving the tip, they executed a search warrant on Shealy's phone and his Kik account. Shealy's phone was in his patrol car and accessible through his thumbprint and a passcode, which was his badge number. The U.S. Attorneys Office says agents recovered 126 explicit videos of children from Shealy's phone and Kik account, which he had received or distributed to others on the internet. He was arrested by York County deputies Sept. 28, 2023, and was held without bond. The jury returned a guilty verdict following three days of testimony and an hour and a half of deliberation. Court documents say Shealy admitted at trial that he operated the account being investigated and accessed the unlawful material on the platform. He also admitted that he never reported the any of the videos to Kik or to law enforcement because he either did not know how to report or was concerned about his privacy related to his intimate life. Shealy was taken into custody at the conclusion of the trial. 'The facts alone in this case were disturbing but became even more appalling because the defendant was a police officer, an individual given immense public trust,' said U.S. Attorney Bryan Stirling for the District of South Carolina. 'We remain committed to holding those who betray public trust accountable and protecting our most vulnerable citizens, our children. We're grateful to the FBI, York County Sheriff's Office for their work on this case and our trial attorneys that worked diligently to bring this man to justice.'

Former police officer convicted of possession of child sex abuse material
A federal jury convicted a former Rock Hill police officer for the possession of child sex abuse material. In December 2023, investigators with the York County Sheriff's Office received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children that three videos depicting the sexual abuse of children were flagged on the social messaging app Kik, under the username 'orgasmd0nor.' Investigators eventually traced the account and IP address to 36-year-old Daniel Paul Shealy, a detective and former school resource officer with the Rock Hill Police Department.

PERVIOUS COVERAGE: Former police officer accused of having child sex abuse material faces federal charges Further investigation revealed that Shealy was a member of more than 40 private groups on Kik designed for users to trade child sexual abuse material, including groups with references to minors, teens, and incest in the titles. According to testimony from a Kik representative, users in such groups often exchange images and videos of rape, sexual assault, bestiality, and other abuse of children. Investigators testified during the trial that after receiving the tip, they executed a search warrant on Shealy's phone and his Kik account. Shealy's phone was in his patrol car and accessible through his thumbprint and a passcode, which was his badge number. Agents said they recovered 126 explicit videos of children from Shealy's phone and Kik account, which Shealy had received or distributed to others on the internet. The files included recordings of prepubescent minors in bondage and constraints, and child sex abuse materials represented the majority of the explicit content recovered from his Kik account. When Shealy testified at trial, he admitted that he operated the orgasmd0nor account and that he accessed child sex abuse material on the platform. He also admitted that he never reported any of the videos to Kik or to law enforcement because he either did not know how to report or was concerned about his privacy related to his intimate life.
